I have succeeded in many diets but I am the classic example of a yo-yo dieter. I have always managed to lose weight but I always put more weight on afterwards, which was so frustrating! The idea of weight loss surgery first came to me when I was watching a TV documentary on the topic, and I thought instantly, That’s for me!:

Support from my family and friends

“My family and closest friends have been fantastic and so supportive, especially my gorgeous wife who I could not have not done this without. Some people have been a bit negative in regards to my weight loss, which to be honest is quite comical as who’d have thought I would ever hear people comment, “you are looking a little bit skinny!” People didn’t believe I had the will power, but I have proved them wrong!”

“What I really love is being able to walk into any high street male fashion boutiques pick up a t-shirt from the rack and already know it’s going to fit me! It doesn’t sound exciting to your average person but for someone who has always struggled when buying new clothes, even from a young age, it’s great! I look forward to enjoying simple things such as attending my sons sports day, and entering the dads race!”
