Scott Bagwill Shines as the Newest Star on 1000-Lb Best Friends
Scott Bagwill has joined the cast of TLC’s 1000-Lb Best Friends, bringing his unique perspective as the only male member of the friend group. Like his co-stars, Scott has faced significant weight-related challenges, and he recently revealed some exciting news about his journey.
A New Path to Wellness
Last week, Scott shared with his fellow cast members that he had received approval from Dr. Procter for bariatric surgery. This announcement has sparked curiosity among fans about how well Scott is adhering to his new, healthier lifestyle.
In an exclusive interview, Scott opened up about his struggles with specific food triggers, particularly his love for string cheese. He admitted to consuming entire packs at once, which posed a major hurdle in his weight loss efforts. However, his determination has led him to confront these challenges head-on, ultimately qualifying for the surgery.
Visible Progress
While fans have not yet seen the results of Scott’s surgery on-screen, promotional materials for the series showcase a noticeably slimmer version of him. Viewers are eager to follow along as his weight loss journey unfolds.
Commitment to Health
Due to non-disclosure agreements with TLC, Scott cannot disclose specific weight loss figures just yet. However, recent interviews suggest he is making significant progress. Scott recently appeared on the health podcast BariAftercare, where he discussed life post-surgery.
In a clip shared by Dr. Connie Stapleton on Instagram, she praised Scott for his commitment to maintaining his health. “Without an aftercare program and follow-up on your mental, physical, and nutritional health, it’s only a matter of time before a person regains their weight,” Dr. Stapleton emphasized, nodding toward Scott’s proactive approach.
Support from Fans
Despite the challenges Scott has faced on 1000-Lb Best Friends, the support from viewers has been overwhelming. Comments from fans include:
- “Wow! Look at you! You look amazing! I love that they added you to the show. You guys are fun to watch!”
- “Omg Scott! Look at you 🙌🏽👏🏽”
- “Scott, you’re looking great!”
As Scott continues his journey, fans are rooting for his success and eagerly awaiting more updates on his transformation.
