Salma, a beloved Moroccan TikTok influencer known by her online moniker Zawjat Tipou, has sadly passed away following complications from a gastric bypass surgery. The tragic incident occurred on Sunday night at a private clinic in Turkey, where the influencer had traveled for the procedure in hopes of overcoming years of health issues and body shaming.

With over 1.5 million followers on TikTok, Salma had become a familiar face to many for her candid, humorous, and inspiring content. But behind the laughter, she endured a long battle with severe obesity, a condition that not only affected her physically but subjected her to constant online bullying.

In her final days, Salma shared emotional videos from her hospital bed, revealing the pain she was going through and the toll the surgery had taken on her body. Her vulnerability in those moments touched thousands across the internet, drawing a wave of empathy and support from followers across the globe.

Unfortunately, what was meant to be a life-changing operation turned fatal. Salma’s sudden death has sent shockwaves through the influencer community and sparked renewed conversations about the risks associated with weight-loss and cosmetic surgeries performed abroad especially in countries known for medical tourism.

Critics and healthcare professionals alike are now calling for stricter regulations and better awareness around these procedures, which are often glamorized on social media without proper information about the potential complications.

Salma leaves behind a young child and a heartbroken family, along with millions of fans mourning her loss. Her story is a tragic reminder of the dangers that can come with chasing beauty standards and seeking solutions through unregulated medical options.

Her passing should not be in vain. Stories like Salma’s must be shared widely not to scare, but to educate.
As social media continues to influence personal decisions, especially regarding body image and health, it is crucial to prioritize safety, thorough research, and professional medical guidance over trends.
