The 6000 Lb Diaries with Dr. Now dropped episode 9 on Lifetime on June 7, 2025. The episode featured a patient named Lauren who has been dealing with extreme obesity, and this has barred her from going outside and resulted in a lack of movement.
Due to this, her self-confidence is shaken, and in this episode, viewers see Dr. Now treating her while also motivating her to improve her mental well-being.
During her introduction on The 6000 Lb Diaries with Dr. Now, Lauren seemed to be exhausted with her body and claimed that she is "trapped" inside of it. She is 25 years old and says she is "terrified" of losing her life to this.
This is the reason she is consulting with Dr. Now to improve her physical form and be able to move around, go out, and experience things.
The episode begins with her going for her appointment with Dr. Now, hoping that he does not turn her away. She feels as if there is nobody else who can help her out of this situation other than him.
On the car ride over, she reveals that it is very uncomfortable for her to travel as her legs have gotten swollen, and she is hungry.
The 6000 Lb Diaries with Dr. Now - Lauren's appointment
As she visited the clinic on The 6000 Lb Diaries with Dr. Now, Lauren was required to weigh in. She stood on the machine that showed she was close to 700 pounds in weight.
Dr. Now visited her and asked what had caused this tremendous amount of fat, and she said that it was "pizza, burger," and all sorts of junk foods under the sun.
The doctor quipped that it was her goal to get as bug as possible, but Lauren denies it and says that she thought her diet was getting better, but not. Dr. Now warns her that if she wants to make it to 30 years old, she can not keep up with this at all.
Lauren says her confidence is shaken, and she has not left her apartment in three years. It is because she fears judgment and does not want to see what people will say or react when they see someone like her in public. To this, Dr. Now replied,
"First of all, you have to realize you are not the only person that size. Nowadays, we see a lot of people your size, and society is getting more used to that. But the fact that you say you care about what people say or think about you, you will never have any opportunity to do anything. What matters is what you think about yourself."
Before going for a surgery after this on The 6000 Lb Diaries with Dr. Now, Lauren reveals that she had gotten her nails done. As nail art, she had gotten Dr. Now's face printed on each of her nails.
She says she had to keep him for motivation. As for her surgery, she was supposed to lose 25 pounds and was able to shed 23. This has made her eligible for surgery.
