Transformation Update: 3rd March 2022

This week, we celebrate the successful weight loss of Charmaine Hedger. Here’s her story:

My name is Charmaine and I have struggled with my weight for over 10 years. I was feeling ashamed and embarrassed by the way I looked which stopped me from being social and I couldn’t exercise anymore. My blood pressure was high and walking up a set of stairs was hard.

With the support of my husband, I decided the Gastric Sleeve was my best option for a healthy new start. I rang WLSA and got an appointment the very next day! They were all so friendly, helpful and supportive – I knew I had made the right decision.

Fast forward 8 months and I look and feel healthy, I’m happy, bubbly out there self again, but more importantly, I have learnt that it’s not just a fad diet. WLSA has given me the tools to understand the importance of nutrition, a healthy mindset and keeping active.

🩸My blood pressure is down 110/75

🚴🏼‍♀️I ride my bike 10-20kms

🚶🏼‍♀️Daily walks

🧗🏼‍♀️I can climb mountains now, not just a set of stairs

Food is not the enemy because now I feel confident in making healthy choices. I feel like I can finally achieve all my goals – I’ve done this and I’m proud but I’m forever grateful to all the team at WLSA!
