MY 600-lb Life star Coliesa McMillan is out of the ICU and is recovering after she was placed on life support following weight loss surgery, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
On Coliesa’s March 2020 episode, Dr. Nowzaradan performed surgery on her after she began experiencing stomach pains.
Although she had not lost enough weight to be approved for the surgery, Dr. Now performed the operation because he feared she could have a life-threatening intestinal blockage.
After gastric sleeve surgery, Coliesa, who started the show at 643 pounds, lost 150 lbs.
But when the My 600-lb Life episode aired, her niece revealed over social media that she flatlined and is on life support.
Now, Coliesa’s daughter, Hannah, is exclusively revealing to The Sun that her mother is recovering!
Hannah said: “She’s doing fine she just has to learn how to do it all again. She was [in the ICU], but not anymore. She’s in the hospital still but she’s doing a lot better.”
But Hannah isn’t sure when her mother will be released, as she has to get therapy first.
Coliesa’s niece Blair explained she started hemorrhaging when a row of stitches from the procedure popped.
She then became septic, which is a life-threatening infection.
She was on a ventilator for two weeks and in a medically induced coma.

Blair then wrote in a chat group: “Coliesa coded (flat lined) this morning and has been put on life support. I will likely not be on for a while. We are trying our hardest to stay strong and hope for the best. Coliesa is in very critical condition and it is not looking good. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.”
Starcasm was the first to report on the medical crisis.
The brush with death comes after My 600-lb life star James King passed away on April 3.
The Sun exclusively revealed he died of kidney failure.
