Despite her initial excitement for the family vacation, the reality TV celebrity’s health issues posed significant difficulties. Fans of MBFFL are aware of Whitney’s medical struggles, as well as the challenges she has faced due to her body weight. While Season 11 showcased her impressive transformation, Whitney had a tough time enjoying her time in Switzerland due to her declining health.
The Thore family gathered for the trip, aiming to explore the mountains and help Glenn fulfill his bucket list. However, fans were stunned when Whitney had to be rescued by an emergency helicopter from the mountains.
Whitney had taken charge of organizing the trip but soon found herself suffering from poor health while in the mountains. Despite waking up with a sore throat on the first day of their Switzerland vacation, she chose to join her family in the mountains, determined to make the most of the experience. However, as the trip progressed, Whitney’s health worsened, and she made the decision to head back to the train.
Unfortunately, she discovered that the train service was disrupted due to a malfunction. Whitney returned to her family to inform them that helicopters would be sent to transport them from the mountains. It was during this time, while walking in the snow, that Whitney’s condition deteriorated further. Recognizing the severity of her health issues, she notified the authorities and was given priority for the first helicopter to descend.

Whitney emphasized that it was a genuine emergency, and she had no choice but to utilize the helicopter for evacuation. While the rescue successfully retrieved Whitney, her health took a further toll.
Glenn Thore expressed concern that his daughter’s poor health might negatively impact the entire vacation. The unexpected turn of events left the family grappling with the repercussions of Whitney’s deteriorating condition.
