In Season 2 of “My 600-lb Life,” we met native Texan James Jones.
His first weigh-in revealed he was a startling 728 pounds which he himself couldn’t fathom.
“They brought these big scales in.
I stepped on ‘em, and my first thought was, ‘Can’t be.
No way’” (viaStarcasm).
Luckily, he was up for the challenge and moved to Houston so that he could followDr.
Now’s strict program to lose the necessary weight to be considered a candidate for gastric bypass surgery.
In 2019, he successfully underwent a spinal fusion surgery after surviving a horrific car crash.
“I went off the road a year ago,” says Jones.
“And flipped my F350 back across a four-lane highway.
Broke my c2 [vertebra] and both collar bones” (viaStarcasm).
Hopefully, his weigh-ins are still reminding him of how impressively far he has come.
