Mum-of-five who 'yo-yo dieted whole life' sheds eight stone after Turkey trip for gastric operation

A mum-of-five who has been on a 'yo-yo diet her whole life' has shared her jubilance after losing eight stone. Hayley Matthews can now wear size 14 dresses with ease and is enjoying a more active lifestyle since the surgery in October 2021.

Hayley had weight management problems from a young age. She had her first child at 17, which is when she started to gain weight that would not come off.

With each successive pregnancy, the 47-year-old's weight increased to 21 stone. It was an agonising bout of gallstone pain that set Hayley off onto her weight loss journey, reports BirminghamLive.
