Amy Schumer has revealed she now weighs 170 pounds after undergoing liposuction surgery.
The comic revealed her weight loss surgery as she posed in a bathing suit on the beach in photos posted Tuesday.
‘170 pounds’ Amy wrote in bold font in one of the two photos shared to her Instagram Stories.

In a separate post containing the exact same bathing suit photos, Amy reflected on her health journey and thanked all those who helped her along the way.
‘I feel good. Finally. It’s been a journey thanks for helping me get my strength back @seckinmd (endo) @jordanternermd (lipo) never thought i would do anything but talk to me after your uterus doesn’t contract for 2.5 years and you turn 40. @paulvincent22 vickie Lee (acupuncture) my girl Nicole from the tox my friends and fam. Let’s go!’ she captioned a bathing suit snap of herself.
The mother-of-one has long been vocal about her battle with endometriosis – a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb starts to grow in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
The condition can cause considerable pain for sufferers and have an impact on fertility.

Last year she revealed she underwent a hysterectomy and appendectomy in order to treat the condition.
While one treatment for endometriosis is surgically removing the uterus, the treatment is controversial as a hysterectomy leaves you unable to get pregnant and it’s not always a cure — the condition and related pain can return.
The Snatched star has previously spoken about her experiences with endometriosis in the past, which caused complications when she gave birth to her son, Gene, in 2019.

Schumer recalled that her condition had made her cesarean section much harder during an episode of the Informed Pregnancy podcast.
She stated: ‘Even through the birthing centre has an operating room and doctors at the ready… my instincts were just like, no.
‘I was throwing up through the whole first hour of my C-section. It’s supposed to take about an hour and a half or something but mine took over three hours because of my endometriosis.’

The writer went on to note that, although the process was strenuous, she felt that it was worth it after she saw her son for the first time.
‘It was kind of brutal, but Chris was so great—we just stared in each other’s eyes and he just held me there,’ she said.
‘Then they let me hold Gene for a good amount of time. I got to see him and hold him.’
Schumer then underwent IVF treatment in a bid to conceive a second child.
In-vitro fertilisation, known as IVF, is a medical procedure in which a woman has an already-fertilised egg inserted into her womb to become pregnant.
It is used when couples are unable to conceive naturally, and a sperm and egg are removed from their bodies and combined in a laboratory before the embryo is inserted into the woman.

Once the embryo is in the womb, the pregnancy should continue as normal.
The procedure can be done using eggs and sperm from a couple or those from donors.
However, Schumer admitted in August 2020 that she and Chris had decided against expanding their family because the process had been so ‘tough’ on her.
She said: ‘We did IVF, and IVF was really tough on me. I don’t think I could ever do IVF again.
‘I decided that I can’t be pregnant ever again. We thought about a surrogate, but I think we’re going to hold off for right now.’
Schumer documented her pregnancy in the miniseries Expecting Amy, which was released in 2020.
The show chronicled the Trainwreck star’s life as she got married, embarked on a cross-country tour and discovered she was expecting a child.
The project received widely positive reviews upon its release, with many critics commending the performer’s choice to be upfront and honest about her health issues.
