90 Day: The Single Life star Veronica Rodriguez continues to shed weight after her shocking weight-loss surgery earlier this month. Veronica is a 39-year-old woman who was best known as Tim Malcolm’s ex and best friend when she debuted in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 3. Over time, Veronica became popular in her own right. She developed a huge fanbase, taking Veronica’s Instagram followers to more than 373k. Veronica kept making appearances with Tim in other 90 Day Fiancé spin-offs.

Veronica took a chance and began dating Kim Menzies’s son, Jamal Menzies, in 90 Day: The Single Life season 4. As the relationship progressed, she realized he was just a playboy and wasn’t serious. By October, Veronica managed to get her work done while recovering from surgery. She kept details of the procedures hidden for the longest time and is finally comfortable sharing them with fans who want to see the differences between the pre and post-surgery Veronica with before and after photos.

Veronica has been sharing pictures that show her weight loss. She’s lost weight both on her body and face. Veronica has also been discussing her recovery with fans. She said that her tummy was swollen, but she could finally sneeze without feeling like her “insides” were coming out. When a fan told Veronica that she didn’t need anything, she replied, “I know, but I’m so much more comfortable now.” Veronica was trying to have a “little less meat” which she was tired of tucking into her pants and such.

Veronica also addressed her comparisons with Loren, who also underwent a full-body mommy makeover. She told the 90 Day: The Single Life viewer that she and Loren had different procedures with different providers. Meanwhile, a different post had her lashing out at those who questioned her choice. Veronica declared that she didn’t do the surgery “for Tim or for Loren or for you or for men… I did it for me.” Veronica said that they didn’t have to agree with her choice, but it’s her body and she had made a choice for herself.
