Heavy

A&E's docudrama Heavy follows twenty-two individuals facing extreme 
life-threatening health consequences as a result of their obesity. 
The one-hour series follows two participants per episode documenting 
their incredible transformations during a six month treatment program.

Unlike other weight loss series, "Heavy" is not a competition or stunt, 
but is rooted in the incredible real life day-to-day journeys of the 
participants during a lengthy treatment program. In order to most 
accurately document these multiple weight loss journeys over the course 
of six months and present them individually in one hour, A&E sought out 
two different production companies to undertake the lengthy and ambitious 
filming process. The result is a never-before-seen look at the unique 
struggles faced by dangerously obese individuals who must learn to live 
healthier lifestyles and understand the root of their food addictions. 
Through their day-to-day struggle and the voices of their loved ones, 
viewers will see first hand the pain and self-doubt associated with a 
debilitating weight problem.

In the premiere episode, viewers meet Tom and Jodi, both 37 from Houston, 
TX, and learn why they are heavy and how they must reverse their 
lifestyles or die. Tom was the star of his high school football team, 
but when he dropped out his depression caused him to steadily gain weight. 
Now, at 5-foot-9 and 638 pounds, Tom suffers from a myriad of issues 
including sleep apnea, edema and the inability to sleep more than two hours. 
He is desperate to get his life back before he loses it permanently. 
Having recently suffered a stroke, Jodi, 5-foot-6 and 363 pounds, is at a 
critical juncture with her health. Her heaviness prevents her from 
keeping up with her husband and two children and from her favorite pastime, 
singing with her brothers in a band.
