I decided to have surgery after struggling with dieting all my life and gaining weight during Covid. Having my little boy and finding out he has cerebral palsy led me to comfort eat and experience postnatal depression.
I knew I needed to do something for my health to ensure I’m here for as long as possible to care for my son.
I chose Streamline after reading their fantastic reviews. I liked that they are based in the UK and partnered with Vitality, my health insurance provider, to help lower the cost.
Streamline have been great! The whole process, from enquiring to having my surgery, was smooth, and the additional support from nurses and dietitians has been excellent.
They’re always there if I need anything or have any worries.
Life has been great. The journey has had its ups and downs, but I feel so much healthier and happier, and I’m able to care for my son without struggling like I did before.
I see my life being healthier and longer thanks to having surgery, and I feel like I’ve been given a second chance.
