Gina Krasley once weighed a staggering 275 kg, the same weight she had when she first appeared on television. Today, she has transformed dramatically, weighing just 95 kg.
At 28, Gina lived in New Jersey with her mother, sister, and other family members. Her childhood was challenging — her father-daughter relationship was strained, and her parents’ divorce left lasting scars. Gina and her sister turned to food for comfort, and by age 19, Gina’s weight had reached 227 kg.
Life eventually became unbearable, and Gina knew she had to take control for the sake of herself and her marriage. Moving to Houston marked a turning point, but it came with new challenges. The doctor overseeing her care set strict requirements and frequent check-ins, testing her determination.
“My weight kept me stuck in this chair all day, and I hated it,” Gina recalled, describing the struggles of her daily life.
The urgency grew when her sister’s wedding approached, leaving her wife Beth to handle everything alone. Gina realized that her immobility was affecting her marriage and thought, “I could die if I don’t do something. It will only get worse.”
To qualify for surgery, Gina had to lose fifty pounds on her own. The doctor insisted that patients take the first step themselves, believing there were no “magic solutions.” There were setbacks — she gained 13 pounds just before a scheduled surgery, which led to her approval being revoked.
The doctor then set an even more demanding goal: lose seventy-five pounds in three months. Gina rose to the challenge, and her hard work paid off. Today, the “before and after” photos speak volumes: from 275 kg to 95 kg.
Though Gina doesn’t share many updates on social media, her wife Beth says the journey has given Gina the motivation she needed, transforming not just her body but her life.
