Weight Loss: Jade Nyhuis-Bartz

Transformation Update: 21st April 2021

This week, we celebrate the successful WeightLoss of Jade Nyhuis-Bartz
Here’s her story:

It’s been over a year since Jade has undergone gastric sleeve surgery, losing a whopping 70kg. Her journey started after suffering from planter fasciitis; a torn meniscus and back disk issues; anxiety and depression and respiratory problems including trouble breathing.

Jade’s life has changed significantly, from growing her own vegetables and herbs which she eats everyday, to being more active with her partner of 15 years, together they are doing boxing, snorkelling and walking their fur babies along the beach.

A true model star patient, we almost could not believe she is a patient when we saw her in the waiting room. Through sharing her journey, Jade wishes to inspire others and be able to help at least one person – we know she has already inspired many!

Transformation Update: 16th September 2020

This week, we celebrate the successful WeightLoss of Jade Nyhuis-Bartz
Here’s her story:

I am currently 7 months post-op, highest weight was 136kg, day of op weight was 118kg, current weight 75kg! I hit my goal and haven’t felt this great in years!


So much hard work and the roller coaster. OMGOSSHHH. But I’m getting there. I’m going to the gym 6 days a week now and loving it! Thanks everyone for all your help and support. the journey is not over yet. It has just begun!

I’ve struggled with weight all my life, done all the diets only to gain even more weight. At my heaviest recorded in the past, I was 140kg. Now that I’ve got the Gastric Sleeve as a tool, I’m so focused and so much happier. It’s the best decision I have ever made!


Not to mention that everyone at WLSA has been amazing with their support! I’ve gone from a size 24-26 to 12-14. Wearing men’s clothes either 3 or 4 XL (44) to s-m (32). I cannot wipe the smile off my face.

I have fallen off the wagon and I’ve had many stalls, suffered some mental health issues with this too. But with determination and the help from the group at WLSA, I’ve been able to pick up and keep going. It’s definitely not been easy and the journey isn’t finished yet!

This week, we celebrate the successful WeightLoss of Jade Nyhuis-Bartz
Here’s her story:

October 2019 I was at my heaviest, weighing in at 130kg. My current weight is 83kg! The 9th January 2020 was the day of my surgery. I’m 5 months post-op now and loving every moment of this journey.

When I decided to have this operation at WLSA, I weighed in at 126kg, that was November 2019 – since my operation, I have lost 35kg! Only 8kg away from my goal weight #TotalTransformation.

Feeling fantastic and enjoying the ability to exercise now with ease and no pain. Thank you WLSA for all the help throughout this process!
