What Happened To Melissa Morris From My 600-Lb Life?

Melissa Morris was the first patient to ever feature on the show in 2012. As The Cinemaholic notes, the Texas native topped out at 653 pounds when she first appeared in Dr. Now's office. Her loving husband, Chris, found it difficult to say "no" to her and as a result Morris was used to a sedentary lifestyle where she was binge-eating around the clock. She could barely walk or do normal everyday activities and her dreams of having children one day seemed out of reach.

Morris' journey was incredibly inspirational, particularly as she adjusted to Dr. Now's infamously tough diet plan remarkably well. She got her gastric bypass surgery, started exercising regularly and eating properly and, after shedding excess weight, even underwent skin removal surgeries. After seven years with Dr. Now, Morris dropped an incredible 447 pounds, setting the bar for everybody who would feature on the show after her.
