Prior to appearing on the show, McMillian suffered a heart attack, but surgery was unable to be performed due to her weight. Shortly after the heart attack, McMillian’s fiancé died in a car accident.
In a preview of her “My 600-Lb. Life” episode, McMillian said that food had “taken over her life” and left her “exhausted.”
“If I don’t lose this weight, I’m going to die. I know I’m going to die,” she said in the clip. “Because I do feel like a ticking time bomb. My heart could give out at any time.”
“I can feel the weight weighing me down. It’s like my body’s trying to give up,” McMillian continued. “I can feel it, but I can’t give up. I have to be here for my kids.”
