90 Day Fiancé' Angela's Weight Loss

A 90 Day Fiancé star is showing off dramatic weight loss.

Angela Deem, the wife of Nigerian 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Michael Ilesanm, recently underwent five surgeries in a single day to get snatched.

She told Us Weekly that after visiting her African hubby she gained a substantial amount of weight and decided she needed a change. She also admitted that her smoking habit caused her to struggle pre-surgery and she “really thought that [she] would die” if she didn’t make a decision about her weight.

With that, she took extreme measures.

“I noticed when I went to Nigeria last time I was just putting on weight … I said, ‘I’m getting bigger or swollen.’ I mean, I think I gained 20, almost 25 pounds,” the TLC personality, 55, told Us Weekly exclusively as she detailed her path to a slimmer figure. “It just hit me all at once. … I couldn’t even walk in the grocery store with the kids to get groceries. I was out of breath. I started realizing I needed something done,” she explained.

In August, Angela had gastric sleeve surgery, a breast reduction, and liposuction. She also had two other surgeries that same day to fix hernias inside her body.

“I decided to do breast surgery while I’m there. [A] reduction. Everybody’s like, ‘What?’ I’m like, ‘Why not?’” she told Us. “And then what about liposuction? … I said, ‘Let’s do it! Let’s do it all in one day.’”

“I’m going to do everything I can while I’m there, and I’m strong, and I’m going to be all right. I said, ‘This is something I need to do,’” Angela recalled, noting that she’s dropped “maybe 85 to 90 pounds” thanks to the operations. “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.”

For reference, this was Angela before…

and here she is now 90 pounds lighter.

Congrats Angela!
