Chumlee Had Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Back in 2018, Chumlee got the gastric sleeve surgery. As TV Shows Ace reported, Chum lost over 114 pounds with this surgery. While he lost weight, he gained a wife. In 2019, Chum married his life partner, Olivia. The two seem to enjoy beach locations and her native Hawaii.
Chumlee’s weight loss has changed his Instagram feed. He is swimming, hanging with his dogs, and works out. Although he is still wearing his customary t-shirt, collectible sneakers and loose pants, he is noticeably trimmer. He used to wear black attire, and now his wardrobe has become significantly brighter. It seems to mirror his brighter outlook on life.
