But she’s also noted that it’s not a permanent fix. “I feel like I’ve reached the weight I’m supposed to be,” she told InTouch after losing over 100 lbs. in 2013. “For 32 years – from 18 to 50 – I tried everything on the planet, and once I had a clean slate with that I said, ‘You know what? Nothing’s working for me. I’m going to treat this like the addiction that it is. I’m going to get this surgery and use it as a tool.’ That’s all it is, a tool to help me get over it,” she candidly shared. Now, Lisa is better than ever!
