Skin Tight

Annette & Calisto (2x8)

Udgivelsesdato: Apr 19, 2017

Annette, once 650-lbs, lost over half of her body weight, but her excess skin is a painful reminder of years of an overeating addiction. As a young girl, Annette's siblings brought bags of junk food to keep her occupied in her room while they delved into drugs. Addictive behavior was a family norm, and by age nine Annette was habitually overeating. At 18, she weighed 500 pounds. Annette topped 650 at the time of her weight loss surgery. As the pounds came off, the stretched skin became excessive. It now drapes from her stomach, legs and arms - barring her from the active family life she dreams of. Callisto lost 250-lbs & became a model but the shame of her loose skin put her passion & marriage on hold. Calisto was an active child growing up on her family farm, but contact with pesticides caused her to be bed ridden for most of her teens. As a result of this illness, she gained hundreds of pounds. At 420 lbs she was miserable and hopeless. The birth of her niece gave her the inspiration to seek out gastric bypass surgery, so that she could one day get married and have a family of her own. Unfortunately, the rapid extreme weight loss left her body looking like a melted candle. Currently, she's living a lie, hiding the pounds of excess skin from her fiance. He wants to get married soon, but she's put the wedding on hold until she can get rid of the skin. Surgery is the only way she can get rid of the skin and, ultimately, walk down the aisle.
