One day, Danielle Hutchinson, Norwich, Connecticut, resident, who weighed 325 pounds, realized that her weight was keeping her and her critically ill four-year-old daughter from boarding the rescue chopper.
This woman has struggled with weight all of her life. She was forbidden from roller coasters and needed an extra belt whenever she flew. However, in December 2022, her weight started to pose a serious threat to her health.
Neve, her daughter, suffered from a serious asthma attack and needed to be airlifted to a specialized hospital immediately. Danielle’s weight unfortunately proved to be a safety hazard, and she was forced to travel apart from her daughter by medical specialists.
For Danielle, this encounter marked a sea change.In a few of weeks, she began taking injections for weight loss and drastically altered her diet. She stuck to her diet and exercise routine for the next year and lost an amazing 200 pounds. Danielle now weighs only 110 pounds and is in awe of her good fortune.
“I’ve fought obesity for nearly my whole adult life and have always prioritized my kids.”, she claims.
However, missing out on riding the chopper with my daughter served as a wake-up call for me. I realized that I had to take care of myself if I wanted to be there for my kids. Danielle is up against a new obstacle despite her success: having almost five kilograms of extra skin removed from her tummy.
