constant fear that her body would give up on her.
She admitted that she was not sure how much more weight she could carry. McCamey felt trapped in her own body and could not even leave her home, while then-girlfriend Sadi Gregory had to do everything for her, including bathing:
“Sadi does everything for me. To have someone bathe me is so embarrassing."
The Texas native's weight issues began with her grandmother's delectable cooking, but after getting pregnant four times and putting more weight each time, she was soon almost 600 lbs.
Her last resort was a gastric bypass surgery with Dr. Now, and she managed to shed 300 pounds by the end of her episode. Despite the challenges that she came across, she conquered and is now pushing toward a healthy lifestyle.
In a follow-up episode, she revealed that after losing her 17-year-old son Kenneth, she started seeking therapy and focusing on staying positive. In that case, she ended up getting approved for a crucial second surgery to remove excessive skin.
McCamey was featured in Season 4 of the show back in 2016 and initially weighed 590 lbs. She was forty-three years old at the time.
In 2017, she broke up with her lesbian partner, who spent years carrying for her. As she lost weight, she became more independent and even found herself a job at a law firm. McCamey found love again and married her girlfriend, Mary, in 2019.
