The next time you see Mariah Carey, the songstress may look a little thinner.

According to a report from Page Six, Carey recently underwent weight-loss surgery after the singer became self-conscious about her looks. Carey reportedly had a gastric sleeve surgery done last month in Beverly Hills, Calif. after he weight had "skyrocketed."

A source claims, “Mariah has always been proud of her curves, but this summer, as her Caesars Palace residency came to a close, and then she went on tour with Lionel Richie, she noticed it became harder to dance, and she was getting a lot more criticism online from body shamers.”

The source added that the singer had been "indulging in cocktails and dinners with her boyfriend" and continued, "Mariah underwent the procedure about a month ago, and she is already seeing some good results, and she feels a lot better."

The surgery involves removing a part of the stomach which makes the patient feel fuller faster. A rep for the singer declined to comment on the report. Carey had previously dropped 70 pounds after the birth of her twins in 2011 and credited a strict diet and exercise plan for the weight loss.
