Influencer Remi Bader fires back at harsh comments about her body after revealing weight loss surgery

Remi Bader has fired back at harsh remarks about her slimmed-down body following her shock weight loss surgery admission last year.

The influencer, 30, responded to her critics on Monday by posting an Instagram reel of herself twirling around in a baby pink bikini in Palm Springs.

In the clip, Bader overlayed text of comments she has received online about her figure since opening up about her bariatric operation in March 2025.

One troll called Bader 'disgusting' while another cruelly scrutinized her 'loose skin' and other areas of her body.

In contrast, a different commenter accused Bader of secretly getting 'another surgery' as they admitted to missing her 'bigger' frame.

Bader also included some of the kinder comments she has received as part of her callout video, including one fan who publicly marveled at how 'toned' she looks.

To conclude the video, Bader wrote, 'Imagine we lived a life where we just didn't comment on people's bodies.'

Bader's post comes after she shared a candid confession about struggling with binge eating and battling depression over the years.

Early last year, the TikTok sensation explained her changed appearance and admitted that she underwent surgery in 2023 after years of speculation.

She said she had lost 140 pounds after secretly undergoing a procedure called single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy, or SADI-S for short.

The procedure is a modified bariatric procedure for weight loss and comorbidity resolution. 

She made the admission during an appearance on Khloe Kardashian's podcast last March.

Afterwards, Bader faced backlash from her fans from not disclosing the procedure when she got it as many accused her of 'lying' by avoiding questions about her transformation at the time. 

Bader previously rose to fame on TikTok by posting realistic clothing hauls and advocating for size inclusivity as a plus-size model.

Bader said she sought out the weight loss procedure after unhealthy cycles of trying many unsuccessful and harmful methods to lose weight.

In an interview with Self, she said she had been struggling with binge eating, tried out weight loss drugs and was experiencing debilitating gastrointestinal issues. 

She also noted how she built a platform on TikTok by embracing her body as a plus-size model and influencer as she opened up about the decision to undergo the procedure and lose weight. 

'I loved being curvy my whole life,' she told the outlet. 'I just did. It was who I was... I will always believe that you could be a bigger size and be healthy and happy.' 

She continued: 'I was for a while — that wasn't a lie — but there was a point when it shifted, and I became really unhappy.' 

She later said that after publicly revealing she underwent bariatric surgery, she has started feeling like herself again and was 'so happy' to see supportive comments.
