A disheartened mum has revealed how losing nine stone after having bariatric surgery has left her feeling more 'broken' than she did before. Sami Mannings had ballooned to over 27 stone before she underwent weight loss surgery in Lithuania in November 2021 to 'fix' herself, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Despite initially being ecstatic about her new size when she returned to her family home in Wallasey, the mum-of-four who suffers from a binge eating disorder suddenly realised how difficult it was going to be to not put it all back on. The mum explained that the first few months after her surgery were 'euphoric' as she finally thought she was going to have a normal life but admitted that the 'mental side of it was awful'.
However, the 34-year-old opened up about her later 'soul destroying' realisation as she said she looks 'in the mirror and I feel like I look just as disgusting as I did before'. Having lost such a huge amount of weight after three caesarean sections, she has been left with a build-up of excess skin around her stomach and on her arms.
