Alessandra explained that during a recent trip to Colombia, she met with a surgeon to discuss getting “reshaped and reassembled” and to finally address her “excess skin.”

“Fourteen years after the fact I’m finally taking care of it,” she laughed.

“I wanted to do reconstructive surgery because of the loose skin… so I reconsidered the decision.

‘I started in May and will continue at the beginning of next year after we finish closing the next season of MAFS.’

She added that her surgery would provide “some closure to the trauma behind the weight gain.”

Speaking with 9 FunAlessandra said the experience was ‘literally life-changing’ but was left surprised after some critics seemed openly angry at her weight loss journey.

“A lot of people complained, ‘Why did you get skinny?’ And then before it was like, ‘Why are you fat?'” she said.

‘You know you can never please people, and it’s never about pleasing people – but I was very surprised by the amount of people who said, ‘No, why did you do that?’ – It was my health, guys.’

Alessandra went on to say that the procedure – which involves surgically changing the stomach and small intestine – was an “incredible experience” for her.
