From the moment I walked into Mr. Robb’s office at Blackrock Weight Loss Clinic, I felt nothing but genuine support.
I had struggled with my weight for as long as I could remember, but eventually, I reached a point where I no longer recognized myself. I didn’t want to be seen. I avoided family gatherings, declined invitations from friends, and shied away from cameras. Even getting dressed felt like a challenge.
On my 34th birthday, I made a decision: enough was enough. I deserved to feel happier—and my two young children deserved a version of me who felt whole and alive.
On December 13th, 2023, I underwent gastric sleeve surgery at The Hermitage Clinic. Throughout the entire journey—before, during, and after the operation—I felt truly cared for.
Now, almost 18 months later, I’ve lost 43kg (over an 3rd of my original body weight) and gained a sense of happiness I never imagined was possible. I’m stepping outside my comfort zone, trying new things, and embracing life in ways I never could before.
It’s never too late to rediscover yourself or to start putting yourself first.
