Mariah Carey has undergone gastric sleeve surgery. According to reports, the singer made the decision after being body-shamed. She was unable to handle the harsh critiques since her weight gain. The procedure took place in Beverly Hills by one of the country’s best surgeons.

Sources say:

“Mariah has always been proud of her curves, but this summer, as her Caesars Palace residency came to a close, and then she went on tour with Lionel Richie, she noticed it became harder to dance, and she was getting a lot more criticism online from body shamers.”

Reports also reveal that the cause of her weight gain is due to “late-night eating and cocktails after shows with current boyfriend and back-up dancer Bryan Tanaka."

Since the surgery, she’s already seeing results and is feeling much better.
