Alana Thompson Worried About Not Waking Up After Surgery
Yesterday, news broke that Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson was undergoing a major life change. She had committed to a weight loss surgery along with her boyfriend. It was set to take place at the end of August after she turned seventeen. However, it seems that it is not necessarily set in stone. Read on to find out what could possibly halt the procedure.
Alana Thompson Desperate To Change Her Life
It has been a long road for the former pageant tot. She grew up with a mama who did not necessarily have the best eating habits. Mama June made interesting dishes that could make an average person’s stomach turn. She was also quite overweight but eventually turned that all around. Once Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was canceled, June was single and ready for a complete transformation. Therefore, she underwent a gastric sleeve which changed her life completely.
This was all documented on her own reality series and the results were incredible. Unfortunately, her youngest daughter, Alana continued to struggle. Sadly, June ended up getting heavy into drugs, got arrested, and ended up in rehab with Alana going to live with her sister, Pumpkin. On her road to sobriety, she gained back a lot of her weight and would show her love to Alana, when she would see her, through food. There was a time when Pumpkin was enforcing healthier eating but June did not care.
Alana got tested for diabetes and fans were continuously cruel about her weight. They would comment that she needed to eat a salad and get healthy. Finally, TMZ reported that the sixteen-year-old was undergoing weight loss surgery in New York shortly after her seventeenth birthday next month. Apparently, Pumpkin had signed off on it and her boyfriend Dralin was also going under the knife. Now it seems this announcement was a tad premature.
A Surgery Derailed?
According to an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the decision to get the weight loss procedure is not completely set in stone. Alana Thompson has a handful of reasons for being skeptical about doing it and they are 100% valid. Currently, she reportedly weighs around 275 pounds with a goal weight of 150. Yet, she still has a lot of thinking to do, Alana shared exclusively with ET. “I just wanna make sure that this is actually something I wanna do before I just go and do it. I wanna make sure that it’s, like, not something that’s, like, gonna kill me. And I just wanna make sure it’s something I actually wanna do before I go and do it.”
Additionally, she is very much aware that living a healthier lifestyle could get her to where she wants to be. Yet, the surgery would be a far quicker fix. Admittedly she has tried but she is honest when she says that she lacks motivation. Her older sister and guardian, Pumpkin agrees that this would help immensely and stands by her whatever she chooses to do. One of Alana’s biggest fears is being put under.
“I just think, like, it’s them putting me to sleep for me. I’m just so nervous. Like, what if I don’t wake up? What if something goes wrong? I’m so nervous about the pain too. Me and pain are not good. Like, pain is not my friend.” However, this could be an amazing outcome but she just needs time to decide. Luckily, she has support from those who love her.
