Weight loss treatment

Alana Thompson, better known by her stage as Honey Boo Boo, has acknowledged that she isn't completely certain that she wants to follow through with the weight-loss treatment. She expressed her worry about having the procedure.

Thompson added that she is concerned about the discomfort and stress following the weight-loss operation.

Suture Sculpt Endoscopic Sleeve

She announced that she would be having surgery that would cost her $13,000 at Lauryn Shannon's (commonly known as Pumpkin's) home. Suture Sculpt Endoscopic Sleeve is how the procedure is known.

She stated that it would be done in Queens by a New York physician. It will aid in her substantial weight loss, taking her from 275 pounds to 150 pounds.

Her Statement

"I just wanna make sure that this is actually something I wanna do before I just go and do it," Thompson told the outlet. "I wanna make sure that it's, like, not something that's, like, gonna kill me."

Uncertain

Although Thompson said that her surgery is still being worked on, she made no commitments because she is unclear. She claims that before having the treatment, she wants to make sure that she wants it. She worries that the procedure will be fatal for her.

Honest admit

Thompson is aware that getting to where she wants to go will require a good diet and a rigorous training regimen. But she had the courage to admit in the open that she preferred to travel more quickly.

Accomplish her objective

She claimed that she had often attempted to adopt a healthy diet and adhere to a rigorous exercise regimen. However, she repeatedly failed. She doesn't have the drive or the motivation to work hard at the gym every day and lose weight.

She added that she is not inspired to eat healthily either because she prefers to consume what she believes to be best for her. Although a salad is healthier than other dishes, she does not want to make herself eat it.

She, therefore, thinks having surgery is the easiest and fastest approach to reduce her body fat. She will swiftly be able to accomplish her objective.

Lifestyle Change

Shannon has admitted to Thompson that in order to retain her current physical shape and achieve her goals, she must alter her daily routine. When people don't continue living a healthy lifestyle after the shift, Thompson has seen what may go wrong.

Their mother and sister, Jessica, also had weight-loss surgery, but they failed to maintain a healthy lifestyle, therefore their change was completely ineffective. Thompson shouldn't experience the same thing, in her opinion.

Shannon thinks she will back Thompson if she decides to go forward with this, but she also needs to change her lifestyle.

Transformation

Alana Thompson, on the other hand, asserted that she would continue living a healthy lifestyle following her transformation because she would be compelled to do so once she had shed the weight.

Her Genes

Thompson thinks her genes may have contributed to her inability to shed weight. She claimed that when she was younger, she had a severe illness and was always taking steroids.

Her mother also informed her that her arms and legs are enlarged as a result of a medical ailment, which adds to the fat. She also acknowledged that her eating choices undoubtedly influence her body weight.

Will Support Her

Thompson promised that her sister Lauryn Shannon and her partner Dralin Carswell would always encourage and support her if she decided to get surgery. She admitted, though, that she was anxious about the procedure, fearing that something might go wrong and she wouldn't survive.

What if the discomfort is extremely severe? She is being held back by all of these factors.
