The nutrition, and dietitian’s are fantastic however the hero is the prof

Natasha Hidderley

I am 12 months post surgery and wow what a difference my life is. All my life I have battled with weight. In later years as I hit the menopause i ballooned to my heaviest of almost 24 stone. My health was suffering and my quality of life was poor. In lockdown I had Covid and was so unwell I worried I wouldn’t be able to be carried out of my home. It was my time to change and so I did. I met with the Prof having lost 2 stone myself and he agreed to do my surgery. The care I have received both pre and post surgery is second to none. The nutrition, and dietitian’s are fantastic however the hero is the prof I am now 8stone lighter and 100% healthier. I no longer feel I take up people space. I don’t worry when I go out if we need to walk somewhere whether I can do it or will I fit behind the table. I now enjoy walking with my grandchildren and going on rides. The best bit are my non scale victories of fitting in a bumper car or knowing I can walk for as long as I want. My life is mine and if you have the chance to do the surgery do it follow the guidance and you will succeed I am so proud of the journey I took and more importantly the life I lead.
