Recovery after weight loss surgery is not a finish line.

The first week is about healing, rest, and allowing your body time to recover. Progress can feel slow at this stage, and that is completely normal.

Over the first few months, patients begin adjusting to new eating patterns, changes in energy, and daily routines. This is when habits start to form, with guidance from the care team.

As the first year progresses, weight loss often stabilises and focus shifts away from the scales. Nutrition, movement, confidence, mental wellbeing, and how life feels day to day become more meaningful markers of success.

In the years that follow, ongoing aftercare matters. Plateaus, lifestyle changes, and evolving health needs are part of long-term change, not signs of failure.

Surgery is a tool, not the end point. Sustainable outcomes come from time, support, and realistic expectations, not quick results.

If you want to understand recovery timelines and what long-term success really looks like, our team is here to talk you through it with honesty and zero pressure.

Fiona’s update is a powerful reminder that weight loss surgery is about more than the scales. It is about regaining health, confidence, and freedom.

She chose gastric bypass surgery with Tonic around three years ago after reaching close to 21 stone. Having never focused on exact numbers, Fiona estimates a loss of around 154 lb and has been maintaining her weight for over a year.

Today, Fiona lives an active, adventurous life, enjoying hiking, open water swimming, and kayaking. Her energy and mobility have improved, she feels confident and comfortable in her own skin, and moving from a size 22–24 to an 8–10 shows just how far she has come.

With continued support from the Tonic team, Fiona has stayed focused every step of the way and is proud of the life she has built.

Jessica’s experience shows how the right support can change everyday life.

After enquiring, Jessica booked her surgery within three weeks and describes the process as calm and stress free, with clear communication throughout. Her surgery took place in December at the Derby Private Hospital, where she felt supported and well cared for.

Since starting her journey, Jessica has lost 5 stone 8 pounds. As a 24 year old mum to a three year old daughter, the changes have already made a real difference to daily life, from playing at soft play to enjoying activities she could not do before.
She describes feeling happier, healthier, and supported at every step, with regular check-ins from the Tonic team helping her feel reassured throughout her recovery.

If you are considering weight loss surgery and want support that continues beyond the operation, our team is here to talk you through your options and aftercare with honesty and zero pressure.

Jessica’s [](https://www.instagram.com/mygastricbypassjourney2023/) update is a powerful reminder of how life-changing this journey can be, especially when it is driven by hope, health, and family.

She had her RNY gastric bypass surgery on 22 July 2023 after reaching a breaking point with pain, mobility, and fertility struggles. A moment at a concert where she could not stand due to pain, combined with her desire to become a mum after weight-related ovulation issues, led her to take this life-changing step.

Since surgery, Jessica has lost an incredible 10 and a half stone. Her recovery was smooth, which she credits to carefully following every instruction from the Tonic team.

Today, her biggest transformation is becoming a mum, something she once believed might never be possible. She now enjoys everyday freedoms like walking for miles, sitting comfortably, wearing clothes she loves, and living without constant discomfort. Dropping from a size 28 to a size 12/14, she feels healthier, happier, and more confident than ever.

The moment she discovered she was pregnant confirmed she had made the right choice, and every day since has reinforced it.

If you are feeling unsure, Jessica’s advice is simple. Do it for yourself and your future. The journey is challenging, but the reward is life-changing.

Tara’s journey shows what long-term support really looks like.

From start to finish, Tara felt informed and reassured, with clear communication at every step of what she knew would be a big life change. Having the right support early on helped take the worry out of the process.

Now two years post-op, she continues to feel supported by the Tonic team. The aftercare has remained consistent, personal, and available long after surgery, which she describes as second to none.

She is now 13 stone down and living a life without the restrictions she once faced.
If you are considering weight loss surgery and want support that lasts beyond the operation, our team is here to talk you through your options with honesty and zero pressure.

Injection weight loss and bariatric surgery are not the same.

Weight loss injections can help suppress appetite and support short-term weight loss while the medication is being taken. For some people, this can be a helpful starting point.

However, injections do not permanently change stomach anatomy, hunger hormones, or underlying metabolic drivers. When medication is stopped, appetite and weight regain are common for many patients.

Bariatric surgery works differently. It creates lasting physiological changes that affect hunger, fullness, and digestion, which is why it can be more sustainable when combined with structured aftercare and long-term support.
Neither option is right or wrong. Injections are not a failure. Surgery is not for everyone. The safest and most effective choice depends on biology, medical history, and long-term health goals.

At Tonic, we focus on honest conversations, surgeon-led recommendations, and support that continues long after the initial treatment.
If you are weighing up injections versus surgery, we will talk you through suitability, risks, costs, and aftercare so you can decide with clarity and confidence.

Felicity’s update is a powerful reminder of how life-changing this journey can be when a wakeup call leads to putting health and family first.

She had her gastric sleeve surgery on 13 January 2025 after a serious foot injury forced her to confront how much her weight was impacting her life. Despite ongoing concerns from her family, it was this moment that made Felicity realise enough was enough and take control of her future.

Since surgery, Felicity has achieved an incredible 8 stone weight loss, moving from 21 stone 9 lb to 13 stone 9 lb. She describes it as the best decision she has ever made.
Today, the biggest transformation is how she feels in everyday life.

Felicity says she feels like she is walking on air most of the time, with daily tasks now feeling effortless. She is able to keep up with her daughter Flo, wear smaller clothes with confidence, and finds her physically demanding role as a chemotherapy nurse far easier.

If you are feeling unsure, Felicity’s advice is simple. Change your life and do not wait. She only wishes she had done it sooner.

This patient’s experience speaks for itself.

From the very first call with Lydia, they felt listened to and supported, with time and space to make the right decision without pressure. The care before surgery, including support from the nutritionist, psychotherapist, and nursing team, helped them feel fully prepared.

Their surgery in November 2025 with Mr Alkhafaf felt calm and straightforward, and the aftercare since has been just as strong, with the team always available to answer questions.

Their only regret is not finding Tonic sooner.

Not every weight loss surgery is right for every person.

Gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, mini bypass, band and balloon are all very different tools, designed for different medical needs.

Some options may be recommended to support appetite control. Others may be safer for people with reflux, metabolic conditions, or specific health considerations.

This is why surgery should never be a one-size-fits-all decision.

At Tonic, patients do not choose procedures. Our surgeons assess medical history, physiology, and long-term health before recommending what is safest and most appropriate for each individual.

Weight loss surgery works best when it is matched to the person, supported by structured aftercare, and guided by clinical expertise rather than trends.

If you are unsure which option might be right for you, we are here to talk you through suitability, risks, and long-term support with honesty and zero pressure.

Bethany’s update is a powerful reminder of how life-changing this journey can be when it starts with health, family, and self-belief.

She had her gastric sleeve surgery on 29 April 2023 after realising how much her weight was affecting her daily life and health. Long workdays left her struggling physically, and concerns from her family pushed her to make a change so she could be there for them.

Since surgery, Bethany has achieved an incredible transformation and has been maintaining her weight for around a year. Her recovery went smoothly, and she stayed focused by carefully following each post-op stage and tracking her nutrition.

Today, the biggest change is her confidence. Bethany exercises regularly, runs 5Ks, and is training for a 10K. She feels happier, more comfortable in her body, and proud of how far she has come, including conquering every rollercoaster at Alton Towers after being turned away years ago.

If you are feeling unsure, Bethany’s advice is simple. Trust your gut and do it for yourself.

Clare’s update is a powerful reminder that real change takes time.

She had her surgery in January 2022 in Leeds, starting at 20st 7lb. After years of health challenges, including type 2 diabetes and joint pain, Clare chose Tonic when she was at a low point and ready for change.

She lost 6 stone in her first year and, despite setbacks along the way, found her way back with the help of Tonic’s aftercare, including dietitian and counselling support. Now at 12st, her lowest adult weight, Clare feels healthier, more active, and full of confidence. Her diabetes is diet controlled, she enjoys the gym and pilates, and she is doing things she once thought were impossible.

If you are tired of starting over, our coordinators are here to guide you through your options and long-term support.
