Whitney insisted, "I'm so fed up with it... I wonder if I should just, you know, like have surgery or something so I can just have a better life."
Whitney Thore seriously considered weight loss surgery in Season 8 of 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life.'
During a Season 8 episode titled, "Weight-Loss Surgery," Whitney opened up to her BFF Buddy Bell about her struggles with online dating
She did so by reading a few of the nasty messages she received from complete strangers.
"Weight loss surgery is never something I've considered for myself and it's not something I've found especially helpful for most other people."
I know I'm dealing with depression at a level I haven't dealt with in a very long time. And I feel like I'm looking for relief or a solution or a change."
Whitney went on to share her thoughts about weight loss surgery with her wider circle of friends later on in the episode and all of them were shocked to hear the 37year-old was actually considering it
During an episode titled, "Whitney Gets Her Groove Back," Whitney consulted a doctor about her options if she decided to move forward with weight loss surgery
"I'm glad that I had this consultation because some of the information she gave me surprised me," Whitney said, in reference to the surgery not being as risky as she initially thought
