A crisp addict who gorged on a multipack per day has lost seven stone after gastric sleeve surgery.
Snack enthusiast, Melissa Jones, 38, saw her weight rocket after munching 24 packets of crisps a day, as well as eating fast food at least three times a week. Unable to stick to diets or lose weight naturally, Melissa, then a size 24 and weighing 19 stone, decided enough was enough after not being able to fit in a pedalo seat on holiday with her young sons.
After returning home in October 2013, she started looking into getting surgical help to shift her weight. Melissa visited her GP who suggested she applied for a gastric sleeve and she was put on an NHS list.
