Age 50 I had struggled with weight issues for most of adult life, I had lived with chronic back and knee pain for years and had given up hope of feeling better. I existed but wasn’t enjoying life , pain was the first and last thought each day. Travelling with work was difficult , I hated planes and the stress was really taking its toll. Then in late 2024 a knee doctor asked if I had ever considered weight loss surgery in Ireland , I hadn’t and was surprised that it was an option. I submitted my health insurance details to the team in Blackrock and that was the best decision I ever made. From that point the team took over and made my journey from initial meeting with the wonderful Dr Robb , the assessments, the support team so easy that it I was completely at ease and felt so supported every step of the journey. It’s been 7 months since my Sadi-S surgery I am 7stone lighter on the scales but its the life changes that are simply impossible to measure! I live every day to the fullest, I make plans with enthusiasm and traveling is now something I enjoy.. I am still early in my journey but feeling this good and pain free after just 7months makes me feel so optimistic about what the future holds , and I can’t wait to enjoy all the things I have been missing out on. I feel 20yrs younger – Thank you to Dr Robb and the amazing team at Blackrock weight loss.
