My 600-Lb Life: Amber Rachdi shows off 470-lb weight-loss – But The “Batman” Body Detail She Revealed Left Fans Speechless!
MY 600-Lb Life star Amber Rachdi has flaunted her thinner figure after her drastic weight loss and highlighted her “weird” body feature.
At the time, Amber weighed 657 lbs at just 24 years old and was confined to her home in Troutdale, Oregon.
The reality star’s condition became so concerning that a doctor warned her that she wouldn’t live past 25 if she didn’t make a dramatic change to her health.
It was then that Amber underwent gastric bypass surgery, which she documented as part of her weight loss journey on the show.
Fast forward 10 years, and Amber is down 470 lbs, looking like a completely different person than her days on TV.
She showed off her slimmer physique in an Instagram video over the weekend, including an unexpected side effect from the procedure.
Amber filmed herself standing in front of her bathroom mirror, jiggling the significantly droopy skin beneath her arms.
She explained that the excess skin was from her nearly 500-lb weight loss, and it would remain until she underwent skin removal surgery.
However, the TLC star admitted she didn’t have the funds for the expensive procedure, but hopes to one day.
In the meantime, Amber has made light of her “flabby” skin and “Batman” arms, and said she often covers them with long sleeves.
Despite their shocking appearance, Amber assured that the saggy skin is “healthy,” although it’s “obnoxious” to deal with when doing certain tasks.
Amber flexed her arms for the camera and explained that her skin felt like “slime” or “squishy” kid toys and appeared to have a sense of humor about it as she played with it in her reflection.
“For now, I live, laugh, jiggle,” Amber joked in the clip.
“Loose skin check, folks. I’m Batman,” she added in her caption.
Amber has made leaps and bounds in improving her health since starring on My 600-Lb Life a decade ago.
However, others had a drastically different outcome after appearing on the show.
Last month, Pauline Potter, who also starred on the show in 2015, tragically died after battling a series of health complications following a car accident.
Pauline shaved off more than 500 lbs from her original weight of 678 lbs and underwent skin removal surgery.
Months earlier, Latonya Pottain, who appeared on Season 11, also sadly passed after asking fans for prayers.
She died of natural causes at 40 years old.
Latonya previously suffered heart issues and struggled with sticking to a weight loss plan.
