In March 2021, Angela revealed her new self to the world. She appeared in an interview with Us Weekly at nearly half her previous size. The reality TV star underwent three separate surgeries: gastric bypass, liposuction, and a breast reduction, all during 2020. Although this season is currently showing Angela prepping for the surgeries, she's been showing off her new body on Instagram. A recent photo series has the slim Meemaw posing with her four grandkids, who were a motivator for her to decide on the procedures. "I've always wanted to enhance my look for Michael because of his age," she says in the Us interview, "but this journey, you know, people need to know I felt like [I would have] died without the weight-loss surgery."
The process was no walk in the park for Deem, now 55. She told the outlet that the recovery, which took 3 months, "[were] the hardest months of [my] life," and she's made a real change to her eating habits. "It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle," she said. Screenrant recently reported that fans are furious with Angela for refusing to quit smoking for her procedures, but Angela made no mention of smoking in her recent interviews. Only new episodes will tell if the Georgia native has been able to kick her 45-year-old habit. "90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?" is currently airing on TLC Sundays at 8PM and on the TLC Go App.
