"She started the ‘dancing has no size limit’ Tiktok trend and she dreamed of one day opening up a dance studio for special needs children. Gina once appeared in a movie when she was younger called ‘Walking to the Waterline’ and she enjoyed playing video games and spending time with her family."
Krasley was featured on the reality TV series in 2020. The show peels the curtain back on people undergoing gastric bypass surgeries.
In a clip from the show, Krasley says her life struggling with weight has "been hard."
"I always felt my entire life like I was just pushed under the rug," she said.
Krasley said she used food as an "escape" and was 300 pounds by 14 years old. "As I was getting closer to 500 pounds, it started to get harder to do things," Krasley added.
