Patient stories

Demi always struggled with her weight and used to use food for comfort. She'd tried various slimming diets, but nothing worked so she decided to get a gastric band. “My mind was made up, and I just decided to go for it. I was a bit nervous on the day of the operation, but I was excited too.”

Managing my food is no big issue any more, because food is something I eat to survive. No longer am I surviving to eat.

Lucy lost an incredible 10st 4lb through the aid of a gastric bypass, and is often not recognised by friends or family members she hasn’t seen for a while. She says, “It has been the best thing for me and I’m so glad I got the surgery when I did. After trying multiple diets, I knew I was ready to commit to it.”

My name is Shannon. I’m 25, and I had a gastric bypass in December 2019 with Transform Hospital Group. I am 9 months into my weight loss journey and so far I have lost an amazing 9 stone!
