On Season 7 of My 600-lb Life, the cameras follow Cillas and his fiancé Jessica who are traveling to Houston, Texas to meet gastric bypass surgeon Dr. Younan Nowzaradan. During the road trip, Cillas has a medical emergency in the minivan when his oxygen tank runs out. He was hoping to avoid pulling over and getting a hotel room because it’s not going to be easy to get him out of the minivan and into his wheelchair. So they call for EMTs.

Cillas does make it to Houston. At the hospital, with his three step-daughters around him, Cillas says “I’m extremely determined to make my family proud.” TLC is calling it “this season’s most dramatic transformation.” It better be! Fans on Facebook have been complaining about how depressing of a season it’s been. “Hoping today is the day someone will actually do it” is a common sentiment. New episodes of My 600-lb Life air Wednesdays at 8 pm on TLC.
