Angela Deem left no stone unturned when it came to her weight loss journey. The “90 Day Fiance” star revealed to Us Weekly in 2021 that she had five surgeries in one day to drop nearly 100 pounds. The TLC star underwent a breast reduction, liposuction, and gastric sleeve surgery to achieve her slimmer figure. “The bad thing was during the surgery … they found, you know, hernias and stuff. So, I actually had five surgeries in one day. I was under anesthesia for, like, six hours,” she revealed.
Deem, who is a grandmother of six, revealed she the risks of undergoing several surgeries paid off in the end. While she revealed that the months post-operation were difficult, especially not being able to eat as normal, she said it was worth it in the end. “There’s benefits behind doing it for myself because it also benefits the grandkids being around me longer and [Michael] and I being together longer,” she explained. “I did it for myself to stay alive … and [to] benefit the ones I love,” Deem said.

Deem, who was introduced to fans on Season 2 of “90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days,” revealed she didn’t undergo surgery just for her husband Michael Illesanmi, who is more than two decades younger than her. “I’ve always wanted to enhance my look for Michael because of his age, but this journey — people need to know — I felt like I would have died without the weight-loss surgery,” she said.
