Hayley’s Weight Loss Story

Life before surgery - My biggest weight was at the start of my LRD, which was 20.02 stone and I was a size 22–24. Life was miserable and so restricted! I suffered for a long time with my back, which resulted in being on a lot of high painkillers that ended up numbing my mood/emotions. I also had a lot of time off work due to my back. My personal life probably did get affected! Luckily, I have an amazing fiancé, who loves me for me and has stuck by me through everything, but being so u...

Katrina’s Weight Loss Story

Life before surgery - Before surgery, I was 18st 5lb and a dress size 18–20. I had tried all weight loss diets and I was so unhappy that I never wanted to go out. My health was really bad, and I’ve been living with a damaged lung and steroids, antibiotics and painkillers every day of my life. My Tonic experience - My experience was exceptional: 200 out of 200 from start to finish. I had a bypass and during surgery, Tonic went above and beyond. I cannot recommend them enough. My su...

Harriet’s Weight Loss Story

Life before surgery - Before surgery, I weighed in at 20st 5lb and a dress size 18–20. I used to be comfortable in my own skin. I was slim previously, but I was in several toxic relationships and became an emotional eater. I gained weight fast! I lost my self-confidence and feeling of self-worth in allowing myself into these toxic situations. I never felt good enough for anyone. I joined Slimming World 6 times; I’d lose 3 stone and then put it back on again when taking breaks like holid...

Kelly’s Weight Loss Story

Life before surgery - I had been yo-yo dieting since about the age of 12, always losing a bit but inevitably putting it back on, and more besides. After having my son and going to work full time, I never found the time (or energy) to exercise, and my food choices were based around speed and ease than nutritional value. Health-wise, I was fine, but I had low confidence and felt very self-conscious in social settings. I just didn’t have the confidence to be who I wanted to be because o...

Kennedy’s Weight Loss Story

Life before surgery - I had spent my whole life being overweight, from a young child, all the way through my teen years and into early adulthood. I tried every single diet, pill and lifestyle change I could read about and nothing stuck. I had thought about weight loss surgery but was very hesitant and nervous. My Tonic experience - I did some research and discovered Tonic. From day one, they were supportive, informative and just lovely to talk to. No question was silly to them a...

Chanelle’s Weight Loss Story

Life before surgery - Before surgery, I couldn’t cope with doing anything strenuous and I couldn’t spend time with my children in the way I wanted to. My eating was out of control and I had been yo-yoing. I’ve been every size of clothes you can think of, from a size 4 to a size 20. I got into an unhealthy cycle of binging and emotionally eating. It really impacted on my weight and overall health. This directly impacted on my job and my life, and I lost all my happiness. My Tonic exper...

Rachael’s Weight Loss Story

Life before surgery - I weighed 20st 11lb before surgery and my dress size was 20–22. I felt so down about my health and size. I was not confident at all and would never go out with friends. I actually had inflammation in my feet, where it hurt to walk around. I struggled putting weight on my feet, it was so painful. Mentally, it got to me as well. At work, I would be tired all the time and would be out of breath walking up and down the stairs (which was very embarrassing). I didn’t rea...

Vicky’s Weight Loss Story

Life before surgery - Before surgery, I weighed 20st 3.5lb, or 128.6kg, and was a dress size 30. I felt lost. I would look in the mirror and not recognise myself. My self-esteem was non-existent and I no longer took pride in myself as I felt it was pointless. I hardly ever went out to socialise, and any attempt at even gentle exercise would leave me in pain. Even bending down to tie my shoelaces was an effort and hurt. I had no energy to play properly with my children, which was heart-breaki...

Marc’s Weight Loss Story

Life before surgery - I have always been a happy person. I never let my weight bother me as such, but I went to LA a few years ago with some friends and we went to some theme parks and there were rides that I couldn’t fit on because of my size. I was nearly 25 stone then and that’s when I thought that I needed to do something. I tried doing all the Weight Watchers and the Slimming Worlds and nothing stayed off. I was recommended Tonic by my fiancé and I looked into it and it all went fro...

Jasmine’s Weight Loss Story

Life before surgery - Prior to my surgery, I was nearly 25 stone and I was ill. I had diabetes, sleep apnoea and I’d need an extendable seatbelt every time I flew. I was a girl in my 20s and I wanted to go travelling and see the world but I really felt my weight was holding me back and it was embarrassing. I had tried various different weight loss programmes and diets – you name it, I’d tried it! My Tonic experience - I had a gastric sleeve in June 2019 with Tonic and so far, I’...
