The journey so far. I've actually lost 98kg/216lbs/15st4lbs in total from when I was at my heaviest in 2021. I don't want any 'well dones', that doesn't sit right with me. You wouldn't say well done to someone recovering from any other type of chronic disease. You might wish them well, but not well done. I didn't beat this through disciplined dieting and excessive exercise. In truth, that is what got me onto the escalator towards obesity. There is more to it, of course, but I've lost a huge amount of weight that way in the past, and it always found me again. My body was fighting against me, and it was a fight I'd always lose. Following a long conversation with my eldest niece in 2021, I made the biggest decision in my life to seek medical help. The day I checked in at GBObesitas in Malmö, Sweden, that bright November day in 2022, my life changed forever. The journey is still ongoing, but I can't quite put into words how grateful I am for the team at - thank you 💐💐💐

My gastric bypass surgery was ten months ago. In the last six months, I have been collaborating with GB Obesitas in Malmö, Sweden, to help patients in the UK access surgery in Sweden supported by S2 funding (basically, the NHS funds the treatment). It has been gratifying helping others to receive the help they need through supporting patients with their S2 funding applications....

Getting gastric surgery wasn't an easy feat for me. The NHS system seemed like a maze, making getting the support I needed challenging. After completing the tier-3 treatment, I was told the waiting time for surgery was 3 to 5 YEARS.

There was no way I'd risk my health further, so I finally had my gastric bypass surgery at GB Obesitas in Malmö, Sweden. The surgical team there is one of the best in the world, and the nursing staff is magnificent. They were a pillar of support throughout the process. I thought it'd be great to share my experience with others who would consider going to Sweden for a gastric surgery.

Dr Broden at GB Obesitas is the man to talk to! His information meetings are a safe space to learn about the biological and metabolic processes that make weight loss challenging. He'll also take you through the different surgical options and explain any risks involved. All questions are welcome!

GB Obesitas accepts private patients and referrals through the Swedish state healthcare system (equivalent to the NHS). So, the good news is that if you meet the criteria for having gastric surgery under the NHS, you can apply for S2 funding from the NHS. If successful, they will pay for your treatment in Sweden.

If you want to explore this option, I invite you to a Zoom Information Meeting on Thursday, 11 October 2023, at 7 pm GMT. Hosted by Dr Broden, Gastroenterologist, Operations Manager & CEO of GB Obesitas.

My journey to gastric surgery was rough. I found that the NHS is making it very complicated to get the help you actually need. The short end of it is that I eventually ended up having my gastric bypass done in Malmö, Sweden. The clinic, GB Obesitas, has arguably one of the world’s best surgical teams within the field. I felt well looked after, the nursing team was friendly & caring, and I felt supported going through a personal event....
