My 600lb Life star who was left struggling to walk has transformed his life after his impressive weight loss.
Paul MacNeill lost a huge amount of weight on the show, which ended with him qualifying for weight loss surgery.
The season ten star took part on the show when he was 35-years-old and weighed 757lbs back when it aired in December 2021.
Paul asked for help from renowned bariatric surgeon, Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, AKA Dr. Now.
The doctor wanted Paul to move from Florida to Houston, Texas after he qualified for weight loss surgery so he would be closer to the hospital.
