My 600-Lb Life: “She Asked Him Out — In the Exam Room.” A Female Patient Reportedly Hit on Dr. Now During Filming
Fans of My 600-Lb Life are used to drama in the exam room, but no one saw this coming.
In a moment that never aired on TV, a female patient reportedly asked Dr. Younan Nowzaradan on a date—and the way he handled it left both staff and fans speechless.
What happened next? It depends on who you ask.
“She Said He Was Her Dream Man.”
According to a former crew member, the incident occurred during a follow-up consultation. The patient, who had lost over 100 pounds, reportedly grew emotionally attached to Dr. Now—thanking him for “saving her life” and calling him “the only man who’s ever truly cared.”

At the end of the visit, she allegedly smiled and asked if he’d like to grab dinner sometime—not as doctor and patient, but as “two people who understand each other.”
Some staff laughed it off. Others were stunned.
Dr. Now’s Reaction? Classic… and Cold.
True to form, Dr. Now didn’t flinch. One witness claimed he responded dryly: “I’m your surgeon, not your date.” Another insider said he walked out of the room without saying anything more.
Fans who heard the story later were split. Some said it was inappropriate for a patient to cross that line, while others admired her honesty.
A few even joked: “Who wouldn’t fall for Dr. Now after he helps you drop 200 pounds?”
A One-Time Incident… Or Not?
It’s unclear if this was the only time such a thing happened. With the level of emotional vulnerability in the show, some fans believe other patients may have developed similar feelings—just less boldly.
Dr. Now has never commented publicly on the story. But one thing’s for sure:
He’s all business—and apparently, not easily flattered.
