A mum of three who ballooned to 20st 5lb and says she looked “like a bear” after having her youngest child finally feels sexy thanks to losing 9st 2lb in two years. Ruth Geary also had a £6k “mummy makeover” including implants for her “loopy” breasts following the mammoth weight loss.
With an increasingly serious weight problem, exacerbated by a hormonal condition which saw her needing to shave her “beard,” Ruth Geary’s wake-up call came in December 2019. The mum ran upstirs only to feel so ill she thought she was dying from a heart attack.
Diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in 2008, a hormonal condition that can cause facial hair, infertility and weight gain, full-time mum Ruth, 37, soon saw her waist expand from her super-slim size 8 to a 10 and was plagued by facial hair that battered her self-esteem. But it was in 2014, after Mela, eight, was born, that her weight – which had been creeping up – really soared, also causing her breasts to develop differently, with the right an F cup and the left a D.
