Grainne Maycock

I had my gastric bypass performed by Mr William Robb 10 months ago. I am now 38 KG lighter with another 11 kg to go! I had been recently diagnosed as diabetic, which was a shock and something I wanted to reverse. I left the hospital no longer diabetic and delighted with my choice.

My whole body is so much stronger, and I have regained my passion for exercise and life in general as well as a somewhat unhealthy – but fun – fashion obsession. I couldn’t be happier with the results!

Thank you to Mr Robb and team for making this such an easy process. Surgery can be daunting, but Mr Robb was able to answer any questions or concerns I had and really made me comfortable and made sure I had a full understanding of the whole process before I underwent surgery.

I couldn’t recommend the team enough; they changed my life and I couldn’t be more grateful for them giving me back my fitness and vitality.

One of my fears pre-surgery was if I would or could enjoy food the same way as I am a foodie… I need not have worried. I spend half of my time in France – gastro capital of the world – and I enjoy every meal, baguette and pastry (although I eat a lot of fish, chicken and veg too). Wine in moderation and exercise 3-5 times a week.

My energy levels are back to those of my 20’s and my skin and eyes are back to a more refreshed me. People comment on my vitality and zest for life. I am now a yoga and pilates junkie as well as a muscle and weights aficionado.

This, to me, felt like a healthy reset, setting me back on the healthy path for a long, fun life. No scars (unless you count one the size of a paper cut). And a team that is phenomenal at what they do. I travel a lot with work, and now my fitness apps and fun travel with me.
