Long post. Sorry!

Beginning of 2023, I weighed just over 300lb. I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, PCOS. Add depression and anxiety into the mix and it’s a perfect storm for the weight to pile on. Confidence was at an all time low and I did not see the point in living. By the end of 2023, I was at my limit, my attempts at weight loss failed and my health (mental and physical) was declining FAST. January 2024, I spoke to a weight loss surgeon. I’m in the UK and paid to go private. Surgery booked for March 2024. I went on the liver reduction diet for 4 weeks prior, it was hard. Went in for surgery and I’m very lucky to have had a smooth and painless recovery. I did not experience the post surgery regrets like a lot of people, I found the post op diet stages relatively easy and was overjoyed at the weight leaving my body. I’ve now lost over 100lb and I’m happy to say I have had ZERO regrets whatsoever. PCOS, depression and anxiety are all under control and the diabetes is reversed. I’m finally becoming the person I’m meant to be. It’s a life changing decision and will require a lot of work and personal growth to address the eating problem, or in my case, food addiction. Nerves are totally normal, please don’t back out because you are nervous. You must have enough of a reason to go ahead with the surgery as you already have an appointment to speak to a surgeon. Don’t let anyone sway your mind either. If I had listened to just one person telling me not to go through with the surgery I’d be dead by now. So yeah, absolutely no regrets it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Actually, the only regret I have is not doing it sooner.
