Synopsis

Eight months ago, 23-year-old Robert Gibbs weighed close to 800 pounds, and fearing he would lose his life to obesity, made a desperate plea for Dr. Phil’s help in a YouTube video. It took two medical vans and five EMTs to get him to the show, and he had to be wheeled onstage. Dr. Phil arranged for Robert to go straight from the show to Wellspring Academy, a weight loss facility. Find out how he is doing today! Then, when Susanne first appeared on Dr. Phil, she weighed 541 pounds and boasted that she consumed up to 30,000 calories a day in hopes of becoming the world’s biggest bride by weighing 800 pounds by her June 2013 wedding. Dr. Phil warned the 33-year-old that she was on a dangerous path and offered her the opportunity to seek treatment at Wellspring at Structure House — how is she doing? See what happens when Dr. Phil pays her a surprise visit. And, hear from Susanne's family members. You won’t believe who she says is trying to sabotage her! Then, Dr. Phil surprises his nephew Scott, who has also been at Wellspring at Structure House for seven months and has lost more than 130 pounds. What does he say is the biggest key to his weight loss? And, how does he stay motivated?
