Sidibe said:

“I just didn’t want to worry, I truly didn’t want to worry about all the effects that go along with diabetes. I genuinely [would] worry all the time about losing my toes.”

She shared her experience about the surgery in this way by writing in her wise, witty, and unapologetic memoir, which was out in May,

“My surgeon said they’d cut my stomach in half. This would limit my hunger and capacity to eat. My brain chemistry would change and I’d want to eat healthier. I’ll take it! My lifelong relationship with food had to change,”
“The surgery wasn’t the easy way out. I wasn’t cheating by getting it done. I wouldn’t have been able to lose as much as I’ve lost without it.”

Drastic changes in life after the surgery

After the surgery, she has been more conscious about her eating habits. She is following the proper diet with the help of her nutritionist. Also, she has upped her fitness regimen, working out with a trainer, swimming, and riding a tricycle around the Empire set.

The decision to major surgery is not something she took lightly. She has been struggling with her look since she was 6 years old. She has overcome many battles in her life. Among them, she had a major battle when her parents split. At the time, she had battled depression, anxiety, and bulimia, which she eventually overcame through therapy.

Her experience with surgery

She shared her experience with the surgery for weight loss in this way.

She also said:

“It has taken me years to realize that what I was born with is all beautiful. I did not get this surgery to be beautiful. I did it so I can walk around comfortably in heels. I want to do a cartwheel. I want not to be in pain every time I walk up a flight of stairs.”

After the long procedure of 10 months, she has started losing weight.

“I have a goal right now, and I’m almost there. And then once I’ve got it, I’ll set another. But my starting weight and my goal weight, they’re personal. If too many people are involved, I’ll shut down.”

Before taking the decision to have surgery, she had lots of hesitation.

“I know I’m beautiful in my current face and my current body. What I don’t know about is the next body,” she writes her in This Is Just My Face. “I admit it, I hope to God I don’t get skinny. If I could lose enough to just be a little chubby, I’ll be over the moon! Will I still be beautiful then? S—. Probably. My beauty doesn’t come from a mirror. It never will.”

Also, the American Horror Story album has come to appreciate her appearance, no matter her dress size.

“There’s nothing ugly about me. Anyone trying to convince me that I am — and it’s usually me — is wasting her time. I was in a war with my body for a long time. If I’d started treating it better sooner, I wouldn’t have spent so many years hating myself. But I love my body now.”

The star rose her fame after appearing to play the titular role in Precious in 2009.
