Seen our new Sky ad? We’re so proud to have launched this in December, knowing that in 2026 we’ll be helping so, so many people change their live, just like these lovely four Ambassadors.

Four journeys. One theme: choose your health and back it with a team. 💙

Corrinne went from 299 lb to 182 lb and is back horse riding 2–3 times a week.

Kirsten says her sleeve “saved my life” and calls our aftercare “worth its weight in gold.”

Rich dropped 15 stone and found the confidence to run races and train hard.

Pamela lost 10 stone and says life finally feels effortless, with energy and confidence back.

This is what happens when surgery meets support! With The Tonic Method you get surgeon-led care plus years of real humans in your corner: dietitian, psychotherapy, fitness coaching, nurse support, surgeon reviews, app and toolkit.

If you’re ready to find out if this is right for you, book a free, zero-pressure consultation today. 🫡✍️🙏

Merry Christmas, Tonic Family 💙

Wherever you are on your journey, today is about people, not plates.

Please remember to enjoy this time!

Celebrate the wins that do not fit on a scale. Playing on the floor with the kids. Walking after lunch. Taking the photo and liking the memory. Choosing yourself, kindly, one plate at a time. If today feels easy, brilliant. If it feels wobbly, that is human.

Tomorrow is another day and your team is with you for the long run. 🫡🙏

From all of us at Tonic, thank you for trusting us with your health. Here’s to a calm day, a warm table, and a year ahead that feels lighter in all the right ways. 💙

From 299 lb to 182 lb. Sleeve with Tonic. And a life she can simply live. 💙

“Tonic not only saved my life, it now gives me the chance to go and simply live..”

Corrinne’s words tell the story:

“Life before weight loss just felt difficult… Yo-yo dieting and losing 2 or 3 stone each time always felt great, but I struggled to keep the weight off.”
“My most successful attempt was with Saxenda, I lost 4 stone… once I came off it, I gained all the weight back, plus another 3 stone over the next two years. I was the biggest I had ever been at 21.7st.”
“I used to binge on sweets and cakes… my biggest addiction was sugary drinks… around 10 cans of Coke and 5 or 6 energy drinks a day.”
“Walking, being outdoors, and horse riding were all a struggle… they don’t even make riding clothes in a size 24.”

Why she chose Tonic:

“The website, the social media, the content creators online and the recommendations just instantly made me feel this is the company I want to explore with.”
“No question was too big or small and best of all there was no pressure.”
“Mr Richardson… talked me through different options and then said for someone like me this will change my life.”
“A sleeve is a tool that I have had to work with to get amazing results… my 9st loss is proof of that.”

Life now:
“I am now riding 2/3 times a week and the happiest I have been in 25 years.”

If you are where Corrinne once was, we will listen first, explain options clearly, and only move forward if it is right and safe for you. Free consultation, zero pressure. ✍️🫡🙏

Here’s exactly how a Gastric Sleeve could change YOUR life too, just like it did for 👇

“4 years since I had my Gastric Sleeve with and Dr Simon Dexter. I say this year and year and at every opportunity but having the surgery literally saved my life and gave me the life I always dreamt of having.”

“I’ve picked the best company to go with and the aftercare was a huge element in that and boy has it been worth its weight in gold. Also the fact I had THE COOLEST surgeon ever!!!”

“I’ll forever shout about my surgery and and how my life has done a full 360 for the better!”

Earlier in her journey, Kirsten shared how she’d “dedicated her entire life to slimming world, the gym, weight watchers” before choosing a sleeve in 2021 and losing over 7.5 stone, even celebrating her wedding and honeymoon bikinis. 🫡

Just under 10st down and a whole life unlocked. Pamela , we are so proud of you 💙

In her words:
“Since having surgery, I feel happier, healthier and more confident.”
“Life after my gastric sleeve feels effortless. Being slimmer has changed everything, my mobility is better, my mental health has improved tenfold, and I’m no longer permanently exhausted.”
“The reduction in pain has genuinely been life-changing. I wake up feeling energised, capable, and excited for the day ahead.”
“And if I’m honest… I can’t help but wish I’d done it sooner.”

Why she chose Tonic:
“I didn’t want to take a risk and go abroad, I wanted an experienced, knowledgeable team who I could trust to support me, because I knew this journey was going to be tough.”
“One of the biggest selling points for me was the 5-year aftercare plan. Knowing I wouldn’t be left to figure everything out alone gave me confidence and security.”
“But honestly, it was the very first phone call that changed everything. They were warm, engaging, honest and for the first time, I felt heard.”
“With Tonic I felt supported. I was listened to. And most importantly, I was given a practical solution that helped me lose 10 stone and completely transform my life.”
“Choosing Tonic was the best decision I ever made.”

Wow - introducing, your 2025 .official Queens!

We have spent the past week (and long before that) in awe of these two. Jessie Andrews and Pamela Philips are truly the epitome of grace, kindness, and generosity, and have always been.

It has been a real pleasure to watch them step into their power and prove, again and again, that they can show up for themselves, especially after choosing to take back control of their lives with bariatric surgery.

We honestly couldn’t be prouder to sponsor both as they lead from the front, cheer for others, and carry the spirit of this community with true class. 💙🫡🙏

Jessie Andrews | Miss Bariatric 2025

A big cheer and round of applause please (with tears in our eyes!) 👏

Richard took his life back, with our Gastric Sleeve.

“Weight-loss surgery opened so many windows of opportunity for me… I emerged as the confident man I had always hoped to become.”

Stats:
Start 28st 8lb → Now 13st 8lb. Total lost 15 stone (210 lb).

Before:
Everyday tasks felt impossible. Stairs. Bins. Shoelaces. His health was sliding fast with breathing issues, heart concerns and early signs of liver disease. He was offered antidepressants that increased his appetite and left him stuck.

After:
He broke the cycle. Health symptoms reversed. He runs races, lifts for Hyrox, trains because he wants to, not because he “should.” Freedom is the headline.

Why did Richard choose Tonic?
A surgeon spent 40 minutes on the phone walking Rich through every option so he could decide with clarity. He chose us for safety, honesty and long term support. Our aftercare taught him how to fuel, move and stay consistent so results last.

Rich’s message to anyone on the fence:
Tonics commitment to lifelong aftercare was another deciding factor. I didn’t want a quick fix; I wanted lifelong, lasting transformation. Tonic offered exactly that - a structured path where education, support, and long-term wellbeing come first.”

Proud of you, Rich. Truly. This is what 15 stone of determination looks like. 🫶🏼

Here’s a breakdown of each surgery type 👇

In general, what does weight-loss surgery actually changes? Smaller stomach volume, ghrelin lower. That means fuller on less, food noise quieter, and for many, insulin sensitivity improves.

SLEEVE

About 70 to 80% of the stomach is removed to create a narrow sleeve. No intestines are rerouted.
How it feels: small portions satisfy you fast, hunger signals are quieter, reflux can improve for some and worsen for others. You learn slow bites, protein first, and timing sips. Vitamins advised long term.

GASTRIC BYPASS (Roux-en-Y)

A small stomach pouch is made and connected to the small bowel.
How it feels: strong early fullness and powerful impact on reflux and blood sugars for many. You must eat slowly, avoid high sugar or you may feel “dumping” symptoms. Lifelong vitamins are essential.

MINI BYPASS (OAGB)

One longer pouch with a single bowel connection.
How it feels: similar to bypass in fullness and metabolic benefits. Often chosen for higher BMI patients. Same slow eating rules and vitamin needs.

GASTRIC BAND

An adjustable ring sits around the top of the stomach. No cutting of the stomach or bowel.
How it feels: mainly restriction. Appetite hormones are not reduced, so mindset support matters. You may need band adjustments. Eating too fast or large bites can feel tight. Weight loss tends to be steadier and slower.

GASTRIC BALLOON

A soft balloon is placed in the stomach for 6 to 12 months, then removed.
How it feels: early fullness and portion control without surgery. Best as a kick start alongside coaching and habit changes. Results depend on the plan you keep after removal.

After any procedure 👇

Week 1 to 2 liquids, Week 3 to 4 purée, Week 5 to 6 soft foods, then gradual variety. Walk early, eat protein first, chew well, and time drinks around meals. Our named team supports you for 5 years.

Judy’s update has us grinning ear-to-ear. 🫶🏼

Sleeved in June 2021 with Mr Awad, she’s now just 3lbs away from an incredible 18 stone lost - and still shouting out the whole Tonic team for being there every step of the way. “My surgeon saved my life. I owe him and Tonic everything.”

If you’re where Judy once was - tired of starting over - our coordinators can talk you through options, timelines, and aftercare so you can decide in calm, not pressure.

Yes, you can still enjoy Christmas dinner after bariatric surgery 🎄
It’ll just be smaller, slower and more mindful. Here’s your festive cheat-sheet:

• Start small: side plate, tiny forkfuls, long pauses.
• Time your sips: no drinks 30 mins before/during; sip again ~30 mins after.
• Protein + soft veg first: turkey/veg protein, then well-cooked carrots, swede, sprouts; sauces in small amounts.
• Pudding swaps: custard, trifle, yoghurt pots — share a portion or save the rest.
• Remember the point: enjoy the people and the day, not the quantity on the plate.

If you’re earlier in recovery, take a “you-friendly” option (soup, purée, yoghurt) and follow your team’s plan - reach out if you’re unsure, that’s what your aftercare is there for! Timelines vary person to person.

Save this for Christmas week, and if you want to talk through your own timeline, book a free consultation with Tonic today.

Recovery myths make this feel scarier than it needs to be, so let’s set the record straight 💙

Myth: you are bed bound for weeks 👇

Fact: most patients are up and walking day 1. Little and often. Short hallway laps. Movement helps healing and mood.

Myth: you will never eat “normal” food again 👇

Fact: portion and pace change, not joy. Protein first, tiny bites, long pauses. Foods come back in stages. You will learn what works for your body with real guidance, not guesswork.

Myth: weight loss surgery is purely cosmetic 👇

Fact: it is metabolic too. Stomach volume is smaller. Ghrelin, the hunger hormone, often lowers. For many, insulin sensitivity improves. That is why food noise gets quieter and “white knuckle” dieting becomes less of a thing.

What this looks like with Tonic
✍️ Daily nurse check-ins early on so you feel safe and supported
✍️ Dietitian 1 to 1 to map liquids, purée, softs, and protein targets you can actually hit
✍️ Psychotherapy to manage triggers, stress, and new routines
✍️ Fitness coaching when you are ready, starting with gentle movement
✍️ Surgeon reviews and a named team you can message any time

You are not expected to know how to do this alone. That is why The Tonic Method exists. Your job is to heal and follow the steps. Our job is to make the steps clear and support you for the long term 🫡

If you want the facts for your body and a timeline that makes sense, book a free consultation. No pressure. Just honest answers and a plan that puts your safety first 🙏
