Gastric Bypass
Val Matthew’s Patient Journey
I had struggled with my weight for some time following surgeries and medical conditions that had resulted in my gaining weight. I wasn’t overweight in my thirties and early forties and always had felt that I was a slim person trapped in a fat body.
I am now 8 and a half stone lighter, no longer experiencing back pain and needing sickness from work
Prof. Senapati has helped me to change my life. I’m now 8 and a half stone lighter, no longer experiencing back pain and needing sickness from work, I’m beginning to enjoy exercising, I still love food but my relationship with food is much healthier.
Following gastric bypass surgery Pamela has not taken a single diabetic medication and her daily blood sugar levels are now within normal range!
Prior to my gastric bypass surgery on the 23rd March 2019, my diabetes was almost uncontrollable. My daily blood sugar levels were between 9-12 and my HBa1C was 96, despite being on Metformin, canaglifozine, nova rapid insulin injections 3 times a day and levimire insulin at night. My insulin doses kept rising to try and help combat my high blood sugar levels. In the end I was on 32 mg of nova rapid 3 times a day and 58mg of levimire at night.
Gastric Bypass surgery, this is my key to a happier, healthier and longer life.
Prof. Senapati is my hero. He has changed my life so much and in so many different ways. I have tried multiple variations of diets from well-known names to unknown. At first I would lose weight but gradually I would gain again. I wish I would of had Prof. Senapati’s help years ago, because as of now he has helped me get my life back on track.
Diabetes, back pain, breathless ness cured
I am now nearly 8 months post surgery (gastric bypass) and have lost an incredible 7 stone. The bypass has completely changed my life for the better. I found out just before surgery that I had diabetes, but this is now been eradicated. I no longer have back pain or struggle for breath. Nothing is an effort anymore and I am continuing to lose weight every week.
It has changed my life and my family’s life
I had my surgery 5 months ago. I have lost 6 st in weight and feel amazing. It has changed my life and my family’s life. I have not needed to use crutches since before Christmas and my mental health has improved 10 fold. My only regret is that I didn’t have this surgery sooner.
Thank you for helping me change my life
I’ve been overweight since I was 9 yrs old. My weight crept up and up with each year that passed until in 2014 I was over 24 stone or 144.6kg. I had no quality of life I could barely get up and down a flight of stairs without becoming breathless. Buying clothes and underwear was a complete nightmare that I tried to avoid at all costs.
My anxiety & depression cured. I am loving myself
I would just like to say I had my operation on 25th February 2017 and my whole experience was amazing from Prof Senapati and his team they could not do enough for me.
Gastric Bypass cured my Diabetes and I got my dream job
My name is Wendy Minshull my weight loss journey started on 6/1/16 where I was placed on the 3 tier system for bariatric surgery, It was recommended I lost some weight and attempted to do exercise for mobility purposes when my operation date came I was surprised to learn with the help of Salford Royal dieticians I had lost 3 stone.
My life has gone from strength to strength, as soon as I was able and with the words of Prof Senapati
My story starts the same as everybody else’s, I’m very very overweight. It started young and in my adolescence I had to work out 7 days per week just to maintain a good weight.
