The mother-of-four wanted to regain control of her life and end a cycle of overeating to deal with the trauma of her past.

Shortly before McMillian appeared on the series, she suffered a heart attack and lost her fiancé in a car accident.

After receiving weight-loss surgery, she suffered complications and ended up on life support. It was reported that McMillian started hemorrhaging when a row of stitches from the procedure had broken open.
