A nearly 600lb woman who relied on her lesbian partner to physically care for her has shed a whopping 348lbs after having gastric bypass surgery and the excess skin that hung off of her thigh removed.
June McCamey, 45, from League, Texas, documented her weight loss story on the TLC special My 600lb Life: Where Are They Now? after she appeared on the reality series last year.
On Wednesday night's special, it was revealed that June went from 590lbs to 242lbs over the course of two years, using her desire to have her excess skin removed from her body as motivation to shed weight.

When June first appeared on the show, she relied almost entirely on her partner Sadi Gregory to do everything physical for her - including bathing her.
'When we first got together, I was much more mobile. Now I feel like she is taking care of me like I'm a kid,' she explained at the time.
Sadi admitted that when she first met June, she was attracted to her confidence and the fact that she 'liked to get out'. However, June's weight started to 'restrict her from doing a lot'.
But despite expressing her concerns about her partner's steadily increasing weight, Sadi didn't stop June from indulging in fast food on a daily basis - and even drove to go and pick up the fat-laden meals for her two or three times a day.

Emotional needs: After her gastric bypass, June sought help from a therapist to help her deal with the tragic death of her 17-year-old son, Kenneth
June packed on the weight during all four of her pregnancies; however, it was after the death of her 17-year-old son Kenneth five years ago that her weight really started to get out of control.
The mom knew Kenneth would be devastated by the state of her health, and she eventually consulted with weight loss expert Dr. Younan Nowzaradan in Houston, Texas, revealing that she had suffered a stroke in 2010 and a heart attack in 2011.
Dr. Nowzaradan admitted the mother-of-four to hospital to monitor her health before sending her home to lose some weight by herself before she could qualify for surgery.
After the operation June continued to struggle with her weight, and at one point she even gained 20lbs.

And it wasn't just the physical ailments taking a toll on June's recovery. The devoted mother also realized that her ongoing sadness over the tragic death of her son was preventing her from really being able to embrace her new lifestyle because she was still living in the past, in the hopes of preserving his memory.
At the recommendation of her doctors, June decided to see a therapist, which allowed her to finally mourn her son without any guilt.
