'Everybody in the family might not agree with this gastric sleeve surgery but this is what I want for me,' she says in an interview session.

'I've been dealing with this weight all of my life and I want to show me, and the kids, that I can change and live a healthier life. 

'And when Sugar Bear sees the new and improved me at his wedding, he's gonna be so jealous about what he's missing out on.'

June's weight is shown at 352 pounds at the begin of the episode as she confesses, 'This surgery is the scariest thing I've ever done in my life, I could die from it.'

As she undergoes the procedure by Dr. Michael Feiz, daughters Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson, 11, and Lauryn 'Pumpkin', 16, patiently wait for her.

'The hardest part is over, the surgery has happened and I'm excited to go home, and watch the fat just come off of me and in a couple months from now I'm going to be sitting back, relaxing and dating hot men,' June says as she recovers in her hospital room.

Upon returning home after surgery, June is greeted by her niece Amber, saying: 'I feel like I'm five months pregnant and fixing to explode.'

Amber then tells her aunt that she has a 'welcome home present' for her.  

The clip transitions to Amber chatting with her mom - and June's sister - Doe Doe.

'Come on, I had to give her some kind of motivation. She's gotta be looking good at Sugar Bear's wedding.'

When Amber presented her aunt with a gift, June believed it to be 'sexy lingerie,' but her niece said she 'wouldn't do that in front of the girls.' 

'Whoa,' June says as she pulls it from the bag. 

The present was revealed to be a 'revenge dress'; a red, long-sleeve gown that featured a sparkly brooch on the side.

'This is for Sugar Bear's wedding. This is what you're working towards. To go, "ooh, baby baby, look at me."'

'What size is that?' asked June.

'Size four,' Amber responded.

'I'm a 22/24 right now,' her aunt shot back. 'This is like, 20 sizes smaller than me.'  

'You gonna look better than the bride,' said Amber.

'Oh I'm gonna look better than her any d*** way. Any day of the week' June shot back.

Meanwhile, as 12 weeks goes by, the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star manages to drop over 60 pounds throughout the episode.

But this doesn't seem to be enough for her manager, Gina Rodriguez, who wants to book 'Skinny Mama June' for a photo shoot the same week as Sugar Bear's wedding to show off her amazing transformation.

So Gina enlists the help of a militant-style personal trainer named Kenya who is introduced to June with a loud air horn as she's sleeping first thing in the morning.

As she stumbles downstairs he is in her face and enforces a strict workout regimen with her which she immediately refuses.

But Gina does not take 'no' for an answer and Kenya places June's hand on a scale as he calls it her new 'Bible.'

'I am your favorite babysitter,' the self-entitled 'world's greatest weight loss expert' tells her.

'I mean holy s**t , what the hell did I get myself into? There is literally a loony bin person in my house. What the f***?' June gripes.

'I am not feeling the love,' Kenya replies.
