A woman who had weight loss surgery after ballooning to 22st says people should be aware that going under the knife is not a cure-all - after she developed another eating problem post-op. Tisjana Woodward, 27, decided to have a £3,500 gastric sleeve procedure in Turkey after her portion sizes got out of control.
The surgery was a success and, in the immediate aftermath, she lost 8st. But Tisjana, from Stratford, east London, then found her previous food problem had been replaced by another: binge eating.
Her weight now fluctuates and she finds herself skipping dinners and main meals for small snacks like crisps and cheese. Tisjana, who rents out properties, has described her problem as a "transfer addiction" - and says people need to be aware surgery is not a remedy for all ills.
