Makeover alert! Mama June: Road to Redemption star Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson will reportedly have a $13,000 non-surgical endoscopic gastric tube surgery shortly after her 17th birthday next month to lose weight (Picture: March 11, 2009) July).
Patients take one to three days to recover and experience a feeling of fullness after eating smaller portions, losing an average of 20% of their total body weight over 12 months.
However, according to the site, “a solid commitment to a healthy lifestyle, including exercise and nutritional intake, is required for long-term success.”
Alana is concerned that her weight is genetic, and she hasn’t been happy with the results of dieting or more exercise.
Because Thompson is a minor, her half-sister Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird – who is her legal guardian – has to sign the procedure specifically for those with a BMI of 30 or more.
