Are you or someone you love struggling at an extreme weight over 600Lbs?

BariatricPal is working with the producers of My 600 Lb Life and searching for individuals weighing 600 pounds or more who are ready to make a life change.

My 600-lb life follows the lives of real people suffering from super obesity that embark on a year-long journey to regain their health. If approved they receive gastric Bypass Surgery.

Each episode tells the powerful story of one super obese individual. Many are home-bound, relying on family care just to live day to day. They make the courageous decision to save their lives and change their world forever.

If this describes you or someone you know, then please send the following information to us via email to castingcalls@BariatricPal.com :

• Name
• Age
• Height
• Weight
• City, State
• Brief Bio
• Phone number

@Creekimp13To me it would be humiliating. To put myself out there and let everyone see me like that but would be willing to do it if i didnt have another way. Also i agree it is brave, and some are inspiring.

NO. 250lbs is not 650lbs. I can understand the emotions and comparisons, but 250lbs is still an independent person that can take care of themselves, not yelling from a bed for thier family to bring them more food and needing full time caregiving.

Don't freak out, I am not lacking in compassion. It is painful to watch the emotional and physical struggles that go with being 600 pounds, but 250 is not 650.

And is no one else offended by this casting call? I picture producers in a room plotting were they can find obese people. Ah ha! Bariatric pal! And then they post:

"Hey fatties: Are any of you fat enough for our show? Give us your stats"
