Men’s Mental Health and the Life-Changing Impact of Weight Loss Surgery

Men’s mental health is an often-overlooked topic, yet it’s a vital part of overall well-being. For many men, the struggle with weight and its impact on self-esteem, confidence, and mental health can be overwhelming and isolating. At Tonic Weight Loss Surgery, we’re committed to raising awareness about how bariatric surgery can be a lifeline for men grappling with the physical and emotional toll of obesity.

Paul’s Story: “Tonic Gave Me a Life and My Kids a Dad”

Before surgery, Paul felt trapped in a cycle of disappointment and missed opportunities. He hid behind a happy façade but avoided activities like swimming with his kids or going on trips with friends. Despite trying every diet and weight-loss solution, nothing worked.

Paul’s Tonic Experience

Paul chose Tonic for its stellar reputation and was immediately impressed by his consultation with Mr Awad. “I got an instant rapport with him. No one else compared,” Paul recalls. He opted for a gastric band and hasn’t looked back since.

Life After Surgery

Paul’s transformation has been nothing short of remarkable:
  • Weight Loss: Over 10 stone lost
  • Mental Impact: “Life before surgery was fake. Now, I’ve got my life back. I can take my kids swimming, go on holidays, and do the things I should’ve done years ago.”
  • Gratitude: “Tonic has given me a chance to give my kids a dad and me a life. I will be forever grateful.”

Treatments We Offer

At Tonic Surgery we offer a wide variety of bariatric surgeries:

Marc’s Story: “I Never Let My Weight Bother Me—Until It Did”

For Marc, weight was never a major issue until it started limiting his life. On a trip to Los Angeles, he couldn’t fit on theme park rides due to his size, which peaked at nearly 25 stone. That moment became his turning point.

Marc’s Tonic Experience

Encouraged by his fiancé, Marc researched Tonic and decided to take the leap. “Everything fell into place from there,” Marc shares.

Life After Surgery

Marc now enjoys a new lease on life, free from the limitations his weight once imposed. His story is a testament to how bariatric surgery can open doors to opportunities and experiences that once felt out of reach.

The Connection Between Weight Loss Surgery and Mental Health

For Paul, Marc, and Adrian, weight loss surgery didn’t just transform their bodies—it restored their mental well-being. Shedding the physical weight often means shedding emotional burdens too. The physical changes brought newfound confidence, while the ability to enjoy life’s moments without limitations boosted their happiness.

Whether it’s taking the kids swimming, fitting on a theme park ride, or simply feeling good in your own skin, these victories are priceless.

Adrian’s Story: “I’ve Lost Over 15 Stone—It’s Been Life-Saving”

Adrian’s weight had reached a point where everyday activities became a struggle. Tying his shoes left him breathless, and he knew it was time for a change. With Tonic, Adrian underwent a gastric sleeve surgery and began his life-changing transformation.

Adrian’s Tonic Experience

Initially nervous about his first-ever surgery, Adrian felt reassured by his surgeon and the care he received at the Newport hospital. “I was looked after really well,” he recalls.

Life After Surgery

Adrian’s results speak for themselves:
•Weight Loss: Over 15 stone lost
•Physical Changes: “I can exercise much more, go running, and do everyday things without feeling out of breath.”
•Mental Well-Being: “It’s shocking to look at old photos—I never realised how big I was. This has been completely life-changing.”
Adrian recommends Tonic to anyone considering wls weight loss surgery, praising the aftercare and support: “I tried all the fad diets, but this is what worked for me. Tonic saved my life.”
