Whatever Happened To Bethany Stout From My 600-Lb Life?

When Bethany Stout's episode ended, she became the second "My 600-Lb Life" cast member since Season 7's Jeanne Covey to decide to end treatment with Dr. Now. She got a lot of criticism for voluntarily leaving the program, which she addressed on her Facebook page Bariatric Mama, writing "I am truly sorry if my episode made you angry. I had no control over what they [chose] to show. I had a positive experience with Dr. Now and up until this moment enjoyed the process. I lost weight and I feel good about where I am now."
Despite quitting Dr. Now's program, Bethany never gave up on her goals and continued posting photos showing her weight loss until her last post in 2022. While she shut down her website, bariatricmama.com, in 2020, her Facebook and Instagram posts have signified that she's happier and healthier than ever, and taking up crocheting as a way to keep herself busy when she wanted to eat, and then selling her crochet items to raise money for skin removal surgery. We do hope that "My 600-Lb Life" airs her "Where Are They Now" episode soon, so the world can see the changes Bethany made.
