Remi Bader has consistently maintained her authenticity.

And lately, fans have noticed something different—not just about her look, but her whole vibe. Yes, Remi’s been on a weight loss journey, but it’s not your typical before-and-after story. This is about more than shedding pounds—it’s about reclaiming health, boundaries, and self-love in a world that’s always watching.

So, what’s the real story behind Remi Bader’s weight loss transformation?

From Viral Star to Voice for Change

First, a bit of background for anyone who’s just catching up. Remi Bader blew up on TikTok with her hilarious and painfully relatable “realistic clothing hauls,” where she tried on outfits from popular brands and showed how they really fit on a curvy body. No filters, no angles—just the honest truth about sizing, fit, and the struggle of finding clothes that don’t treat plus-size bodies like an afterthought.

Her videos struck a chord with millions, and suddenly, Remi wasn’t just a content creator—she was a movement. Brands started listening, and she became a powerful voice in the body positivity space, advocating for size inclusivity and better representation in fashion.

But with that visibility came pressure. Lots of it.

Struggling Behind the Scenes

Despite her confident online persona, Remi has always been open about the fact that body positivity doesn’t mean you’re free from insecurities. And just like many of us, she’s had a complicated relationship with her body.

In early 2023, Remi revealed that she had started taking medication for weight loss—specifically, Ozempic, a drug originally designed for people with type 2 diabetes that’s become known for its weight-reducing side effects. At first, it seemed like the answer. But Remi soon realized that this wasn’t the healthy change she needed.

She opened up about stopping the medication after it led her to develop binge eating habits, something she had worked hard to manage. Instead of feeling better, she felt worse—and the weight loss didn’t come with the mental clarity or peace she hoped for. It was a wake-up call: real transformation isn’t just about changing your body, it’s about healing your mind too.

The Shift Toward Health, Not Just Weight

So, what changed? Remi shifted her focus from weight-loss medications to sustainable, healthy habits that brought her inner and outer well-being.

She started working with professionals who supported her both physically and mentally. That included a personal trainer who helped her embrace movement in a way that felt empowering, not punishing, and a therapist who guided her through the emotional side of body image and eating patterns.

But the biggest shift? In 2023, Remi made the deeply personal decision to undergo a SADI-S procedure—a more advanced form of weight loss surgery. Unlike a regular gastric sleeve, SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy) reduces the stomach size and also bypasses a section of the small intestine. People who require more significant metabolic changes and long-term results can benefit from this procedure.

At first, Remi chose to keep this decision private, needing time to adjust and process the experience on her own terms without public scrutiny. Months later, when she felt ready, she opened up about the surgery, being upfront about how difficult—but necessary—the choice was. After years of struggling, researching, and trying other methods, she didn’t choose surgery out of vanity or pressure, but as a way to prioritize her health and reclaim control over her well-being.

Don’t let anyone ever tell you surgery is the easy way out. I worked hard to get here and i’m forever proud of myself
