She weighed 270 kg. When she was first seen on television, she still weighed 270 kg. Today, she weighs 97 kg.
At 28, Gina Krasley lived in New Jersey with her mother, wife, sister, and other relatives.
Gina and her sister’s childhood was difficult: a complicated relationship with her father and the difficulties following her parents’ divorce led Gina to seek solace in food. By 19, her weight had reached 226 kg.
The climax came when family life became unbearable: Gina was left to fend for herself and her wife.
The move to Houston, the doctor’s strict demands, and numerous checkups became a test of willpower. Today, we see the results of her efforts in the before-and-after photos: 270 kg versus 97 kg.
The full article and before-and-after photos are in the first comment.
“Every morning I wake up in this terrible situation: my weight keeps me glued to this chair all day, and I hate it,” Gina confessed.
The turning point came when her sister was getting married and her wife, Beth, was forced to do everything alone. “My condition is seriously affecting our marriage. If I do nothing, it will only get worse, and I could die,” Gina said as she went to the doctor.
Moving to Houston was a real ordeal for her. Gina had to lose 50 pounds to get approval for the surgery. The doctor doesn’t believe in “magic bullets”; he demands that patients take the first step themselves.
Gina had several opportunities to demonstrate her determination. At the last minute, she got approval for the surgery, but her loss of weight control (plus 13 pounds the day before the operation) led to the revocation of the permit.
Another rigorous task for the doctor: to lose 75 pounds in three months.
Today we see the results of her efforts through before-and-after photos. Although there are few photos of Gina on social media, her wife, Beth, is convinced: this latest effort was the motivation she’d been lacking.
