When did you decide to explore weight loss surgery?
At 240kg, I needed to take action so I could live long enough to see my child grow up and be more active in his life. Before surgery, I had thoughts of fear, excitement, guilt, impatience, and pride, but I was ready!
How important is support during weight loss?
My father was my biggest support right up until his passing 6 weeks before my surgery. The rest of my family were supportive but worried and thought it might be a little drastic, but since the surgery, they are much more supportive after seeing how quickly life has improved.
How has weight loss surgery impacted your life?
Since my surgery, my life has gotten better every day. My confidence is back. My mobility increases daily, and my son and I are living the life we have missed out on. I have embarked on my dream of becoming a chef, which is very exciting for myself and my son’s future.
How did Health Volition help you on your weight loss journey?
Weight loss surgery is not an easy fix to all life’s problems, but if you use the tools provided, your life will improve rapidly. Not everyone will be supportive, but I question their motives when they do not want me to be the best I can be. Prioritising your health means bringing a happier, healthier person to your future relationships, whether with a spouse, a friend, your child, or even if it’s for your career.
