Remi Bader has shared her emotional journey after undergoing a weight loss procedure, revealing that the experience led her into a period of severe depression. During an appearance on Khloé in Wonderland, the TikTok influencer spoke about the challenges she faced after opting for a bariatric surgery known as SADI-S.
Bader explained that she decided to undergo the procedure over a year ago due to ongoing health concerns, including significant weight gain and knee pain. She admitted to struggling with other weight loss methods, having previously tried medications like Ozempic and Manjaro without lasting success. While she initially hesitated to discuss the surgery publicly, she ultimately chose to share her experience.
Describing her recovery as the most difficult phase of her life, Bader recalled suffering from severe complications. She was unable to swallow water, experienced persistent vomiting, and remained in the hospital for an extended period. The difficulties continued for six weeks, prompting her to stay with her parents as she battled physical and emotional distress.
She admitted that the ordeal left her feeling regretful and questioning her public image as someone who had always encouraged body confidence. The mental toll became overwhelming, and she found herself in a state of deep depression. However, she emphasized that her decision stemmed from genuine health concerns rather than societal pressure.
Now, Bader said she is in a much better place, both physically and mentally. While acknowledging that body confidence varies for everyone, she expressed relief in having taken steps to improve her well-being, reaffirming that health looks different for each individual.
