Charley's Story

before and after gastric bypass surgery

Why did you have surgery?

A very short walk from my office to the car park got me so out of breath I was going lightheaded and nearly fainting!

I was trying to hide how out of breath I was from my colleagues who were walking with me that I would get to the point where I thought I was going to faint through lack of oxygen! My hips and knees would hurt too, and all because of my weight!!

When my BMI reached 44 I realised something needed to be done!

How has life been since surgery?

I attend a local small family run gym with a tight nit community at least 6 times a week.

I have just signed up to a 10k Spartan Race which is happening on 8th October. 

I have never attended a gym for more than 2 weeks before. I was very unfit. I am now 8 months into a gym regime and loving it! 

My anxiety about my size would never have allowed me to walk into this gym before!

My outlook on life is so much more positive.

My relationship with food is so unstressful. I finally understand what food freedom is!! I’m no longer obsessed!

How was your experience with Streamline?

Positive overall, everyone is very friendly and reassuring.

I had a terrible experience very recently in Accident & Emergency and Streamline were incredible when I rang for help in a upset (and very sleep deprived) way! They helped me and called me back and solved my problem.

I've recommended my husband for surgery, Kevin.
