Pierce’s weight-loss journey was documented on TLC’s My 600-Lb. Life, receiving guidance on the show from Houston-based bariatric surgeon Dr. Younan Nowzaradan.
She later returned for My 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now?. After weighing close to 800 lbs., Pierce was able to regain her independence after weight loss surgery and multiple skin removal surgeries.
At the time, Pierce said she was making sure she didn’t fall into old habits after losing nearly 300 lbs.
“I don’t want to go back to the way I was, where I was trapped in one room in my apartment all day, every day,” she said. “You can live your whole life believing that you can’t change the things you just don’t like … the day you see that for a lie, anything is possible.”
