MANY people see gastric sleeve surgery as an “easy option” when it comes to weight loss.
But one woman named Aime Damario (@pandatheragdoll) has set out to dispel such perceptions by revealing the bad side effects she’s had to deal with since her weight loss surgery.
The TikTok user, who flew to Turkey for a gastric sleeve, posted a video where she explains how her “hair is falling out” and she’s “constantly got a cold.”
Aime goes on to say that she also gets “crippling indigestion” every time she eats and “can’t stand without getting dizzy.”
Finally, she points out how her stomach skin “resembles a kid’s parachute from 2004.”
Alongside the video, Aime penned: “The reality of bariatric surgery.
“IT IS NOT THE EASY OPTION!”
