Gabourey Sidibe – 150 Lbs – Weight Loss Surgery

Gabourey Sidibe grew up motivated and inspired to pursue her dreams. Her mother, who left employment in special education to become a street artist, served as her biggest inspiration. The stars aligned, and Sidibe found herself in Hollywood. Next to her talent, her weight often comes up as a topic of discussion.

She also had a reality check when the symptoms of diabetes started weighing her down, and she had surgery to kickstart her weight loss in 2016. She’s lost an impressive 150 lbs so far. She even penned down her experience through her 2017 publication, This is Just My Face: Try Not To Stare.
