Lexi Reed – aka @fatgirlfedup – is currently recovering from the surgery which was also followed by a bum lift.
"My name is Lexi and I lost 312lbs on my own with diet and exercise," she wrote on Instagram.
"I was overweight my entire life and never once in my life have I had a flat stomach.
"For so long I accepted the reality I never would and knew I just needed to get healthy to save my life despite what my body looked like.
"Going into losing weight I knew I'd be left with loose skin regardless as it's not something that normally can be avoided, but although I realised the cosmetic aspect of it I didn't realise the physical. [sic]"

#throwbackthursday Same girl, same gym, but a completely different life. I've been on both sides and I want you to know battling obesity instead of choosing to just live with it was one of the best choices I made for myself. The girl on the left wished for so many years to be the girl on the right. She wanted it more than anything but always talked herself out of her own greatness and thought others had a secret to how they changed their life, or that she was just big boned. However that's the thing wishing, making excuses, comparing, and never taking the steps to start held her back from who she could be. I am proof that we can hit our rock bottom, but we dont have to stay there. I am proof it's never too late to change your life and that if we put in the work we can all see the greatness in each of us. Start today! ——————————————————————————– DIETBET JUST STARTED!

#motivationmonday My name is Lexi and I lost 312lbs on my own with diet and exercise. These are the battle wounds I was left with and the freedom of my new reality. I was overweight my entire life and never once in my life have I had a flat stomach. For so long I accepted the reality I never would and knew I just needed to get healthy to save my life despite what my body looked like. Going into losing weight I knew I'd be left with loose skin regardless as it's not something that normally can be avoided, but although I realized the cosmetic aspect of it I didnt realize the physical. Once I lost my weight my skin weighed me down, threw off my posture, effected my workouts, and gave me neck pain to the point that I couldn't function for my daily activities or doing the things I loved. I dont tell you these things to scare you or make you feel sympathy for me because I'd take even more skin any day, but to motivate you to take charge of your life and the future of your own skin as soon as possible. Loose skin can cause just as much pain as not taking care of your health can. Dont wait another moment to change your life. Start today! ——————————————————————————– Whos ready to hustle for the holidays!? NEXT DIETBET STARTS 11/19!! Theres almost less than 2 months left to finish this year fighting for your health! Why not bet on yourself with our tribe? Next dietbet starts 11/19! I joined my first dietbet in January 2016 when I started my journey & it helped me change my life!

"Once I lost my weight my skin weighed me down, threw off my posture, impacted my workouts and gave me neck pain to the point that I couldn't function for my daily activities or doing the things I loved," she continued.
"I dont tell you these things to scare you or make you feel sympathy for me because I'd take even more skin any day but to motivate you to take charge of your life and the future of your own skin as soon as possible.
"Loose skin can cause just as much pain as not taking care of your health can. Don't wait another moment to change your life. Start today! [sic]"
Lexi began her weight loss journey in January 2016 and dropped 312 pounds in less than two years.
The Instagram influencer also had a bum lift last week, explaining on social media that she "was very adamant [not to] lose [her] curves".
"This is my new reality and I know this is a different type of transformation," she wrote.
"However one thing I was very adamant about was I didnt want to lose my curves, and especially not my booty gains from the thousands of squats I've done since this started.
"I love my Curves & they are one of my favorite things about my body!
"I also was concerned about how often lower body lifts flatten the buttocks and speaking with my doctor we had a conversation about preserving my buttock tissue to keep my shape.
"My surgeon used buttock flaps made from my own tissue and then some fat was also transferred to the lower buttocks to complete the shape. [sic]"
Earlier this week, we told you about the blogger who eats 8,000 calorie mega meals in MINUTES — but is still a size 10.
We also revealed the one simple move that could save your child’s life if a dog attacks, according to a vet.
And we told you about the woman who earns almost £100k a year… by selling her smelly shoes and SOCKS to foot fetishists.
