‘I was diagnosed as obese when I weigh 16th [101kg] – I used to be 10-11 years old [65-70kg] – I’m really huge but it can’t be seen in the photos. ‘
After going under the knife, Jess said: “14 days ago I had gastric sleeve surgery due to the fact that I weighed 102 kilograms (16 stones) and my diet was not working.”
“The gastric sleeve surgery was the best I have done because I am no longer hungry and I no longer want to eat.”
For the future: on her future plans, she said: “My next surgeries will be another nose job and a feminization of the voice. But for now, I would like to take advantage of the summer and take care of myself.

She revealed that her gender reassignment process, including taking hormones, led to her weight gain.
Jessica said, “I attribute my weight gain to all of the surgeries I have had in the past two years as part of my parallel transition to hormone therapy. Hormones hold a lot of body fluid and it makes me hungry all the time.
Speaking of her results, she said: “After three months I will be able to see drastic results and just one liquid diet and I will never be hungry again…
“Obviously, the greater hunger will be suppressed from the stomach and when I am thinner I would like to be a glamor model and explore my femininity.”
In addition to a detox drink regimen, Jessica added that “body massages and therapy” are also helping her recover, with the star already looking to her next surgery.
“My next surgeries will be another nose job and a feminization of the voice. But for now, I would like to enjoy the summer and take care of myself and my health, ”said Jessica.
