What do My 600-Lb Life patients Brandi and Kandi look like now? Reality show My 600-Lb Life is the brainchild of TV producer Jonathan Nowzaradan (Shipping Wars) and has aired ten seasons since debuting on TLC in 2012. Each episode chronicles a year in the life of an obese patient as they attempt to bring down their weight to a healthy level with the help of Nowzaradan’s father Dr Younan Nowzaradan – a surgeon and weight loss expert affectionately known by those he helps as “Dr Now.”

Dr. Now’s methods range from putting his patients on strict diet and exercise programs to performing weight loss surgery and he’s helped well over 100 people improve their health over the course of the TLC reality show’s ten seasons. Sadly, a number of past My 600-Lb Life cast members have passed away since appearing in the series including season 6’s Rob Buchel and season 5’s James King who died in 2017 and 2020 respectively. However, the show has produced a lot of success stories too like twin sisters Brandi and Kandi Dreier who were the focus of My 600-Lb Life’s season 5 premiere in early 2017.

Brandi and Kandi’s episode revealed that the Vancouver, Washington natives turned to food to cope with their abusive childhood and had a combined weight of almost 1200 pounds when they started filming My 600-Lb Life. With the help of Dr Now, the sisters lost enough weight to qualify for gastric bypasses but while Brandi’s surgery went smoothly, Kandi went into cardiac arrest while under the knife and had to be put in a medically induced coma. Luckily, Kandi made a full recovery and the sisters are thriving after continuing their weight loss journey post-surgery.

Brandi and Kandi later appeared in the follow-up series My 600-Lb Life: Where Are They Now? which caught up with the sisters a little over a year after their original episode aired. The update revealed the twins had shed over 400 pounds collectively since their episode and were working toward getting approved for skin removal surgery and their goal weight of 180 pounds. During their follow-up episode on what's considered one of TLC's best shows, Brandi also discovered she was pregnant with her first child – a baby girl who was born in June 2018.

There haven’t been any further official My 600-Lb Life updates about how Brandi and Kandi are doing now, but an October 2020 report from Starcasm revealed Brandi and her husband had welcomed a second daughter. Kandi is also fairly active on social media and judging by the pictures posted, she’s living a happy and healthy life and is loving being an aunt to her nieces. All things considered, Brandi and Kandi are definitely one of the TLC show’s success stories.
