Meet Michael Blair
Hailing from Conroe, Texas, Michael Blair was weighing in at over 600 lbs when he visited Dr Now’s office for help.
He appeared on TLC’s My 600-lb Life season 9 episode 9.
When asked what the challenge with his eating habits were, Michael said that it’s the amount it takes to “sate” him.
The goal that he had going into the doctor’s office was to find a surgeon who would operate on him to “cut through the scar tissue” and perform surgery. Michael said that it was his “last chance” seeking help from Dr Now.
Michael’s agoraphobia
As well as dealing with his eating habits and weight, Michael also had agoraphobia.
Speaking of his eating habits, Michael said he was potentially using food as a defence mechanism because he was “so abused and tortured as a child, just in society”.
He said it’s “extremely hard” for him to be “out in public” because he “hates society”.
