My Gastric Bypass Story – A Life Reclaimed

Just over a year ago, I made the decision to have gastric bypass surgery—and it has completely transformed my life.
I’ve now lost over 6 stone, and for the first time in years, I feel like myself again. But more importantly, I’m in full remission from type 2 diabetes—something I never thought I’d be able to say. That alone has been life-changing.
This journey hasn’t just been about weight loss. It’s about gaining back my health, my confidence, and my future. One of my proudest moments was signing up for the woman’s mini marathon —something I wouldn’t have even dreamed of before surgery.
Gastric bypass isn’t a quick fix—it’s a tool. It requires commitment, patience, and ongoing self-care. But the rewards? They’re beyond worth it. I’m more active, more present, and more hopeful than I’ve been in years.
To anyone considering this path: don’t be afraid to take that first step. You’re not giving up—you’re taking control. And you deserve a life where you feel strong, healthy, and truly alive.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. William Robb and his entire team. Your expertise, compassion, and support have given me a second chance—and I’ll be forever grateful.
