Megan Davis first appeared on My 600-lb Life in 2020, weighing 604 pounds. Her weight issues began in childhood, reaching 200 pounds by the age of five. Megan turned to food for comfort due to strained relationships with her parents, which only exacerbated her weight gain. By the time she sought help from Dr. Now, she felt trapped in her own body, relying on her mother for daily needs.
Dr. Now’s Program and Slow but Steady Progress
Under Dr. Now’s guidance, Megan Davis embarked on a challenging weight loss journey. Despite a slow start, losing only 14 pounds in three months, Megan persisted. Her weight eventually dropped to 558 pounds, thanks to her consistent efforts. Dr. Now recognized her commitment. He pushed for more significant changes in her eating habits. He wanted her to reach 500 pounds before approving her for weight loss surgery.
Megan was finally approved for gastric sleeve surgery, a significant milestone in her journey. The procedure helped her achieve more substantial weight loss, enabling her to live a more active life. She moved back to Illinois to continue her recovery and enjoy the benefits of her hard work.
Congrats Megan! See y’all next week! #my600lblife pic.twitter.com/lNOqzSHZaE

Life After Surgery
Since her surgery, Megan Davis has made several significant changes in her life. She moved to Texas, found love, and started working as a babysitter. Megan also ventured into online businesses, selling clothes, accessories, and dog treats. Despite facing personal challenges, including the loss of her father in 2020 and having to give up her dog for adoption, Megan remains resilient.
Megan’s journey hasn’t been without setbacks. She faced issues with diet adherence, such as being caught drinking diet soda instead of water. Her progress was slower than expected, and Dr. Now ultimately decided to end their program. Despite these challenges, Megan’s last reported weight was 481 pounds, reflecting a significant overall weight loss.
No, Megan has NOT done well on the diet. It took her an entire year to lose 100 lbs#My600lbLife
