Is Retirement Looming For The TLC Star?
As much as Dr. Now loves his work, all good things must come to an end eventually. Due to his advanced age, many My 600-Lb Life fans worry he will retire from surgery soon.
Dr. Now’s son owns the production company that produces My 600-Lb Life, so hopefully they have a contingency plan in place. Even if the famous bariatric surgeon retires, plenty of viewers would love to see the show live on.
