Where Is Holly Hager From Season 7 Now?

As mentioned previously, before appearing on "My 600-Lb Life," Holly Hager's weight fluctuated. She reveals on the show that she was sexually assaulted at the age of 16, which resulted in her developing post-traumatic stress disorder and turning to food as a means of coping with her trauma. At the age of 30, her weight reached approximately 600 pounds, and between this and her deteriorating relationship with her first husband, she knew it was time to make some changes. Thus, she split from him and got weight loss surgery.

"I wanted to take my life back and finally lose all the weight, so I got my stomach stapled," she explained during an interview, recalling that for about a year after the surgery, she started to see progress in her weight loss journey. She made it down to 398 pounds at age 32, but unfortunately, that's as far as she got. Hager's weight climbed into the 500s by the time she was 33 (via TLC on YouTube). While this was likely an incredibly disheartening experience, she didn't give up. She got herself back on track with the help of "My 600-Lb Life" staple and reality TV adventurer Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, getting her weight back into a range she's happy with.

Holly Hager has lived an immensely tough life, overcoming one obstacle after another. It's good to know that she's on the upswing.
