Where Is Mercedes Cephas From My 600-Lb Life Now?

Mercedes Cephas wanted easy solutions during her time on "My 600-lb Life." Even though Dr. Now refused to move forward with the surgery after failing to lose enough weight, she persevered and launched a GoFundMe to try to raise the money to pay for it herself. Sadly, she fell drastically short of her goal, only raising $175 out of a goal of $10,000. 

While most of the information is no longer accessible on the page, Monsters & Critics offers this snippet of the pitch she made on her site: "I'm just so tired of not being able to be a regular mom like not being able to take my kids to the park or to just have family time with them or take them out or go to school plays or parent teacher conferences or to just check up on them at school."

Outside of that, it's hard to tell what Cephas is up to these days. She has Facebook and Instagram profiles, but she's not particularly active. Her last post on Facebook was in July 2020, when she updated her profile picture. As a result, it's impossible to say if she turned around on Dr. Now's advice or if she's still found excuses to avoid eating healthier. 

Hopefully, more updates materialize shortly.
