Mum-of-two who ballooned during lockdown loses ten stone so she can go on rides with her kids

A mum-of-two lost 10 stone so she could take her kids to Disneyland and be able to fit on the rides with them. Natasha Burt has transformed herself so much that some people she knows no longer recognise her.

The 36-year-old says she has always been nig but her weight really crept up during lockdown, where she got to a size 24 and tipped the scales at 21.9st. Determined to take control of her life, Natasha decided to book herself in for a £2.7k mini gastric bypass in Turkey in July 2021.

She says it’s “the best thing I’ve ever done in my life”, and now weighs 10st 13lbs and wears a clothes size 12. She now is able to get back to swimming and running 5k.
