I feel like this is who I am, and I’m not defined by my weight anymore
I thought I was a confident person before, but i’m so much more confident now!
I waited 10 years before having it done, and I really wish I hadn’t. I wish I hadn’t wasted the last ten years
You get so stuck in a rut thinking, this is it, this is me now, when actually, it doesn’t have to be
Life since surgery has been so much better. It’s had such a phenomenal impact on my mood… I now have a way of managing my weight much more successfully
“I was always quite active anyway but definitely energy wise, my energy has definitely gone up. I can walk quicker than my husband now which I find quite funny. My stamina has got better, I can do a lot more for a lot longer, so a lot of changes”
“Having the surgery was the best decision I have ever made, so far I’ve lost 7 Stone, I’m still working towards my goal but being a mummy to a beautiful little girl was the biggest gift I could have asked for.”
Aside from losing the weight, I’ve got peace of mind. My life has changed dramatically. I’m so happy and contented now, I love my life
“If you’re not ready to change your lifestyle as well, then I’d reconsider”
“I’m having a Gastric Sleeve!” I was so happy and excited. I was focused and ready to take on the world. I needed to go on a pre-op diet and lose some weight first so my surgery would go more smoothly and so the fatty tissue around my liver would shrink. I was so happy and more determined than ever to do this.
