Amber Rachdi, known for her appearance on My 600lb Life, has undergone a transformation that’s nothing short of astonishing. Back in 2015, at just 23 years old, Amber weighed over 47 stone—around 660 pounds—and everyday life was a struggle. She relied on her family and boyfriend for basic assistance, facing challenges that threatened both her independence and her health.
The wake-up call came when Amber realized the grave danger her weight posed. Determined to reclaim her life, she made a bold, life-changing decision. Traveling 2,000 miles from home, she underwent weight loss surgery, committing fully to a new path of health and self-reliance. With a gastric bypass and strict adherence to bariatric methods, Amber shed more than 30 stone—roughly 420 pounds—transforming her body and her life.
