Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhaylov, captain of BetBoom Team, has opened up about the real reason behind his dramatic weight loss—he underwent gastric bypass surgery. In a candid moment, the CS pro shared that doctors removed 70% of his stomach, a risky operation he stayed quiet about until now. “It’s scary,” he admitted, “but this was a decision I made to save my health.” Boombl4 had the procedure done last summer and spent two tough months recovering, surviving only on water and chicken broth while dealing with stitches and pain.

He explained that his weight issues came from hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid doesn’t produce enough hormones to regulate metabolism. Despite trying diets and workouts, the weight kept coming back. “I’d lose 5–7 kilos in a month, then gain it all back in a few days,” he said. At the time of the surgery, Boombl4 weighed 186 kg. Now, he’s dropped to between 93 and 97 kg and says life feels much happier. The road hasn’t been easy, but for Boombl4, it was a necessary step to reclaim his health and future.
