Remi Bader got real about the side effects of her weight loss surgery.
The model and influencer, 30, opened up about her “brutal” recovery from the procedure, called a single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S), via Instagram on Thursday, March 26, sharing she lost “a lot” of her hair.
While sharing screenshots of her DM’s with fans, one asked her secret to keeping her tresses “looking fab” through the recovery, which is known to cause hair thinning.
Bader replied, “Oh I lost so so much hair. Chunks daily. I think I always just had A LOT of hair so I notice more than others do but it’s slowly growing back now.” When she shared the screenshot via her Stories, Bader posted pics of clumps of her hair. “This started happening for me probably 3 months in and went on for a few months until I started focusing on having enough protein and my body started adjusting,” she wrote.

A second fan asked if she was taking any supplements for her hair, to which she replied, “I think many things can help. I was taking Nutrafol for a while, currently on Spironolactone, I hear Wellbell helps people, b12 shots. There isn’t really one answer for one person.”
Bader finally revealed she underwent the weight loss surgery — which connects the stomach to the lower small intestine, which ensures “less time and distance for the body to absorb fat and calories,” per the Mayo Clinic — on Wednesday, March 26, after fans had been speculating she was on Ozempic for months.
Bader had the surgery in December 2023 but shared that the recovery process included “projectile vomiting” for six weeks.

She also got candid about struggling with her new size, sharing, “I never wanted to be this size. I’m probably the only person that’s ever gone to a doctor for weight loss to be like, ‘OK, but can I still be curvy?’ It’s really confusing to be so quickly in a different body but have the exact same brain.”
