Life changing stories
My life before WLS
Life before weight loss surgery
Everyday living had become a quiet battle. Even the smallest tasks—climbing the stairs, taking out the bins, tying my shoelaces—felt like mountains I no longer had the strength to climb. My health was deteriorating rapidly; my weight brought on breathing difficulties, heart issues, and early signs of liver disease.
I had lost all hope. I turned to food for comfort, only to watch the endless cycle deepen and my health decline further. Fortunately, weight loss surgery has helped to fully reverse all those health symptoms.
When I sought help from my GP, I was only offered antidepressants that ultimately only amplified my appetite and left me feeling more trapped than ever. I felt stuck in an endless loop with no way out. Weight-loss surgery broke that cycle.
Weight-loss surgery has given me so much freedom. I can finally do the things I once believed that I never could. I’ve embraced an active lifestyle, becoming not only sporty but competitive—running races, training hard, and even taking on weight lifting Hyrox events that once felt way far beyond my reach. The surgery has given me the confidence to really go for it.

Why Tonic?
When researching weight loss surgery companies, Tonic consistently stood out from the rest. I still remember the day the surgeon called me to talk through my options. For forty minutes, they explained every procedure and process with clarity and care, making sure I understood everything and if it was right for me. Before the call ended, I was already certain that Tonic was the team I wanted beside me for this life-changing step.
Tonics commitment to lifelong aftercare was another deciding factor. I didn’t want a quick fix; I wanted lifelong, lasting transformation. Tonic offered exactly that – a structured path where education, support, and long-term wellbeing come first.
Through their aftercare program, I’ve learned how to nourish myself, stay active, and live a balanced, sustainable healthy lifestyle. I now feel fully prepared to live the rest of my life healthy, happy, and full of confidence.

Chanelle Hayes Tonic journey with a gastric sleeve
“Before weight loss surgery, I couldn’t cope with doing anything strenuous and I couldn’t spend time with my children in the way I wanted to. My eating was out of control, and I had been yo-yoing.
A year out from surgery, I’m a completely different person. Last year, my body fat percentage was in the morbidly obese category. Now, I’m in the healthy weight category.”
