My name is Colette, I'm 60 and from Scotland. My weight has your yo'ed since my teens to the extent that my metabolism finally gave up and, to lose weight, I virtually starved. Not sustainable. So, with my husband getting some pension cash, we decided it was time for me to get my health and wellbeing back and embarked on this weight loss journey. Folowing esearch, I quickly came to the conclusion that sleeve surgery would suit me best. A consultation at Nuffield Glasgow confirmed this and my journey began. Appointments with a Nutritionist and Psychologist followed, plus a Liver scan and other pre-op tests, until finally surgery on 23 August 2016. On my first consultation I was 270 lbs and 5 ft small. Surgery date 252 lbs and I'm currently 227 lbs. I'm a slow loser but going in the right direction. I already feel tons better and am strongly motivated to achieving my ultimate goal of 140 lbs in the coming year. Sure, it's hard, but sleeve surgery is a wonderful opportunity to help get your life back, so it will have been worth every penny of my husband's £9,999 pension contribution!
