*Mama June Shannon may be looking fit after dropping down to a size 4, but the reality star admits that her dramatic weight loss and cosmetic surgery “took a toll on me — not just physically, but emotionally.”
June showed off the results of her dramatic weight loss on WE tv’s “Mama June: From Not to Hot: on Friday, in which it was also revealed that she needed a tummy tuck and breast lift in order to remove the excess skin that was left over after shedding the fat.
After undergoing the procedure to do so, Mama June was distraught with the results, ET reports. The skin removal surgery left her bandaged and bruised, but overall, she’s pleased with the results.
“It makes me feel really good to show other people this is what I’ve always thought of myself and that my inside hadn’t changed, like my giving and outgoing and loving personality that was there when I was there. It’s just a little bit more out there,” Shannon said.

As The Sun notes, the long recovery time and intense pain led Mama June to cancel her next skin removal surgery, which was meant to correct her “turkey neck” and “bat wing” arms.
“My goal when I first started this weight loss journey was to make Sugar Bear kind of jealous,” Shannon said. “But it’s no longer about revenge,” she said. “Doing all the surgeries really took a toll on me — not just physically, but emotionally.”
You’ll have to wait until the next episode to see if she decides to push forward with more surgeries. Shannon will also share the details of exactly how she went from a size 18 to a size 4 in the next issue of PEOPLE.
The “Mama June: From Not to Hot” finale airs April 7 at 9 p.m. ET on WE tv.
