My 600-Lb. Life Latonya Pottain 2023 Update: Where Is She Now?
Tonight’s episode of My 600-Lb. Life introduces fans to Latonya Pottain and the end of the episode leaves fans wondering if there is a 2023 update on where she is now. Has she made any progress with her weight loss? Did she ever get surgery? Fans have lots of questions.
My 600-Lb. Life: Meet Latonya Pottain
Hailing from Shreveport, LA, Latonya Pottain lives just a few hours away from Dr. Now’s office. So, it wasn’t too much of a problem for her to get into her vehicle and drive four hours to see the doctor. During the episode, she admitted this wasn’t the first time she’d seen the TLC doctor. Turns out, this My 600-Lb. Life star had an appointment with the doctor five years ago. Her weight was in the 480s at the time. Shortly after this appointment, she ended up in a motorized wheelchair. And, she spent the next five years gaining weight.
During most of the episode, Latonya Pottain tettered between 620 and 640 pounds. The only time the TLC star lost weight was when Dr. Now kept her in the hospital because he was concerned about her weight. Latonya Pottain was able to lose some weight while in the hospital because they held her to Dr. Now’s diet. Latonya Pottain argued with the doctor that the hospital food was hardly edible.
After leaving the hospital and returning home, Latonya Pottain appeared to have turned things around as she started exercising a little more and was making some changes to her diet. Unfortunately, it appears as if she was still cheating when the cameras were not rolling as she gained five pounds after leaving the hospital.
Ultimately, Dr. Now decided there was no point in her coming back to see him again until she started to take the diet seriously there was nothing he could do to help her.
2023 Update: Where Is She Now?
Unfortunately, Latonya Pottain only lost weight during her time with Dr. Now when she was forced to do so. She was unable to lose any weight on her own and the TLC doctor gave up on her. Sadly, there really aren’t many pictures on her profile that are very recent. She, however, did post a new profile picture a few days ago. It, however, was just a selfie with heavy filters on it. While she looked happy, it did not appear as if she’s lost a lot more weight since her time on the show.
Latonya did give fans an update on where she is now and how she’s doing while sharing a trailer of her episode. She owned the fact that she was on the show and wasn’t a success story. And, she admitted she still hadn’t met her goal.
She penned: “My episode airs Feb 8,2023 my story will help other people no I have not reached my goal but I’m working on me please keep all negative comments to ur self if u know me then u know I come with that That will blow back so if u wanna do anything for me say a positive prayer and thank u and advance.”
