Yes! I was shocked at that actually but then I thought, maybe she was having more trouble then editing and time restraints allowed to be shown? Or, maybe the show was paying for it so she wanted to do it before the 6 months was up.

I'm just now getting into the "fat show" thing. I love "I use to be fat" on Mtv.. I will definatley have to check Heavy out.

LOVE the show "Heavy", it is so awesome! It is inspirational. I, too, found it odd that the lady had skin surgery so early in her weight loss, but I can understand why she did it, what a great motivation! I also watched "Ton of Love", and that guy did freak me out a lot!

I did think about that. Usually people wait until they've lost all of their weight to get their loose skin removed, but it was mentioned that she did it because it was hindering her during workouts. She did have a very large belly (honestly, I've hardly seen a belly as large as hers was, and I've seen many "fat shows"!), so when she lost the fat out of it the loose skin was just in her way and she couldn't work out to her fullest potential. It seemed like an extreme case, so I couldn't blame her for wanting to get rid of it already, especially when she still had so much more working out to do to get rid of the rest of her weight!
