A few years ago, Frances struggled with her weight, health, and feelings of depression. “I was always doing yo-yo diets. I would go from 115 to 170. I was borderline diabetic - I couldn’t even tie my shoes. My cholesterol was over 300. So, I decided to diet the proper way.” When it came time to unveil her surgery results she thought, “This is not me. This is a new person. I love life. I didn’t before, but I do now.”
