TLC’s “My 600-Lb. Life” returns with another sobering look at the struggles of morbid obesity. This week, the series turns its lens on Gary, a man whose weight has rendered him completely bedridden, utterly dependent on his mother and caretakers for his every need. His story unfolds in a two-hour episode airing Wednesday, January 22, at 8:00 PM.

Gary’s journey, like those of so many featured on this show, is fraught with challenges. The episode will chronicle his attempt to reach Houston and the care of weight-loss surgeon Dr. Nowzaradan. However, even getting to Houston presents a monumental task, given Gary’s current condition. And, of course, the ever-present Dr. Now will insist on seeing some serious commitment to changing his eating habits before agreeing to perform any surgery.
