While most fans might find the actress inspiring with her weight journey and better appreciate her beauty, the actress did not have it easy while growing up and was always on the receiving end of negative comments because of her size.

The 37-year-old reportedly said that high school was a horrible experience for her because of how she was treated. Sidibe said that she only got to feel comfortable in her skin when she was 25.

Sidibe reportedly went through surgery for her weight loss. The actress was said to have undergone laparoscopic bariatric surgery, which helps obese people lose weight and look trimmer.

The "Precious" actress decided to have surgery after she and her brother were told they had type 2 diabetes. Sidibe said she did not want to bother about the health risks of diabetes and losing her toes.
