For this episode we are welcoming back my incredible friend Jess Lawton who you might remember from episode 22 “When no one notices you have anxiety”.
But this time around she is sharing a completely different story about her journey to the stage of under going bariatric surgery and what the process was like.
For those who don’t know Bariatric surgery is a weight loss measure that affects the stomach and how food is digested.
This surgery is shrouded in a lot of mystery because those who undergo it are often accused of ‘taking the easy way out’ when it is anything but that.
In this episode Jess shares:
- Her early journey with weight and her body
- How the fertility journey set her on the path to bariatric surgery
- The long process of researching the surgery
- How much she had to prepare and what the surgery was like
- Exactly what she is limited in doing after having the surgery
- How people treated her differently after the surgery
- What she learnt from the journey
Key Quotes
“The risk of major surgery is not something you put your body through lightly.”
“I’m in control of my thoughts, but that also means that ‘I’ am in control of my thoughts.”
