However, the patients in this show receive help from Dr. Charles Procter, not Dr. Younan Nowzaradan. As per the teaser trailer, Dr. Procter is an accomplished bariatric surgeon.

All seven people are concerned with losing weight for different reasons. One man wishes it would mend his relationship with his ex, while a mother yearns to play outside with her son.

The first episode of this new show features Meghan and Vanessa, two friends who embark on weight-loss journeys together. Meghan weighs 496 pounds, so she requires oxygen to breathe.

According to Meghan, she's afraid for her life day after day due to her weight. The next step for her is bariatric surgery, and she intends to convince Vanessa to have the same procedure as well.

Dr. Procter warns Meghan that one twisted ankle can make her immobile for the rest of her life. Suddenly, Meghan finds herself crying and asking about what it's like to walk down the aisle and be a married woman.

Many people anticipate that "Too Large" can help them lose weight, as several participants in "My 600-Lb Life" achieved considerable success with their weight loss transformations.
