Is bariatric surgery worth the risk- words from a patient:

I learned the weight of minutes
when time pressed its knee into my chest,
when even thought arrived tired
and left before finishing its sentence.

There were days my body felt like a locked room
with the key swallowed by the walls.
Pain spoke louder than language.
Fog replaced my name.

And then—
not thunder, not a miracle trumpet—
but a soft return.
A chair that didn’t hurt.
A morning without negotiation.
The radical luxury of boredom.

Energy became a kind of sunlight
I carried in my pockets.
I noticed how thinking feels like flight,
how choosing is an act of freedom,
how ordinary is secretly holy.

Now I am greedy for the world.
I want streets and classrooms and trains at dusk.
I want to be late, to be lost,
to be young without my body interrupting.

I am no longer surviving—
I am arriving.
At days.
At movement.
At the simple, unbelievable fact
that I am here
and I get to live.

So I went to AI and asked for an image to show the amount of fat I've lost...
I don't know how accurate it is in visualizing the 104kg I've lost but this is scary 🤮 and amazing at the same time ⛓️‍💥

So this happened…

I stepped on the scale over the weekend and realised I’ve lost 101.3 kg since starting my journey in November 2024.

My brain couldn’t compute it, so naturally… I asked ChatGPT for a visual. 🤷‍♀️

Turns out, for years I was basically walking around with a fridge strapped to my back.
And honestly - with how often we’re supposed to eat now…
I might just need to strap the fridge to my body instead. 😂

For everyone just starting their journey: it is possible. It does work.
And it might just be the best decision you ever make for yourself.

A year ago, I couldn’t even imagine losing 5 kg…
and here we are. 🤍

From this to this !!!! You can all do this 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 Not always easy but so worth it !!!
