Danielle Cabralis thrilled with the results of her tummy tuck.

On Friday, theReal Housewives of New Jerseystar posted a YouTube video documenting herself getting the cosmetic procedure and her recovery journey. The 38-year-old was all smiles as she revealed her results after previously being “insecure” about the “wrinkly” excess skin she had on her stomach.

“After 2 C-sections, healthy dieting and INSANE workouts, there was nothing left that I could do to get rid of my excess skin,” Cabral wrote onInstagramabout the big reveal. “There wasn’t a magical pill (I wish) I could take for it to disappear. It wasn’t going anywhere unless I had the medical procedure known as a ‘tummy tuck.’”

She added, “🗣I would like to emphasize that I put in countless amounts of work and my body was in the best shape right before I had this procedure. Simply put, there was nothing left to do.”

During a live taping of PageSix’sVirtual Reali-Teapodcastlast week, Cabral slammed people who were using Ozempic for weight loss and didn’t actually need it, claiming they are limiting the supply for those who actually need it.

Ozempicis an FDA-approved prescription medication for people with type 2 diabetes. It’s one of the brand names for semaglutide — also known asWegovy— which works in the brain to impact satiety, and has become increasingly popular for its off-label use for weight loss.

“I was with somebody today, a very dear friend of mine, who actually needs [Ozempic] for medical reasons, and cannot get it because of this stupid, bulls— behavior,” Cabral said at the time. “But she can’t get it, she can’t get it… run on a f—ing treadmill.”

Underneath her recent tummy tuck video, one follower told her, “Maybe someone like yourself who shamed the Ozempic use as the easy way out should also apply that to yourself. If it makes you feel good and makes you happy, that’s what matters. So if it applies to you, it should apply to all.”

“Never shamed ozempic if used the right way,” Cabral replied. “The issue for myself is there is no easy way out. That’s where my comment came from. Eating whatever you want, taking a pill and dropping a ton of weight is just not normal. If you eat unhealthy then your body will be unhealthy. That’s all.”

“Ozempic not ok but plastic surgery is ok. Got it. 🙄” another critic commented.

“You missed my point. It was for ppl abusing it,” Cabral insisted. “Ozempic is great. Just can’t think of it as a miracle and the only solution. Gotta put in some work, too.”
