"I have always been on the overweight side"

My Weight Loss Journey

Where do I start?

I’ve never been a light person; I have always been on the overweight side.


I married my amazing husband and the father of my kids, but sometimes I didn’t want to be on this earth because I felt I didn’t deserve to be with this fantastic family.


I’ve always been on a diet of some sort. Always losing weight but never enough. Then, always putting it back on. It got to the point where I was hating myself, and not in a good way.


After having kids, it just got too much for me. I couldn’t handle always being exhausted, not wanting to do anything with my kids. It really took it out of me, and I needed to make a change.

I Woke Up and Took Weight Lose Action


Wake Up

One day, I woke up and knew I had to act. So I looked into weight loss surgery. The decision process took me two years. I wasn't rushing into anything, and I was so glad I'd found a fantastic doctor I knew was the right one for me.


I’ve now lost 45kg since my op, eighteen months ago.

I’m a new person.

My life has changed very much for the better.


My New Life

I want to say that I am a by-the-book person when it comes to my special dietary needs after surgery. That includes recording my food intake and running 5 km a day. I could never do that before, but I can now, and I’m glad.


I’m proud to say to anyone that I’ve had gastric sleeve surgery, and I work hard to keep everything how it should be.


Thank You, Dr Maani
