My 600-Lb Life: Samantha Mason Shares Health Update After Major Surgery

Samantha recently took to TikTok to share a clip of herself on her way to the surgeon. According to the My 600-Lb Life star, she’s on her way to an appointment, adding that she’s taking her “hips” off in six days. She continued, “If I make it through it to the other side of it, I’ll let yall know how it went.”

It seems Samantha is getting rid of the remaining mass on her hips, which has been making it difficult for her to move. She appeared on the show at over 800 pounds, making her one of Dr. Now’s heaviest patients ever. Her weight loss success comes with a price, as she’s now dealing with other complications. It’s also noticeable in some of her videos that she runs out of breath fast, resulting in her slow pace of speaking.

Samantha later uploaded another video, saying that she’s still healing from “the thing.” She didn’t specifically state what it was, but it’s most likely related to her hips. She wrote, “I’m still here healing from the thing. I’ll probably go back to my temporary home tomorrow. I have tried to start videos and TikToks and anything and everything and I just cry. Lol. Makes zero sense why… well no. I’m wrong. It makes lots of sense why, but it feels like I’m making it up.”

Samantha’s Life In A Nursing Home

Samantha has been documenting her life in a nursing home for months. It’s a clear indication that she still struggles to handle herself alone. Earlier this year, the My 600-Lb Life star left many fans worried after uploading a video where she kept saying, “It’s really bad.” However, she was actually celebrating her newest achievement.

She revealed that she’s now down to 373 pounds, and she couldn’t comprehend that she came from over a thousand pounds down to 300 pounds. Samantha even said that she’s eager to wash herself after wearing the same shirt for a week. Regardless, she remains positive, and it’s clear that her journey is only getting better today.

TLC has yet to bring Samantha back for a special episode. But it’s most likely not going to happen due to her previous claims that the network was “exploiting” severely obese people, turning them into comedic content.
