Twenty-three-year-old Robert, who tips the scales at nearly 800 pounds, earned national attention when he made a desperate plea for Dr. Phil's help in a YouTube video that tallied more than a million views. With his call answered, see Robert make the arduous journey to Dr. Phil's stage with the assistance of two medical vans and five EMTs. Dr. Phil and Robert take a closer look at how he put on the weight, and what he needs to do to take it off. Is he really ready to make a change? Will Robert grab onto the lifeline Dr. Phil throws his way? And, Robert's mother, Nanette, shares her insight into her son's weight struggles. Has she unintentionally been enabling her son's condition? What role will she play in his recovery? Plus, log on to Dr. Phil.com after the show for a live video chat with Dr. Phil and Robert -- Friday, May 18 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT! Then, you may remember self-admitted adult baby, Brett, who stirred controversy after he and his girlfriend, Cat, first appeared on Dr. Phil. Are they still a couple? Then, meet Bill, who says he'd like to adopt Brett and be his new “daddy.” Will Brett accept his offer?
