After piling on the pounds, the new mum booked in for weight loss surgery at what she believed to be a reputable clinic, in January 31, 2022. “I was nervous but I had already booked it all and didn’t feel like I could pull out.After the procedure to remove a large part of her stomach, leaving just a thin sleeve, she woke to find herself ”uncontrollably vomiting” and feeling extreme dehydration.
