Eight months ago, 23-year-old Robert Gibbs weighed nearly 800 pounds and made a desperate plea for help in a viral YouTube video.

It took two medical vans and five EMTs to get him to Dr. Phil’s stage, where he was sent straight to Wellspring Academy to begin his weight-loss journey. Now, he returns—has he turned his life around?

Then, Susanne, who once aimed to become the world’s biggest bride at 800 pounds, was warned by Dr. Phil that she was on a dangerous path. Five months after agreeing to treatment, Dr. Phil pays her a surprise visit. Is she making progress, or is someone sabotaging her efforts?

Plus, Dr. Phil’s nephew, Scott, has spent seven months at the same weight-loss center and lost over 130 pounds. What’s his secret to success, and how does he stay motivated? Don’t miss these powerful updates!
