90 Day Fiance's Tyray Considers Weight Loss Surgery: What He's Said About the Procedure
Tyray first announced he was interested in having a gastric bypass surgery in February 2024.
'I did get in contact with a company based in California but does procedures in Mexico,' he said during the February 7, 2024, episode of 'The Sarah Fraser Show' podcast. 'I worked out a deal with them to get a gastric sleeve done in April.'
At the time, he said he put a deposit down for the procedure but was 'still debating' if he should go through with it.
'They want me to do it,' he told the show's host. 'I have to do the pre op in like a month but I'm probably, most likely going to do it. I think it'll be good and I got to make sure I'm good and healthy.'
While fans have watched Tyray pursue relationships on 90 Day: The Single Life and 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, he returned to the TLC franchise on season 6 of 90 Day Diaries to document his interest in having the procedure done at Central California Bariatric Surgery center.
'I really need to make these changes and do whatever I can to keep the weight off,' Tyray said in a confessional, which was shared via TLC's Instagram in April 2025. 'Because my life depends on it.'
As clips showed him contemplating the surgery, he added, 'Hopefully this will be the start to a new beginning. You know, I'm ready to look like a snack and not eat 'em.'
Shortly after TLC uploaded the clip, several people rushed to the comments section to show their support for Tyray. 'I'm so happy you are doing this in CA and not Mexico!! Good luck on your journey!!!' one person commented.
Despite expressing interest in the procedure on the show, it was not revealed if Tyray went through with the surgery. Meanwhile, he has not shared any updates about if he had the surgery done on social media.
'Gastric bypass and other types of weight-loss surgery — also called bariatric or metabolic surgery — involve making changes to your digestive system to help you lose weight,' according to the Mayo Clinic. 'Bariatric surgery is done when diet and exercise haven't worked or when you have serious health problems because of your weight. Some weight-loss procedures limit how much you can eat. Others work by reducing the body's ability to absorb fat and calories. Some procedures do both.'
Bariatric surgery and other weight loss surgeries can offer many benefits. However, 'all forms of weight loss surgery are major procedures that can pose risks and side effects.'
After people undergo the surgery, they 'must make permanent healthy changes to [their] diet and get regular exercise to help ensure the long-term success of bariatric surgery.'

Rene Kirby, actor who danced alongside Gwyneth Paltrow in 'Shallow Hal,' dead at 70
Rene Kirby, a film star best known for his role in the body comedy "Shallow Hal," died July 11. He was 70.

Kirby is survived by his mother, Janet; brothers, Ric, Daryl and Jon, and sisters Donna, Cheryl and Jean, as well as several cousins, nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.

Fact Check: Was '90 Day Fiancé' Star Varya Malina Arrested?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Rumors are circulating online that Vavara 'Varya' Malina has been arrested. Malina appeared on Season 4 of TLC's 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, which aired in 2020. She was featured alongside a man called Geoffrey Paschel, who is from Tennessee. Malina eventually relocated to the U.S. to be with Paschel. In 2022, Paschel was sentenced to 18 years in prison after he was convicted of kidnapping and assaulting his ex-fiancée. Paschel also had a criminal history, which included convictions of possession with intent to sell a controlled substance, in addition to two federal drug trafficking charges, according to a report from People. In 2020, fans called for him to be removed from the show due to the allegations against him, and over 5,000 people signed a petition to remove him from the show. Though Paschel is incarcerated, Malina has maintained her relationship with him, and four months ago, she shared a vlog on YouTube in which she speaks about Geoffrey's life in prison. In a November 2023 Instagram post, she wrote, "As many of you know, my man is currently serving time in prison. Instead of letting this situation hold me back, I've chosen to take a different path. I've decided to travel more, explore new horizons, and let the world be my guide."
