Influencer Remi Bader responds to criticism after undergoing weight loss surgery: “I will never regret it”

Remi Bader, an influencer with over 800,000 followers, shared that she received a lot of criticism after revealing to her followers that she had undergone surgery to lose weight.

The revelation was made during Bader’s appearance on Khloé Kardashian‘s podcast. Recently, she made a post on Instagram to explain her decision to keep her 2023 weight loss surgery a secret from her followers.

“Sharing something so personal again for the first time in a while, I was prepared for reactions and support,” wrote the 30-year-old content creator last Wednesday (26).

Bader said that “at the end of the day,” she was “protecting [her] mental health” after undergoing a vertical gastrectomy with single duodeno-ileal anastomosis away from the public eye.

“No one will change how proud I am of myself for… setting my boundaries at a time when I was so low and so lost. And I will never regret it.”

In an interview with Self, she explained that she made the decision to undergo the surgery because she was suffering from back pain, excessive sweating, heart problems, and other symptoms caused by being overweight.

After a “brutal” recovery period, which left her in “deep depression,” Bader lost “over 63 kg in less than a year.”
