My advise to anybody that goes for the surgery is listen to your team and your body!

After

Before

I had my gastric sleeve surgery on the 1st September 2021 with Prof Senapati at the BMI Alexandra Cheadle.

I am now just over a year post op and I have to say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made!

My whole quality of life is better, I’m much more active and confident, nothing fazes me anymore.

The care of Prof and his team were amazing, I wasn’t the easiest patient to deal with as I struggled with the gas pain and nausea after surgery but within 24 hours I felt fine and went home the day after. The aftercare has been fab! Regular phone calls to check on me and how I’m doing, if I needed them they were always at the end of the phone which was very reassuring.

I had an appointment with Prof and the lovely ladies on his team this week as I’m now a year post op, and they were delighted with my results as I am!

I was also given advise on how to maintain my weight which was really helpful.

My start weight was 17 stone 13 lbs and dress size 22
I am now maintaining my weight and have been for the last 3 months at 10stone 2 lbs and a dress size 8/10/12
Which is nearly 8 stone loss!!

My advise to anybody that goes for the surgery is listen to your team and your body! It’s a lifestyle change not a diet. Being released from the diet culture after being a Yo-yo dieter for many years has made such an impact on my life and my mind, food no longer rules my life.

All I can say is Thank you! 💜
