I came here to say this. 😂
He’s can be so mean but I agree with his approach, patients need to be told the truth and they need to be honest with themselves and the drs. Especially when they are at such a risk of dying because their bodies will give up soon. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
These patients’ lives can depend on them following the doctor’s instructions. Some patients don’t want to admit how serious their health conditions are.
Some straightforward talk might help them. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I was always shocked Amy got the surgery so quick, 25lbs in two months, which she quickly showed she wasn’t ready for by eating solid food right after. I’ve always wondered if she had to go through the other steps like her siblings (meeting with specialists, quitting smoking, etc…) it’s highly edited so it’s possible it just seemed hers was fast. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I agree with you. Different patients have different needs, and part of good bedside manner is assessing what someone needs.
Tough love is not a good approach for everyone. Dr Proctor would take that approach, but it only seemed to create feeling of shame for Tammy, which isn’t helpful to her. And then he basically said she was wasting his time and dropped her as a patient. That is so unhelpful.
Dr Smith was such a better fit for Tammy. He was patient, and honest about the need for her to lose weight and the urgency, but never acted like she was wasting his time when she didn’t meet their goals. He told her multiple times he would stick with her and continue seeing her as a patient whenever she was ready to commit. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |

He always seem irritated to be doing the show like he had better things to do, which he most likely does but it’s arrogant. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I don’t think he’s a bad doctor. I think you should always look around until you get a doctor that fits you. His ways are great for someone else but wasn’t the fit for Tammy. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |

Tammy was pushing the limits of her body and was close to dying. Unfortunately, she wasn’t ready to make changes and no behavior from Dr Proctor was going to change that. He was trying to get through to her the seriousness of her situation. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I think that both of these doctors are fabulous. They have different styles but both are direct about what needs to be done. Neither fat shames non compliant patients, but both are specific of what the steps are required for moving forward with them. It’s the patient’s option to try a different path with a different doctor. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
That's fair. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I feel like you'd be frustrated or annoyed, too, if your patients weren't doing any work or were outright sabotaging themselves and getting worse. It would at some point feel like a waste of your time. And although it would be natural to feel that way, Dr Procter didn't even express anything like that. There were many times I could see him either trying to bite his tongue or phrase something in the gentlest way possible, and I could definitely intuit his frustration, but his frustration wasn't overt, misplaced, or inappropriate. He did a better job being kind and respectful than I could have. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |
A friend of mine went to Dr Proctor for her gastric sleeve and she loved him. She said he's really really nice. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |
Lol I just watched a clip of him saying that. Love dr. Now

If you think dr Procter is an asshole, you should watch the dr from my 600 lb life. Now that guy I would get if you complained about. Maybe I’m only just on season 2 but dr proctor has crazy compassion. Personally I don’t think his approach is harsh.
imagine being a doctor and holding in your frustration when your patients continuously lie and make excuses about not losing enough weight or gaining weight or following the instructions that are often times very serious. He has been civil and had expressed his disappointment in professional and kind manners even when you can visibly see his frustration. As someone who’s suffered from severe “tough love” to the point where it’s verbal abuse, dr proctor is giving at most a kind tough love at times.
I do wish he tried better at understanding Tammy’s (and amy’s) source of eating trauma from the get-go and referred her to a regular weekly therapist, but I don’t think that negates from him having empathy towards his patients. I think Tammy didn’t do well (once again, just started season 2 ep 2 to be specific, so if I’m saying something not up to date then that may be why) because she straight up was not mentally ready and did not have it all in her to actually commit. Food addiction is hard. Weight loss is hard. Obviously I can only imagine what the sisters have gone through mentally to get to the point where they were at when they started this show. I am overweight and have been since a teen, but not obese, so while I can empathize and imagine what it’s like to be in their shoes, obviously I am not them.
But imo to say he is an asshole is 100% reaching. I think dr Procter definitely has had enough of Tammy’s antics. Tammy’s trauma and mental health is not an excuse for the way she has been treating others and blatantly lying and acting like she has no idea why she hasn’t been losing weight. If dr proctor drops her (which I’m assuming he does) it won’t be because she’s going up and down in weight. It’s because I would be absolutely fucking tired of patients wasting my time and straight up lying to me after time and time again and being irresponsible.
Edit: LMAO just after I typed this up he “dropped” her as a patient. That was literally the most compassionate and professional thing he could’ve done and said. He has a right to be disappointed and annoyed but boy did he not show it. He is literally holding an impromptu intervention with the whole family at the appt about how he is worried that Tammy will straight up die. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |
I appreciate this comment a lot. I don't really remember the early seasons as well, and didn't remember the intervention at all.
I think it's him not trying to understand the source of the addiction/behavior and the fact that he did not refer them to MH care, but that could have also been edited out. Plus, Tammy probs wouldn't have utilized those referrals anyway.
But you (and others who have brought this up) are right that at some point if his patients aren't taking the process as seriously as he needs them to/they need to in order to get where they're trying to go it does end up wasting his time and taking away opportunities from those who are ready to. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |
That's cool to know! I do recognize the show is heavily edited and doesn't give everyone a fair run of it. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |
I absolutely would be frustrated too.
I think my response to this also comes from a place of having dealt with my own addiction struggles in the past and recognizing how little the tough love approaches ever helped me, how they pushed me deeper into shame and guilt driven behaviors, and I empathize with Tammy in that regard.
It's not Drs responsibility to do the hand holding, and also recognize how that from Dr Smith and him sticking by her until she did get her shit together to commit did help her. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |
Dr. Now would really throw you for a loop. But, I’ve got to be honest, he’s my favorite of all the doctors. His straight forward manner is definitely something I think he has learned over the years works for his patients. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |
TBH, everyone talking about him is making me deeply curious to check it out | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |

I am in full agreement with you, Correct\_Ant8859. I have not seen Dr. Proctor be "harsh" in any way. My 600lbs life is very different, you are right about that. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-29-07 |
Also in agreement. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-29-07 |
Dr. Proctor is a no-nonsense guy. I'm sure he's seen/heard all the excuses, and just wants to cut through the BS. I like the guy. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-31-07 |
I love dr Procter , he’s not gonna baby your ass while you continue to kill yourself and that’s what a lot of these food addicts need , he’s also on 1000 lb best friends and I truly believe if it wasn’t for his no bullshit approach Vanessa would never have lost as much weight as she did, I love his approach, that’s the problem today ppl want to be coddled even when they are actively killing themselves, edited to add the whole reason they switched dr Procter out was because he wasn’t local and Tammy wasn’t losing anything she wasn’t even trying and the travel was dangerous for her at such a long distance , dr Smith also fired Tammy as a client before she went into rehab , she just wasn’t committed to losing weight and it wouldn’t have mattered who her doctor was at that time | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-01-08 |
He’s the doctor on 1000 lb best friends so he wasn’t irritated by the show , I never saw any irritation but if there was it was definitely Tammy’s endless excuses and Amy going directly against medical advice and getting pregnant right after bypass surgery | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-01-08 |
I like them both. Neither are as brutal as Dr Nowzaradan. I think Procter has a slightly more "tough love" approach than Smith. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-01-08 |

Dr Now is my favourite Dr. I could watch him all day. IMO he gives them exactly what they need because they already have so many people enabling their eating habits and coddling to them. Only loosing 10/20 pounds a month means they are still eating anywhere from 6000-8000 calories a day which is insane. I love that DR Now makes them loose over 100lb pounds to show they are actually ready for the change especially when if they stuck to their diets they could easily loose that in 1 or 2 months! | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-04-08 |
You’re trying to tell me that it’s easier to walk to a pizza than a salad? | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-04-08 |
I think Dr P was a good doc but he was too far zesty from them to be able to give her the right care. Only seeing her every 3 or 4 months is no good when someone needs motivation to lose weight. Her being a spoiled assed child didn't help the matter either 😆 | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-05-08 |
I love the characters and wanna see more of their drama (it is drama city on there!), but I tried rewatching it and there is So. Much. Yelling. Like full-on scream-yell eruptions. So that gets old.

So disgusting. The lack of personal hygiene by this whole family is far beyond horrible.
