Media personality and casting director Amira Buzaglo marked the one-year anniversary of her gastric bypass surgery by revealing a significant weight loss of 59 kilograms. She shared her journey on social media, detailing the fears and anxieties that preceded the operation, including canceling appointments multiple times at the last minute due to fear of anesthesia and the procedure's outcome.
Buzaglo described her feelings on the morning of the surgery, stating she was introspective and listening to music, questioning if her life was about to change. She recalled praying and crying, and entering the operating room on a day when hostages were being returned to Israel. She told the medical team to keep her safe, hoping to see the hostages return home soon, and noted that it took time for her, too, to return home, initially in pain and unable to smile.
During her hospital recovery, Buzaglo was supported by her close friend Adi Guy, who stayed with her overnight and helped her through the difficult days. Buzaglo, who has previously advocated for positive body image for plus-size individuals and participated in campaigns for plus-size and lingerie brands, explained her decision to undergo surgery. She stated that while she was comfortable with her body for years, recent years brought changes due to fertility treatments, hormonal therapy, seven pregnancies, and two births, making her uncomfortable with her size.
The physical strain and weight had led to medical issues, including two years of foot pain that disappeared after her weight loss, highlighting the burden she carried. Buzaglo revealed in a previous interview that she had booked and canceled the surgery three times due to intense fear. Despite her anxieties, the results were rapid, with a 51-kilogram loss within six months. She expressed satisfaction but aims to lose an additional 15 kilograms, feeling like Kate Moss at her current weight.
Buzaglo concluded her year-long reflection by thanking her family, friends, and children for their support, emphasizing that life is a single journey to be lived to the fullest.
