In the Season 7 premiere of My 600-lb Life, the cameras follow Octavia Summar, a young woman in Kansas City who has been bed-bound for nearly a year due to obesity. The good news is she’s made the decision to make the physically and emotionally grueling trip to Houston, Texas to get help from renowned gastric bypass surgeon Dr. Nowzaradan. The bad news is during the process, according to TLC, she discovers that her best friend “is also her worst enabler.” Octavia will have to choose between old habits and a new life.
Just days before Octavia’s story is told on My 600-lb Life, a Facebook account under the name My 600-lb Life Octavia was opened to the public and according to Messenger, she is “very responsive” to messages. Prior to the show airing, the Facebook account for My 600-lb Life Octavia has less than 160 followers; we anticipate she will amass many more followers once the episode airs. My 600-lb Life airs Wednesdays at 8 pm on TLC, right before Family by the Ton.
