Hi Hun You have done incredibly well thus far, please don’t be negative. I think for the vast majority of bypasses who undergo the journey there will be an element of weight gain but once you have reached your goal I would just recommend that you weigh yourself once a week (same day, same...

Hi, I went private via the Spire at Leeds. I did contemplate going abroad and saving a few 1000s but was rather concerned about after care. Give your local Spire a ring ~ I am sure they will be happy to talk things over with you. Good luck with your journey.
