Believe it or not, that surgery changed my life. For me, it’s been two years. It used to be on Halloween, the week before, I would start sweating until Christmas because I had huge problems not going and stealing their candy. I couldn’t be in bed and go downstairs. There would be four bags of candy. I couldn’t help myself.

She added,

I had a heart attack at 50," she said. "When I woke up, they said, 'You should have died.' Doctors said, 'We need you to lose 50 lbs. in the next year, but you can’t have surgery or anything in the next year because you’ve had a heart attack.”

She got her show when she was 35; she was over 200 lbs. At that time, before that, she was only 170. Due to which she got pressure and stress. She would have another heart attack if she didn’t have surgery. Finally, it was a good day that she survived.
