00:32:24,867 --> 00:32:27,333
A SMALL MASS REMOVAL ON LAURA.
669
00:32:27,333 --> 00:32:29,533
IT'S GOING TO BE
A MINIMAL SURGERY,
670
00:32:29,533 --> 00:32:31,200
BUT IT'S GOING TO HAVE
A BIG IMPACT
671
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,067
ON HER ABILITY TO WALK
AND BE ACTIVE.

[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

00:32:35,700 --> 00:32:37,400
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GET STARTED.
674
00:32:39,633 --> 00:32:41,433
Dr. Nowzaradan: WE'RE GOING
TO REMOVE THE TISSUE,
675
00:32:41,433 --> 00:32:44,767
BEING VERY CAREFUL TO TIE OFF
ALL THE BLOOD VESSELS.
676
00:32:44,767 --> 00:32:46,767
ALL RIGHT.
677
00:32:46,767 --> 00:32:50,400
WE TOOK THIS MASS
OFF OF HER SUPRAPUBIC AREA.
678
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,233
AND WE REMOVED
OVER FIVE POUNDS OF MASS
679
00:32:53,233 --> 00:32:56,167
IN HER LOWER ABDOMEN.
680
00:32:56,167 --> 00:32:59,067
ALL RIGHT, ALL FINISHED UP.
681
00:32:59,067 --> 00:33:02,667
OKAY,
LET'S GET HER INTO RECOVERY.
682
00:33:02,667 --> 00:33:04,700
LAURA'S SURGERY WENT VERY WELL.
683
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:06,567
Woman: SLOW, DEEP BREATH.
684
00:33:06,567 --> 00:33:09,733
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR LAURA
TO MAINTAIN PROPER DIET
685
00:33:09,733 --> 00:33:12,233
SO HER WOUND CAN HEAL.
686
00:33:12,233 --> 00:33:15,800
WE'LL KEEP HER HERE FOR
A FEW DAYS WHILE SHE RECOVERS
687
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,100
AND SEND HER HOME
WHEN SHE'S STRONG ENOUGH.

MAKING A PLAN FOR SKIN SURGERY

OKAY.
GRANNY'S TRYING.
699

Marla: THE MORE
THE WEIGHT COMES OFF,
700
00:33:58,367 --> 00:34:01,733
THE EASIER IT IS TO STAND UP
AND MOVE AROUND.
701
00:34:01,733 --> 00:34:03,833
A YEAR AGO,
I HAD TO HAVE AN ARMY OF PEOPLE
702
00:34:03,833 --> 00:34:05,200
TO HELP ME STAND.
703
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,067

AAH! I'M FALLING!
PLEASE!
705
00:34:10,267 --> 00:34:12,567
AND SOMETIMES
THAT WASN'T ENOUGH.
706
00:34:12,567 --> 00:34:14,633
NOW THAT I'M LIVING
WITH MY FAMILY,
707
00:34:14,633 --> 00:34:17,500
MY MOTIVATION IS
RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
708
00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:20,867

I'M GONNA GET THERE.

-I DIDN'T MAKE ONE.

SINCE MY SURGERY,

AND TONIGHT I'M HAVING
A GIRLS NIGHT WITH MY SISTERS.

SINCE YOU'VE GONE OUT

WE'RE NOT LAUGHING
AT YOU.

00:34:54,733 --> 00:34:58,700
Laura: IT'S BEEN KIND OF ROUGH
WITH JOEY LATELY.
722
00:34:58,700 --> 00:35:01,833
HE FEELS LIKE
I DON'T NEED HIM ANYMORE,
723
00:35:01,833 --> 00:35:05,900
AND HE TELLS ME
THAT I SHOULD NEED HIM.
724
00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:08,067
AND I TOLD HIM I NEED HIM
BUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
725
00:35:08,067 --> 00:35:10,067
I DON'T NEED HIM
TO PUT ON MY SHOES.
726
00:35:10,067 --> 00:35:12,400
I DON'T NEED HIM
TO HELP ME IN THE SHOWER.
727
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,100
I TOLD HIM,
"I NEED YOU TO LOVE ME,
728
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:17,533
NOT TO TAKE CARE OF ME."
729
00:35:17,533 --> 00:35:20,100
AND HE TELLS EVERYBODY
THAT HE JUST WISHED
730
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:23,067
THAT I NEVER HAD THE SURGERY
AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
731
00:35:23,067 --> 00:35:25,133
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD.
732

WHY?
733
00:35:27,633 --> 00:35:29,700
BECAUSE WE GOT TO LEAVE YOUR
PACKAGE AT HOME AND BE OUT.

BUT I FEEL SORRY FOR HIM.

I DON'T.

00:35:33,067 --> 00:35:36,067
HE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S
A WHOLE NEW LIFE FOR YOU.
737
00:35:36,067 --> 00:35:39,933
IT'S A WHOLE CHANGE,
SO HE NEEDS TO DEAL WITH IT.
738
00:35:39,933 --> 00:35:43,067
Laura: HE'S SCARED TO LOSE ME,
BUT WHAT HE DOESN'T REALIZE IS
739
00:35:43,067 --> 00:35:44,600
HE'S PUSHING ME AWAY.
740
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,300
AND THAT'S GONNA BE
A CAUSE FOR US TO SPLIT UP.
741
00:35:49,300 --> 00:35:51,933
I THINK BEING HEALTHY
AND HAPPY IS MORE IMPORTANT
742
00:35:51,933 --> 00:35:56,233
THAN BEING MISERABLE
AND MAKING MY HUSBAND HAPPY.
743
00:35:56,233 --> 00:35:59,267

FOR ME.

REALLY WELL THIS PAST MONTH.

BUT I NEED TO KEEP MOVING MORE
750
00:36:21,933 --> 00:36:24,500

AND I DON'T WANT TO LOSE HIM.
762
00:37:03,767 --> 00:37:06,167
SO, YOU ALL HAVE BEEN TOGETHER
FOR 15 YEARS.
763

WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT
YOU TEND TO BUMP HEADS ON?
764
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,867
WHEN I WAS BIGGER,
HE HAD TO DO EVERYTHING FOR ME.
765
00:37:12,867 --> 00:37:14,367
I COULDN'T WALK.
766
00:37:14,367 --> 00:37:16,800
I COULDN'T TAKE A SHOWER
BY MYSELF AND STUFF.
767
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,700
SO, JOEY, YOU HAVE REALLY SEEN
LAURA AT HER WORST.

-YEAH.
-IN WHAT WAYS HAS SHE IMPROVED?
769
00:37:22,967 --> 00:37:24,833
SHE DOES A LOT OF THINGS
FOR HERSELF.

00:37:24,833 --> 00:37:27,633
I JUST STARTED GETTING UP,
PUTTING ON MY OWN CLOTHES,

PUTTING ON MY OWN SHOES.
772
00:37:29,500 --> 00:37:33,400
SO HE'S, LIKE, FREAKING OUT,
AND I GET ANGRY.

I DON'T KNOW
WHY YOU GET MAD

00:37:34,933 --> 00:37:37,167
WHEN I'M JUST TRYING
TO HELP YOU.
775
00:37:37,167 --> 00:37:42,267
BECAUSE YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE

TO HELP YOU OUT.
778

SO, IS IT POSSIBLE
THAT THE RELATIONSHIP CAN
779
00:37:51,900 --> 00:37:55,800
THEN CHANGE FROM NEEDING HIM
TO JUST WANTING,
780
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,667
THAT YOU DON'T NEED HIM
TO TAKE CARE OF YOU ANYMORE?
781
00:37:58,667 --> 00:38:02,600
NEEDING IS, LIKE, SOMEBODY
THAT YOU NEED TO DEPEND ON,
782
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,067
AND WANTING IS SOMEBODY
THAT YOU WANT THERE.

IT'S A CHOICE.
784
00:38:07,233 --> 00:38:09,233
IT'S A CHOICE
THAT YOU CAN STAY NOW
785
00:38:09,233 --> 00:38:10,367
OR A CHOICE
THAT YOU CAN LEAVE.
786
00:38:10,367 --> 00:38:13,133
AND I WOULD
NEVER LEAVE YOU.
787
00:38:15,067 --> 00:38:16,567

TO STAY?

00:40:26,100 --> 00:40:29,367
IT'S BEEN SO MUCH BETTER
WITH JOEY LATELY.
837
00:40:29,367 --> 00:40:34,333
I FINALLY FEEL LIKE HE'S WORKING
WITH ME TO FINISH THIS JOURNEY.
838
00:40:34,333 --> 00:40:37,267
TWO YEARS AGO, THIS WOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.
839
00:40:37,267 --> 00:40:39,567
LAURA AND I HAVE BOTH CHANGED
FOR THE BETTER.
840
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,933
-I LOVE YOU.
-I LOVE YOU, TOO.
841
00:40:46,933 --> 00:40:49,300
OH, MY GOD,
THIS IS SO WEIRD.
842
00:40:49,300 --> 00:40:52,267
Laura: IN A FEW MONTHS,
I HOPE TO GET MY SKIN SURGERY,
843
00:40:52,267 --> 00:40:55,900
AND IT FEELS SO GOOD
TO DO THIS TOGETHER.
844
00:40:55,900 --> 00:40:57,733
I LOVE MY LIFE,
845
00:40:57,733 --> 00:41:00,367
AND I'M FINALLY READY
TO LIVE IT.
846
00:41:02,367 --> 00:41:05,267
Marla: TODAY, I DECIDED
I NEEDED TO CALL DR. NOW
847
00:41:05,267 --> 00:41:06,867
AND TELL HIM HOW I'M DOING.
848
00:41:06,867 --> 00:41:09,067
I KNOW WE DIDN'T END
ON THE BEST TERMS,
849
00:41:09,067 --> 00:41:10,933
BUT I FEEL LIKE
I NEED TO REACH OUT.
850
00:41:10,933 --> 00:41:13,933
IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM,
I WOULDN'T BE WHERE I AM TODAY.
851
00:41:13,933 --> 00:41:15,833
-Hello.
-HEY, DR. NOW.
852
00:41:15,833 --> 00:41:16,800
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
853
00:41:19,300 --> 00:41:21,067
YEAH, THIS IS ME.
854
00:41:21,067 --> 00:41:25,367
I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR
THE SURGERY BECAUSE IT WORKED.
855
00:41:25,367 --> 00:41:27,133
DR. NOWZARADAN: That's great.
What is your weight doing?
856
00:41:27,133 --> 00:41:30,233
I'M DOWN TO 330 POUNDS.
I CAN WALK.
857
00:41:30,233 --> 00:41:31,767
I WALK
INTO MY DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS.
858
00:41:31,767 --> 00:41:32,767
I CAN WALK.
859
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:36,867
OKAY.
860
00:41:36,867 --> 00:41:38,467
GIRL, I'M READY TO GO
AND WORK OUT.
861
00:41:38,467 --> 00:41:39,667
ALL RIGHT.
862
00:41:39,667 --> 00:41:41,233
Marla: I'M TRYING TO WALK
A LITTLE BIT EVERY DAY
863
00:41:41,233 --> 00:41:43,200
JUST TO BUILD UP MY STRENGTH.
864
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,233
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY
I'M GONNA GET DOWN
865
00:41:45,233 --> 00:41:47,067
SO I CAN HAVE MY SKIN SURGERY.
866
00:41:47,067 --> 00:41:49,133
TWO YEARS AGO,
I HAD LOST THE HOPE
867
00:41:49,133 --> 00:41:51,967
OF EVER LOSING WEIGHT
AND GETTING OUT OF BED.
868
00:41:51,967 --> 00:41:54,933
I THOUGHT I'D BE STUCK FOREVER.
869
00:41:54,933 --> 00:41:56,733
Woman: DOING GOOD.
870
00:41:56,733 --> 00:41:58,200
ONCE I GET THIS SKIN OFF OF ME
871
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,300
AND NOTHING'S
HOLDING ME BACK ANYMORE,
872
00:42:00,300 --> 00:42:03,067
I'M GONNA TRAVEL
AND SEE THE WORLD.
873
00:42:03,067 --> 00:42:05,233
I'M GONNA REACH MY GOALS.
874
00:42:05,233 --> 00:42:07,500
I'M GONNA MAKE
THIS THING HAPPEN.
875
00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:10,467
TWO YEARS AGO,
I WAS STUCK IN BED
876
00:42:10,467 --> 00:42:12,933
AND MISSING OUT
ON MY GRANDKIDS' LIVES.
877
00:42:12,933 --> 00:42:15,067
Y'ALL ARE SUPPOSED
TO BE JUMPING. COME ON!
878
00:42:15,067 --> 00:42:18,633
NOW, I PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE
IN OUR TIME TOGETHER.
879
00:42:18,633 --> 00:42:20,533
Girl: IT'S REALLY GOOD
TO SEE MY GRANDMA HAPPY
880
00:42:20,533 --> 00:42:22,067
AFTER BEING STUCK IN THE HOUSE.
881
00:42:22,067 --> 00:42:24,200
Y'ALL WANT TO TRY
SOMETHING ELSE?
882
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:25,900
Marla:
I'M GONNA KEEP WORKING HARD
883
00:42:25,900 --> 00:42:29,067
SO THAT ONE DAY
I CAN DO EVEN MORE FOR THEM.
884
00:42:29,067 --> 00:42:32,200
NOW, I'M GONNA LIVE EVERY MINUTE
LIKE IT'S MY LAST.
