AchieveAchieve Your Dreams 10 Stone Weight-loss woman explains

how it changed her life…...

A woman who shed more than half her body weight through radical surgery has spoken about her super-slimming experience. 34-year-old Angela Chouaib lost an astonishing ten stone after having the operation in January last year.

Mrs Chouaib, from Rochester, Kent, saw her weight rocket to 19 stone after the birth of her children before she undertook Gastric Bypass surgery at St George's Hospital in London.

She said: "I was never small as a child but I put on around four stone after I gave birth to each of my kids. I would-n't say that I had a particularly un-healthy diet but I tended to eat very large portions and mainly carbohy-drates. "I tried jogging and just about every diet under the sun.

I actually flew to Marrakesh in 2008 where I was given a Gastric Balloon, which limits the size of your stomach and makes you eat less. Unfortunately it is a temporary procedure and I put the weight back on. Gastric Bypass Surgery was not something I took light-ly and was my last resort."

As a result of her massive weight loss, Mrs Chouaib was left facing a two

year wait on the NHS to remove the masses of excess skin from her heavi-

er days - a common problem for people who have undertaken such proce-

dures. After months of desperate searching and faced with the possibility

of a £12,000 operation here on home soil, she stumbled across a clinic in

Poland where it is possible to have the procedure performed at a fraction

of the cost.

In April 2010, Mrs Chouaib flew to Wroclaw in Poland under the proviso that she could meet the surgeon and that she was under no obligation.

Upon arrival and after a tour of the hospital, she was so impressed with the state of the art modern facilities that she went ahead with the procedure and has not looked back.

Now, weighing just nine stone and her life completely transformed,

she is using her experience to help others with similar problems.

The mother-of-two has now set up an online business www.SecretSurgery.co,uk offering luxury plastic, obesity & dental surgery holidays for people who cannot afford to have treatment in England.

She said: "I have not done this to exploit the market. I think it is important to offer people a solution to problems like mine. I want to dispel the image of ‘backstreet butcher' procedures and show people there is a way to deal with the issue in comfort and privacy.

“Losing the weight and the treatment that I

received has completely changed my life.

I now feel like anything is possible."
