On My 600-lb Life, Justin and Steven Assanti (aka the villainous Assanti Brothers) were featured with Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, and there are many facts about the famous siblings' lives after the show. It's been seven years since their television appearance in My 600-lb Life season 5, episode 13. They have since moved on with their lives, and curiosity surrounds how they've fared.

Dr. Now puts his patients, like Justin and Steven, on strict weight-loss regimens that test their willpower. The diets ensure that they will be viable candidates for the surgery. Before qualifying for a bariatric procedure, Steven got kicked out of the hospital due to substance abuse issues. He also allegedly verbally abused medical staff. Justin left the hospital but stuck to his routine and eventually qualified for the operation. Steven's infamous because he's considered an unsavory character, but Justin is much more reserved on the show.
