A schoolteacher has been able to wear a bikini for the first time after losing 83kg and having 4.5kg of excess skin removed.
Desperate dieter Mallory Buettner, 29, underwent a gastric bypass surgery two years ago after her weight reached almost 190kg, helping her to shrink to 84kg.
On June 30, to complete her transformation, Mallory had a tummy tuck and brachioplasty to remove 4.5kg of loose skin from her stomach and arms.
Having never worn a bikini before, even in her own garden hot tub, the delighted teacher celebrated by purchasing five new two-pieces.
But she paid a price for her new body — including surgery complications, and having to call off a wedding to her ex-fiance who struggled with Mallory’s new life.

Now the brunette from Quinte West, Ontario, Canada, is opening up about “life after going under the knife” to encourage other weight loss hopefuls to ask for help.
Mallory said: “I had never worn a bikini in my life, and I dreaded to put on a bathing suit even in my own hot tub in the back yard.
“I live in a bikini now. I wear one every day, I am a bikini bum.
“After the surgery, I went out and bought five bikinis.
“For the first time I feel like the outside matches the inside.”
Weighing 4.08kg at birth, Mallory’s weight has been an issue her entire life.
At just 10 years old she had reached 90kg, which ballooned to 130kg at 18, and by the time she graduated university aged 20, Mallory hit 166kg.
