Lisa Ebberson appeared on the TLC series My 600-lb Life season 10 and has already become one of the show's most infamous patients. Producer Jonathan Nowzaradan created the TLC reality series, which has aired 11 seasons since its debut in 2012. Each episode follows the weight-loss journey of a morbidly obese patient as they take steps to reach their weight-loss goal with the help of Dr. Younan “Now” Nowzaradan, a bariatric surgeon and weight loss expert.

Lisa weighed over 630 pounds when she first appeared on My 600-Lb Life season 10 in 2021. Lisa had been bedridden for the past few years, with a doctor even stating her bones could break if she attempted to stand. Lisa’s reasoning for seeking out Dr. Now helped to provide a better relationship with her children and grandchildren. While on the show, Dr. Now recommended several physical therapists and nutritionists for Lisa to help her with her mobility and weight issues. However, instead of listening to the medical officials, Lisa was notorious for throwing tantrums and being rude to those who tried to help her.

Lisa Lost One Of Her Biggest Supporters

Unfortunately, Lisa’s time on My 600-lb Life would take a tragic turn for the worse when her boyfriend and caregiver, Randy, passed away due to COVID-19 during filming. While Randy was known to enable Lisa’s unhealthy eating habits during their relationship, he was also one of her biggest supporters; he cooked, bathed, and cared for her needs. With Randy's passing came a massive change in Lisa’s life and weight-loss journey, with Lisa receiving a new caretaker and dietitian after his death. While in a medical center for COVID-19, Lisa lost over 80 pounds but would later quit Dr. Now’s weight-loss program shortly after leaving the center.

Lisa Opened Up About Negative Experiences During Filming

Since her time on the show, Lisa has been very outspoken about her negative experiences while filming My 600-lb Life. She claims she received a lot of hate from online trolls. Lisa chatted exclusively with Soap Dirt about her terrible experience on the TLC series, accusing producers of fabricating many of her storylines and not caring about the patients they were filming.

Lisa detailed how the producers even caused her to go to the hospital after turning off her oxygen machine and urine capture device because they were making “too much noise.” She said, “I use a Pure Wick – they made me turn it off, and it shut my kidneys down. It was making too much noise for the cameras.” Lisa continued, sharing, “I was in [the hospital] for like a month trying to get my kidneys back up. I still have side effects.”
