Sean Milliken’s Early Life and Weight Gain

Sean Milliken was born on September 13, 1989, in Sacramento, California, USA. He was American and belonged to the White Ethnicity. His father was Matt Milliken and his mother was Renne Milliken.

Often, excessive weight gain in individuals stems from their habits, cravings, and sometimes, the influence of loved ones. For Sean, his tumultuous childhood played a significant role. From a young age, Sean developed a love for food.

His relationship with his father, Matt Milliken, was strained, and the divorce of his parents when he was just 10 years old added to his emotional burden. Blaming himself for the separation, Sean turned to food as a coping mechanism. As he grew older, his weight continued to skyrocket. After a fall in high school, Sean became bedbound, further exacerbating his condition. Living with his mother, Renee, she took care of everything.

By the time he reached 26, Sean found himself weighing a staggering 919 pounds, confined to his bed. Recognizing the urgent need for assistance, he and his mother embarked on a journey from California to Texas to seek help from Dr. Now.

My 600 lb life transformation

Sean first debuted in “My 600-lb Life” in 2016 and was the largest participant on the show to date. His initial weight was 919.1 lbs. In the hospital, Sean was kept under a strict diet and was cut down to 800 calories a day. Despite these efforts, his weight initially increased to 1003 lbs, partly due to his mother’s reluctance to prevent him from consuming junk food.

To have surgery Sean had to go below 637 lbs. At this stage, it was a Hercules task. Nevertheless, with great determination and help from a psychiatrist, Sean achieved 636 lbs.

Then he had successful bypass surgery. After rehabilitation, Sean weighed 582 lbs which was 420 lbs down from his peak weight. In 12 months with Dr. Now, his final weight was 548 lbs.

Throughout his time on the show, Sean faced numerous health issues. He struggled with severe swelling in his left leg and required oxygen to assist his breathing due to his size.

How did we lose Sean Milliken, cause of death?

After surgery, Sean struggled to keep up with the diet and physical therapy. His weight fluctuated continuously, and it was increasing rather than decreasing.

Also, his mother Renne passed away on Feb 17, 2017, from kidney failure. As Sean was by himself, proper care and precautions on a diet were not seriously taken.

It led Sean to gain more weight and deteriorate health. Sean visited Dr. Now several times and eventually, the doctor shifted him to a facility center, for proper medication. Nearly, two weeks later, Sean Milliken passed away.

Sean passed away at the age of 29 on February 17, 2019, due to complications from the infection which led to a heart attack. This death marks another cast tragedy from “My 600-lb Life.” Lisa Fleming, Robert Buchel, James L.B Bonner, Henry Foots who passed away were also participants in the show.
