A mum who suffered from gall stones was shockingly told by her dietary consultants that she wasn't eating enough to lose weight. However, she went on to defy odds, and lose six stone in order to get life-changing surgery.
Valerie Lunt, 65, was initially told by doctors that she needed to lose weight after suffering from stomach pains.
But after the pains persisted, Valerie was sent by her GP to get scans. They showed she had been suffering gall stones, and was told she would need to reduce her BMI in order to be eligible for gall bladder surgery.
