Los Angeles, CA – After months of speculation, Remi Bader has revealed that she underwent weight-loss surgery to address various health issues she was facing. In an interview with Self magazine, the influencer shared details about her single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy that she had in December 2023.
Bader made the decision to undergo the surgery after experiencing debilitating back pain, excessive sweat, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, heart problems, fatty liver disease, and fears of infertility. Despite the initial relief the surgery provided, she encountered struggles during her recovery, including persistent vomiting and falling into a deep depression.
Over the course of a year post-operation, Bader has lost more than 140 pounds. She explained that while her binge eating habits have improved, she still faces challenges, including restrictions on eating and drinking simultaneously, frequent bathroom trips at social events, hair loss, and ongoing battles with depression.
The TikTok star shared more about her weight-loss journey on a recent episode of the “Khloé in Wonder Land” podcast, opening up about the emotional and physical toll the surgery and recovery process took on her. Bader expressed that the transformation was quick and left her feeling confused in her new body with the same mindset she had before the surgery.
Bader decided to stop discussing her weight and health publicly back in September 2023 due to hurtful body-shaming comments she had received online. She emphasized the importance of taking care of herself and handling her health journey privately to avoid further negativity from trolls. Despite the challenges she has faced, Bader remains focused on her well-being and moving forward positively.
