3 readers tell the story of their dramatic weight loss in Woman’s Own.
Our own Patient Care Coordinator Julie Stansfield appeared in the piece. Her gastric bypass transformed her life, giving her a new body and a new career, as she subsequently joined the company to help other overweight patients get into shape with the help of weight loss surgery.
Julie had the operation in May 2008 and over the following year lost 9 stone. She now weighs a skinny 8 stone 6lb.
Julie says “Shrinking from a size 22 to a size 10 has meant for the first time in years I feel confident and sexy. And now I’ve even got a new career from my new body. I’ve started advising women who are battling the same issues with food that I had. It’s great to be helping people to lose weight and I just hope that one day I can help them to feel as fabulous as I do now!”
