Brenda was a hard working school teacher with a husband that loved her. However, childhood wounds and emotional eating caused her weight to rage out of control. She eventually reached 429 pounds. Together with her husband Carl, they both underwent gastric bypass surgery to shed the weight. Now because of their excess skin, Brenda is suffering from tragically-low self-esteem and the insecurities have pushed their marriage to the edge of divorce. If she doesn't get the skin removed, she'll never be able feel good about herself and give her marriage a fighting chance. Mellisa's weight was getting out of control and affecting not only her health, but her ability to parent. It came to a breaking point when she tried to take her daughter down a slide at the local park and got stuck in front of all her neighbors. She decided to try gastric surgery in the hopes of getting her life back. Mellisa lost a ton of weight and felt great, but soon realized that her husband was no longer attracted to her because she was slim. She found herself divorced and covered in the excess skin associated with extreme weight loss. Currently, she's doing the best she can raising two daughters and hoping to pursue her dream of singing on stage. But the excess skin makes her feel horribly insecure and she's worried that her anxiety will affect her kids.
