After all the effort, as she writes, her heart pain, shortness of breath, back and joint problems, as well as constant heavy sweating have disappeared. In her social media post, she admitted that this journey became the start of a «new chapter» for her and required not only physical but also emotional effort.

‘All those conditions that were part of my life for years have been left behind. And it’s an incredible feeling—to wake up and not live through pain and discomfort.’

The publication sparked mixed reactions from the blogger«s audience. Some supported her, sharing identical situations and experiences with the same surgery, while others were quick to bring her »down to earth.«

‘In a couple of years, the weight will start slowly coming back. Maybe not all of it, but it will return,’ someone chips in their two cents in the comments.

‘I completely agree! You have great results, I’m at -49 kg so far.’

‘My friend had exactly the same surgery, lost weight, and for several years now, the result hasn’t disappeared.’

Another blogger, Bashkir Housewife, also lost a lot of weight over a year. But as a result of the rapid weight loss, excess skin remained, which the woman got rid of by resorting to plastic surgery. Check out her before/after.

Celebrities from Bashkiria are generally not averse to «modifying» themselves. For example, recently 27-year-old singer Gulnaz Asaeva admitted that she ‘got breast implants’. She told her followers about her condition after the surgery.
