Medication can help us live a happier life.

The surgery will always be a huge part of my life. I'm going to need to help people with weight problems for the rest of my life so that I can maintain my weight.

I decided that it's either, you know, if I want to have children, have a family and - and live a long life, I've got to make some real, real serious changes.

Do I wish I could retire? Sure, but that's not life.

The most important thing I think we need to remember is that we're a work in progress. Do not be ashamed or afraid to ask for help. That's what I did. I asked for help.

I'm a working mother... You try to pay the bills, you try to keep your life going and there's pressure.
