Where Is Karina Garcia From My 600-Lb Life Now?

TLC’s My 600-Lb Life follows the incredible and emotional weight-loss journeys of morbidly obese people as they try to turn their lives around. One memorable story featured in the hit reality series is that of Karina Garcia. But what happened to Karina after the cameras stopped rolling? 

As reported by The Cinemaholic, Karina took part in the show’s sixth season and revealed that her weight problems started at an early age. During her first weigh-in with the show’s doctor, Dr. Now, Karina Garcia weighed 633 pounds. According to Distractify, Karina was also in a wheelchair and lived with her parents, both of whom enabled her excessive eating habits.

Luckily, Garcia was able to stick to Dr. Now’s strict diet and exercise plan during the show, and lost a total of 235 pounds. He was later approved for gastric bypass surgery in the episode.
