After years of struggle with obesity and trying almost all non-surgical weightloss treatment including weight management support provided by the NHS, I was feeling deflated as I could never lose my weight and keep it off. Being a diabetic I also found that I got tired very quickly while trying workout in the gym or if I went for a run.

Then came the realisation that I had to do something to stop increase of my weight or I would end up with serious complications to my health or life very quickly. My wife was supportive and we agreed that I have a consultation for bariatric surgery. I’ve heard about Prof. Siba Senapati and have listened to his seminars in the past; on calling his secretary I was able to get an appointment with the Prof for the consultation.

During the consultation Prof. Siba Senapati explained about the different gastric surgical procedures; he explained the pros, cons and risk of each procedure. From the information he provided I was able to decide on the procedure which would provide me the best benefit.

I had my Gastric Bypass in January 2021. My presurgical weight was 134Kg, I am currently (June 2022) 94 Kg. I’ve lost around 40 kilogram; for a few months after the surgery I used to get tired and felt like my strength had reduced, but now after regular exercise and following the advice provided by Prof. Siba Senapati and team I am happy to say that my strength and endurance has increased and is better than my presurgical levels. I have been able to run and workout in the gym for longer without tiring.

My trouser size has dropped from 46 inches to 36 inches now; my shirt size dropped from 19.5 inches to 17.5 inches. I feel a lot confident, enjoy life and receive a lot of complement on the weight-loss.

I have not had the need to take medication for diabetes or high cholesterol since the surgery.

Four months after the surgery my wife got pregnant and I became a dad in February 2022; having this surgery is one of the best decision I’ve ever made.
