TLC was running a series entitled Half Ton Mom. Renee Williams was over 900 pounds. She was heavy as a child and then had a car accident as an adult that caused her to gain more weight since her mobility was limited. I don’t think any amount of diet products would have helped at this point. Instead, Renee opted to have gastric bypass surgery to help her lose weight. Unfortunately, she died 12 days later of a heart attack and left behind two small children.

It is too bad that she didn’t get help before she reached 900 pounds.
