I have battled with my weight all my life. Watching Dr. Now daily, I am able to start a diet with no medication. I listen carefully to what Dr. Now says.
I have Lipedema. After complex liposuction I felt thin as the only problems I had were gone. I gained 20+ kilos which for me, put me in morbid obesity again. Watching Dr. Now, has given me the impetus to lose weight realistically. I am 65.
Thank you Dr. Now.

Determined to save lives, ruel to be kind. He should be given an award. Some 9f these peopke he deals with are so rude and ignorant to him. Iblove it when yhey try to contradict or tell Dr Now how to do his job, he just smiles at them , now thats intelligence, they are obviuosly delusional, confronting a Dr with his experience snd education …omg LOL.
Bless u Dr Now the angels are on your side.
I love this man. Addictions are tough and require tough love. He is an Godsend for these individuals.
Fun fact.. his daughter Jennifer was my art 1 teacher at Lake Travis High School, she still teaches there 🙂
Hi sir. I just wanted to say thank you for all the help you do for people. You are a blessing
I am a advid watcher of his shows! If patients would just follow his wise and tested instructions, they would be able to live a longer,healthier life for themselves and their loved ones. It is especially sad to watch how much they depend on their loved ones to do EVERYTHING for them. It is hurtful to see the obese people constantly jamming everything they shouldn’t be eating,into their mouths..They are actually “abusing”their loved ones and ruining everyone’s lives,by putting all their loved ones on having to serve and care for even their most basic of survival needs!! It is very selfish. These people need to be on therapy for their own long term survival. I wish them best.
I love to watch 600-pound life. I love the doctor
I enjoy watching the 600 show. It’s sad that these people let themself become this over weight. I see most of them have deep psychological issues. Dr.Now helps them with diet, surgery and talk to a therapists. God bless you Dr.Now for helping these people to have a better life.
