Journey to Health

Social-media sensation Simone Anderson's weight peaked at 169 kg. When she finally faced up to how overweight she was, she knew something had to change.

Simone shared her progress on Facebook, to keep herself accountable, and her fan base grew rapidly as she underwent gastric-sleeve surgery and lost a massive 88 kg.

Her story went viral when she shared photos of the excess skin that remained after her weight loss. And when she was offered surgery to remove the skin, she documented the whole experience and got worldwide media attention.
