WHY I CHOSE THE GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY
I’d tried everything, from Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and yoyo dieting to Cohens, Shakes and starving myself, nothing worked. I finally realised no matter how much money I spent on these programs, personal trainers, gyms and dieticians, the results were pathetic. Even if I did get the desired results, it was very short-term. After researching more options, I decided the Gastric Sleeve was the best option for me to lose the weight and keep it off.
Clare’s Stunning Transformation: Before & After
I couldn’t be happier with my decision to undergo gastric sleeve surgery! From start to finish, the entire experience has been transformative and incredibly rewarding.
After doing my research I decided to travel for my surgery. I wanted to access high-quality care at a more affordable price and to benefit from the expertise of a highly recommended surgeon Dr Gee.
I was initially nervous, but the thorough consultations and support from Tracey, Dr Gee and the DNY team made me feel well-prepared. They addressed all my questions and concerns and knowing my medical facilitator Tracey had been on the same journey really put my mind at ease.
The surgery itself went smoothly, I received unfaultable care during my stay at Sunway Medical and the recovery was much easier than I expected. I was back on my feet in no time and was pleasantly surprised by how manageable the post-operative pain was. Following the prescribed diet and exercise plan was important, but with the support from Tracey and the team it felt manageable and even motivating.
The results have been nothing short of amazing. I’ve lost over 30kgs since April 2023, and I’m continuing to see progress. This journey has positively impacted my mental health and confidence! Simple things like shopping for clothes and participating in activities I used to avoid have become enjoyable again.
It has led me to have significant improvements not just physically, but emotionally and psychologically as well. The changes in body image, energy levels, and overall health have contributed to better self-esteem and allowed me to be the active, involved mum I always wanted to be.
In summary, gastric sleeve surgery has been a life-changing decision for me. It has not only helped me achieve significant weight loss but also drastically improved my health and quality of life. If you’re considering this procedure, I highly recommend it—ensure you do your research and have a strong support system in place. It’s an investment in your future self that’s truly worth it!
GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY oF tASH
Gastric sleeve surgery has been a transformative experience for me. Its not about losing weight – although that has been significant, but about gaining a new lease on life. I have more energy, confidence, and a sense of control over my health. Everyday tasks that used to be daunting are now manageable, and my overall well-being has improved dramatically. The arthritis in my feet has eased, I now walk without pain. This surgery has given me the tools to live a healthier, more active life, and I’m truly grateful for the positive changes it’s brought.
I chose to travel to KL in Malaysia as a friend told me about Destination New You and how great her experience was. Tracey (owner of Destination New You) was exactly as described and I felt safe knowing that Tracey had been through the exact same process. Tracey was always available to answer any questions or concerns and I have felt very supported through the entire process.
The team in KL are amazing. Dr Gee was so thorough and explained my surgery and how to maintain weight loss down the track. Rowena my support carer was like a mum. She is so caring and takes care of everything. The entire process from start to finish was nothing short of amazing. I could not have received the care in Australia that I received through destination New You.
WHY DID I CHOOSE TO HAVE THE SURGERY OVERSEAS?
Instead of wasting any more time being miserable and not living my life, I decided to proceed with the Gastric Sleeve and started researching my options for the procedure.
In Australia I would have had to take out 12 months of private health insurance, with additional out of pocket expenses from $7,500 – $8,900, or I could proceed with self-funding the procedure from $19,000 – $30,000!
As I’m a frequent traveller to Bali, I did some research for their surgery options, and sent an enquiry to a medial travel facilitation page. After I received quotes for both Bali and Kuala Lumpur, I chose to travel to Kuala Lumpur for my surgery. For under $12,000, including flights, accommodation, surgery, post-care and administration costs, I got the procedure done with no issues, and six weeks from the quote.
TWO AND HALF YEARS POST OP
Two and a half years later, I’m now participating in life again rather than being the spectator. My health has improved 100%, I no longer snore, and haven’t taken any pain medication for my arthritis in over a year. I don’t shy away from photos with my family and enjoy going to my children’s school events. My eldest daughter recently got married and looking for a dress for her wedding wasn’t a dread, and I didn’t cry once in the change room. Now, I don’t have to hide from the spotlight, I could dance all night and join in with everything. I don’t have to make excuses anymore to leave the house, I love going out for dinner with friends and going clothes shopping. No longer am I the picture taker, I can document my holidays in photos of my family and myself, and swim outside the villa’s walls. I have never been more happy or confident and my family can see this too.
