She said at Lauryn Shannon’s (also known as Pumpkin) house that she would be undergoing surgery costing her 13,000 dollars. The surgery is known as suture sculpt endoscopic sleeve. She said a New York doctor in Queens would perform it. It will help her lose a lot of weight, i.e. from 275 pounds to 150 pounds.
Thompson mentioned that her surgery is still a work in progress, but there is no commitment as she is unsure. She says she wants to be certain that this procedure is something she wants before going for it. She is afraid that this surgery will be lethal for her.
Why does Alana want to undergo surgery instead of diet and exercise?
Thompson knows that a healthy diet and strict exercise plan will take her to her desired destination. But she was bold enough to admit in public that she wanted to get there by faster means.
She said that she had tried numerous times that she could try to eat healthier and follow a strict regime of exercise. But she failed many times. She lacks the motivation and the passion to go to the gym every day and work hard to attain her goal of losing weight. She also said that she is not motivated to eat healthy either because she wants to eat something she thinks is best for her. She does not want to force herself to eat a salad because it is healthier than other foods. She will eat anything that she knows and considers suitable for herself. Therefore, she believes surgery is a faster way to lose her body fat easily. It will help her reach her goal quickly.
What did Lauryn Shannon has to say about this?
Shannon has told Thompson that changing her day-to-day lifestyle is necessary to maintain her body figure, whatever she has been aiming for. Thompson has witnessed what can go wrong when people do not maintain a healthy lifestyle after the transformation. Their sister Jessica and her mother have also undergone weight-loss surgery but failed to maintain a proper lifestyle and their transformation was utterly for nothing. She does not want Thompson to go through the same. Shannon believes that if this is something Thompson wants, then she will support her, but she needs to make adjustments to her lifestyle as well.
Alana Thompson, on the other hand, said that she will maintain a healthy lifestyle after her transformation because after she has lost her weight, she will be motivated to maintain it.
Thompson also believes that her genes have played a role in her failure to lose weight. She said she had been very sick when she was younger and was always on steroids. Her mom has also told her that due to a medical condition, her arms and legs are swollen, which contributes to the fat. She had also admitted that her eating habits also definitely affect her body weight.
Thompson said that if she decides to go under the knife, her sister Lauryn Shannon and Dralin Carswell, her boyfriend, will encourage and support her constantly. However, she said that she was nervous about the procedure thinking that if something goes wrong and she never comes back to life. And what if the pain is real bad? All these reasons are holding her back.
