Ally spent years feeling like life was happening without her. “I have struggled with my weight all of my adult life, I have PCOS and every diet I have tried just wasn’t successful.” She told us she was “always on the sidelines just looking in,” and as she was “approaching 40 and feeling stagnant and stuck in the life that I was living,” she chose change. ✍️
She met our team and had a gastric sleeve with Dr Al-Taan. In her words, “Pre and post gastric sleeve surgery the team have been fantastic, Dr Al-Taan was my surgeon.”
After surgery, “I had nurses calling me daily, dieticians, Harry the personal trainer, just a whole invaluable wealth of support there. If there is ever an issue somebody is always there.”
She loved the community too: “There is a facebook group with other members who have had surgery, I don’t think another company in the UK offers 5 year aftercare, this isn’t a quick fix this is the rest of your life. I have found them absolutely fantastic.” 🫡
Nine months later, her world feels different.
“I have lost over 10 stone and I feel absolutely incredible. I would never have dreamt to have the life that I currently have now.”
These days, “I spend a lot more time outdoors with my daughter, I go to the gym, I never turn down an invitation to go out.” And the line that makes our whole team smile: “I am not the person I used to be 9 months ago. I just want to say thank you to Tonic because you have given me back my life.” 💙🙏
