Weight Loss Latvia Patient Journey
Laura (UK)
Hi Ilva. I hope you are keeping well. Monday will be 3 years since my gastric bypass. I wanted to reach out as this time 3 years ago I was getting ready to take a flight that was going to change my life. I remember how I felt before boarding that plane and looking back on photos from that time has made me so emotional. Boarding that plane to Latvia is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Since then I have lost 12 stone, I am healthy and active in a way I could only have dreamt of before. My life has improved in every possible way and I am happier and have so much confidence. Today I am getting ready to board another plane to head on holidays, half the size I once was. Knowing that when I sit on the plane later I will not need a seatbelt extension is such a celebration for me today, as well as my suitcase full of size small clothes 🥹
Words will never be able to express how grateful I am to you and Dr Olegs for giving me my life back and giving my children the energetic and active Mammy that they deserve 🥰🥰
