Meet Geno from My 600-lb Life
My 600-lb Life star Geno is 31 years old and hails from New Haven, Connecticut.

Geno lives with his mother and has a close-knit Italian family. He and his cousin, Nico, are best friends and said they were both “hefty” growing up.
Geno Dacunto’s story
Speaking on My 600-lb Life, Geno told Dr Now this is probably his “last chance” to get healthy.
Dr Now advised both Nico and Geno on what they should do to lose weight in order to be approved for bariatric surgery. By the end of the My 600-lb Life episode, Dr Now told both men they had lost enough weight to receive the surgery.
The cousins went into the operating room after eight (Geno) and nine (Nico) months of diet and exercise.
Geno said he and Nico were considering relocating to Texas to push on with their new healthy lifestyles. He added he was “super grateful to Dr Now.”
Where are Nico and Geno now?
Viewers of My 600-lb Life season 11 episode 1 may be wondering where Nico and Geno are now following their weight loss journeys.

The cousins appear to be as close as ever and can be seen pictured together on Nico’s Facebook page.
