Where Is Megan From 'My 600-lb Life' Now? She Reduced Her Weight to the 300-lb Range

In Season 8, Episode 14 of My 600-lb Life, which aired on TLC on April 1, 2020, viewers learned that 24-year-old Megan Davis's life was hanging by a thread. She had gotten "too big to [take] care of [herself] on [her] own" and was living with her enabling mom.

"When I eat, I feel a sense of comfort, love, a sense of fullness," Megan explained in the episode about her relationship with food, which she called "my constant best friend."

Megan's unhealthy relationship with food began at an early age, and around the time she was 5 or 6 years old, she recalls she weighed "about 200 pounds."

After admitting she "just can't continue to live like this, it's a living hell," Megan embarked on her weight loss journey, and made incredible progress. So, where is Megan now? Was she able to undergo weight loss surgery? Here's everything we know.

Let's rewind back to when we first met Megan on the My 600-lb Life. For Megan, who didn't even see her beloved father (he has since passed according to her Facebook account) because he lived 30-45 minutes away at a facility that was too far for her to drive to, making the two-day trip to Dr. Now's office filled her with inspiration. For the first time in years, she got to see a world outside of the confines of her mother's house, where she lived.

Dr. Now was surprised at her health when she arrived in his Houston office. "It's shocking to see so many medical issues in someone so young," he said of her many conditions, and the 12 medications she had to take daily. "Some of the medications you are on," he added at another visit, "typically people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are on."

Megan knew she couldn't go on with her health the way that it was. "I know my health is really bad now because the more I move, my breathing gets worse and worse," she said. What's more, she always dreamed of having a career as a pediatric nurse, but her weight was keeping her from having any job where she had to be on her feet.

Megan's journey was a very long and windy one. Slowly, she committed to taking responsibility for her food choices and managed to lose weight consistently, despite the fact that her mom wasn't changing her own unhealthy diet.

At the three-month mark, Megan lost 14 pounds. By the next check-up, a few months later, she weighed 558 pounds. "You still haven't made much of a change in your eating habits and that's the issue right now," Dr. Now scolded.

After Dr. Now told Megan she had to buckle down to get approved for surgery, she and her mom moved to Houston. By her next weigh-in, she lost 37 pounds, for a total of 84 pounds since the program started. "You've at least stayed consistent," Dr. Now commended.

The doctor and patient made a deal: "If you lose 30 more and get down to 500," Dr. Now offered, "to show us your body is healthy enough for weight-loss surgery, we will move ahead with that."

A year and one month after her initial visit with Dr. Now, Megan still wasn't quite ready to undergo surgery due to her health issues. However, in Season 9, Episode 5 of My 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now?, which aired on May 29, 2024, we learned that one year and six months into the program, Megan finally qualified for surgery. After Dr. Now performed a gastric sleeve on Megan, she decided a year and eight months into the program that she wanted to relocate back to Illinois.

Two years after her initial visit with Dr. Now, Megan dropped down to 368 pounds, reflecting a total weight loss of 237 pounds. Between the surgery and her improved eating and exercise habits, Megan was able to do more chores around the house, bike ride, and take her dogs for walks.

Despite showcasing her weight loss journey on TV, Megan keeps private these days. She hasn't updated her Facebook page since 2020, and doesn't appear to be active on any other social channels.

Overall, we're so proud of Megan's progress and attitude!
