Thais Carla, a 33-year-old influencer and dancer, went down a slide in a water park for the first time after losing 74 kilos with bariatric surgery in April this year. The moment occurred at Beach Park, in Fortaleza, Ceará, during a family trip to celebrate daughter Maria Carla’s ninth birthday, on November 13th. The body change allowed her to overcome her fear of not fitting into her toys, something that limited her participation in activities with her daughters.
The procedure, a gastric bypass, reduced the stomach and part of the intestine, promoting an initial weight loss of more than 200 kilos to the current 126 kilos. Thais, married to businessman Israel Reis, highlighted that the decision was aimed at health and active coexistence with Maria Carla, aged nine, and Eva, aged five. The family traveled from Salvador, where they live, to enjoy the long holiday.
