Before

My name is Rosanna. I’m a 30 year old female and I had my surgery with Professor Senapati 17th October 2020. I had a Gastric Bypass.

So far I have lost 7 stone and gone down from a size 26 to a size 14.

My quality of life since my surgery is just a thousand percent better.

* Get diabetes into remission – my diabetes was just so out of controland had begun to affect my eyesight and the feeling in my feet and hands * Have a baby – we had secondary infertility after having our sonwhich was put down to weight loss.

Within 3 weeks of my surgery my HBA1c level had gone down by around 40 points. At 6 months my HBA1c was down from 91 to 25.

At 6 months post op I unexpectedly fell pregnant and I have recently given birth to a healthy baby girl, Lily, who weighed 7lb 15oz at birth and is perfectly healthy.

Professor Senapati from the start was extremely caring and made me feel heard and listened to. We talked about my reasons my life style and my aims and decided bypass was the best option for me. The team kept me informed of all the stages and were at the end of the phone for if I had any question regarding the liver reduction diet or pre op.

On the day professor Senapati made me feel completely at ease and I completely trusted he wanted to do what was best to get a an amazingresult and he didn’t fail!

Thankyou to prof and the team – not only did you save my life but you gave me life in respect to my returned fertility.
