Gogglebox star Amy Tapper discusses skin removal surgery
Amy recently told Closer magazine that she hopes to have excess skin removed after losing another stone. She plans to speak with a specialist before deciding what comes next.
Amy believes she could need two operations, covering her stomach and arms.
She said: “It’s massive surgery and it will be a long recovery.”
She expects the experience to feel emotional and overwhelming. Amy has said she was overweight for as long as she can remember.
Amy added: “It’ll be the first time I’m able to wear a bikini since I was nine years old!”
After moving from size 26 to 18, she has also found clothes shopping less restrictive. She previously hated shopping with friends because her choices were limited to the plus-size section.

Amy Tapper credits Mounjaro and regular exercise
Amy says her weight loss has combined Mounjaro with regular exercise across her two-year transformation.
She has worked with the same personal trainer for five years and continues visiting the gym. Speaking to the Daily Mail, Amy said exercise makes a major mental difference to her week.
Amy has taken a 15mg weekly dose since February, after working upwards from 2.5mg.
Some online critics have accused Amy of cheating because she uses the medication. She has pushed back by stressing that treatment sits alongside years of gym work.
Amy has also used exercise in an effort to tone some loose skin.
