ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

After coping with severe childhood bullying and the tragic loss of both of her parents in her 30s, Brenda reached a peak weight of 488lbs. She was diagnosed with severe non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), an enlarged heart, and an enlarged spleen with doctors warning her that she wouldn't survive another five years.

Brenda chose to fight. She underwent Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) in Australia with Dr. Garth McLeod, went on to lose 310lbs (reaching a low of 176lbs, and completely resolved her fatty liver disease.

In this episode, she opens up about:

The Reality of High-Risk VSG: Spending 3 days in the ICU post-op and managing the slow transition phases of recovery.

Massive Skin Removal: Waking up from a 9 hour, 360 lower body lift and Fleur de Lis abdominoplasty that required over 800 sutures and removed 20lbs of hanging skin.

Confronting Bariatric Regain: Honestly discussing her recent 44lbs regain due to severe joint injuries (including a recent knee replacement) and how she is actively working with a supportive lifestyle coach to lose it.

Mental Healing: Overcoming deep "mom guilt," cutting off toxic energy, and finding healing by writing her newly published book, Weight Loss Saved My Life.
