...whole section of the book is dedicated to a horrific liposuction experience, complete with photos. You could have literally died from the botched procedure, but then you admit to doing it again. Why did you get liposuction the second time? I have a lot of shame about that. The second time I had plastic surgery, I got it done for free. People was covering it, and I met a team of doctors that had a publicist who kept adding procedures. The guy who did my LASIK surgery wanted to do a "tune-up," and now I've had five surgeries...

We met at Dogtown, a section of the nonprofit Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, www.bestfriends. org, outside the Utah town of Kanab.
