Life changing weight loss surgery

West Coast

Hello ,

My name is Courtney mcalister. I am 25 years old. For as long as I remember I have been struggling with my weight. I have tried diets, pills and exercise. Yet I still can not shed the weight. After numerous doctor appointments I have been recommended to have a gastric sleeve. Unfortunately I do not qualify for public funding as I do not have any weight related health issues

Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical weight-loss procedure in which the stomach is reduced to about 15% of its original size. Doing this weight is lost because it causes you to feel fuller earlier after eating, largely due to the smaller size of the stomach. The procedure also reduces some appetite stimulating hormones produced by the stomach. Apart from this effect, the stomach digests calories and nutrients in an almost normal way.

Being overweight has seriously effected my mental health as well as the way I see my body. I I often feel like a lost soul who is trapped. This would be a life changing surgery.

I plan to have surgery at Auckland weight loss clinic as soon as possible
