Kylie & Anna (2x6)


Udgivelsesdato: Apr 05, 2017

Kylie, who reached 321-lbs by age 18, had weight loss surgery leaving her with a life-threatening infection. Now she's 21 & 150-lbs lighter, but she's covered in excess skin. Kylie was diagnosed with a slow metabolism as a child and did everything she could to try and keep the weight off. Sadly, nothing worked. By the time she was in high school, Kylie was well over 300 lbs and totally hopeless. She feared that life would pass her by, so as soon as she turned 18, she signed up for gastric bypass surgery. Her parents were skeptical, but reluctantly supported her. Tragically, the surgery that was supposed to save her almost killed her. After a 16 month fight for her life, she lost the weight. But now she's covered in excess skin and feeling worse than ever. She's in her early 20s and basically has no life because of how much she has to cover herself. Kylie is willing to risk more surgeries to get the skin removed. However, the thought of their daughter going under the knife again is terrifying for her parents. Anna lost 250-lbs, but fears her extra skin makes her look unprofessional. Anna's Dominican family grew up eating lots of carbs, but her weight gain came from her reclusive lifestyle. She hadn't stepped on a scale for years until she went to college and finally realized she had ballooned to 320 pounds at 21 years old. After weight loss surgery, she had fallen down to 175 pounds, but quickly realized her skin was sagging heavily and it wasn't going away. She found she was just as uncomfortable to be in public as when she was at her heaviest, and she worries that the anxiety will affect her graduating from law school. She can't concentrate at school, her relationship with her sister is deteriorating, and she feels like her youth is wasting away behind closed doors. If she doesn't get the skin removed, she'll never be comfortable in life or achieve her dream of becoming a respectable lawyer.
