Where Is Doug Armstrong From My 600-Lb Life Now?

Weighing 685 kilos, Doug Armstrong dreaded mornings. Unable to get up alone, he relied on his wife Ashley. Feeling guilty, he feared Ashley’s limit of care. Ashley, juggling kids and Doug, showed unwavering love.

In flashbacks, Doug opened up about his tough childhood. With his father away, his mother struggled to raise him. At six, his mother left him and his brother. Left with caregivers, Doug’s life took a dark turn.

At seven, Doug weighed 200 kilos. By 18, he reached 350 pounds. At 26, he hit 450 pounds. After a divorce, Doug spiraled into depression. Turning to meth, he battled addiction for two years.

Breaking free from drugs, Doug faced food addiction. Struggling at 660 pounds, change was necessary. Seeking help from Dr. Now in Houston, Doug aimed to lose weight. The goal was to drop 50 pounds for surgery approval.

Despite setbacks, Doug’s determination grew. After two months, he lost 84 pounds and got approved.
