Meghan Crumpler’s Journey on 1000-Lb Best Friends: From Star to Villain?
When Meghan Crumpler first appeared on Too Large, she was nearing 500 lbs. Since undergoing bariatric surgery and later starring in 1000-Lb Best Friends, she has achieved significant weight loss. However, her progress has stalled around the 300 lb mark for the past few years.
In the current season, Meghan is seeking revision surgery from Dr. Procter. His condition for proceeding is that she must lose an additional 30-40 lbs. Many viewers are skeptical, believing that she may need more support to reach this goal.
Fans Urge Meghan to Seek Additional Help
While Meghan was once a beloved figure on 1000-Lb Best Friends, some viewers now perceive her as the show’s antagonist. Many believe that more than just weight loss is needed for her to improve her situation.
“One Redditor commented, ‘Meghan needs more help than just losing weight. She’s panicking over the 30-40 pounds before Dr. Procter will consider revision surgery. She’s quickly climbing the ranks of the most frustrating people on reality TV.’”
Several other fans echoed this sentiment, expressing concern for Meghan’s mental health and suggesting that therapy might be crucial for her success. This aligns with Dr. Now’s approach on My 600-Lb Life, where he often recommends psychological support for his patients.
Other Reddit comments included:
- “I can’t believe he’d even consider giving her another surgery.”
- “Her reaction was over the top. What Dr. Procter is asking isn’t unreasonable; she just seems unwilling to put in the effort. I doubt she’ll meet that goal, and I can’t wait to hear her excuses.”
- “If it were Dr. Now, she’d probably need to lose 60 lbs! She should be grateful!”
- “I’d love to see Dr. Procter’s reaction when he watches this episode and hears her disrespectful comments. She’s being quite rude, and it’s likely she won’t lose even 5 lbs, let alone 50.”
Criticism of Meghan’s Behavior
In addition to her disrespectful treatment of Dr. Procter, viewers are also frustrated with how Meghan interacts with her friend, Vannessa Cross. Many fans are starting to question whether reality television is the right path for her.
As Meghan navigates her journey, it remains to be seen how she will address these challenges and whether she can reclaim her positive image on the show.
