Life after weight loss surgery
Life after weight loss surgery
Weight loss surgery is personal journey, and our patients choose it for many different reasons. While every patient has their own dreams about life after weight loss surgery, many tell us how much they are enjoying the following things.
PLAYING WITH CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN
Being able to play with their children or grandchildren is a great motivation for many of our patients. After losing weight, dozens of our patients have told us how much they love having the energy and improved range of movement to sit on the floor, chase after the kids, and enjoy time at the playground. Maintaining a lower body weight means that it is easier to move around. It can also improve the feeling of being out of breath after a slight exertion.
CLOTHES THAT FIT
Putting on clothes that not only fit, but also look great, is an exciting part of the weight loss journey. Some of our patients love the new variety of clothes that they can fit into. Others enjoy the ease of not having to get clothes altered or especially made. From bathing suits to jackets, and even footwear, weight loss makes a huge difference to many people’s self-esteem. For patients who aren’t especially keen on clothes shopping, the trill is often in digging out that favourite outfit that has been sitting in the back of the wardrobe for years, and having it fit once again.
GOING FOR A SWIM OR HAVING A MASSAGE
Quite a few of our patients say that they now enjoy going for a swim or having a massage. Taking time for self-care is more enjoyable when it is easier to move around. Being comfortable in a bathing suit and not feeling self-conscious about obesity are both wonderful parts of life after weight loss surgery.
BEING COMFORTABLE ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Many overweight people report feeling uncomfortable when they travel on planes, trains and buses. Being able to fit on a single allocated seat with room to spare is a favourite experience of many weight loss patients. Air travel in particular is much more enjoyable as patients can use the standard seatbelt and can comfortably use the tray table in front of them.
LEISURE ACTIVITIES
Having the energy and freedom to do favourite leisure activities is a commonly reported benefit of having weight loss surgery. Whether it’s heading down to the beach for some water sports, checking out a concert, or just having a hit of tennis, all of these things feel better after weight loss.
