TLC’s My 600-Lb. Life continues to chronicle the struggles of individuals battling morbid obesity, and this week’s episode, “Karen’s Journey,” presents a particularly difficult case. Karen’s weight has not only impacted her physical health but has also led to severe agoraphobia, a fear of leaving her home.

This fear creates a significant hurdle in Karen’s quest for weight loss surgery. Dr. Now’s program requires patients to demonstrate a commitment to lifestyle changes, and Karen’s inability to even leave her house poses a major challenge. The episode follows Karen as she confronts her fear, grappling with the psychological barriers that have kept her confined for so long.
