A woman lost more than 10 stone and halved her dress size after undergoing a gastric bypass abroad. Aimee Takacs, 32, now credits the surgery with helping her feel less self-conscious and more confident.
She travelled to Latvia where she paid around £5k - saving over half on the £13k she was quoted for the surgery in the UK. After shrinking from a size 22 to 8, she said she feels more confident and only wishes she had made the change sooner.
Aimee, of Doncaster, South Yorks., who underwent surgery in September 2021, said: “I’ve been known to wear jeans on the beach before because I was so self-conscious. I’ve lost so much time not doing what I want to do, I’m not getting that time back.
