I decided to lose weight because I was out of breath walking stairs, could only fit into size 20 clothes, and the tipping point was being classified as a diabetic. With a family history of diabetes, my mother had complications and passed away at the age of 66. I was determined not to face the same outcome.

I heard about The Slimming Clinic through Streamline Services. After undergoing a gastric bypass in April 2022 weighing 15 stone. I managed to get down to 10.10 stone through healthy eating, but found my motivation dipped. I wanted to lose weight to reach my target of 8.10 stone.  I phoned The Slimming Clinic to see if I could take the Wegovy injection.  I had heard about the injection and was hopeful that this would assist me in reaching my final target.

In the past, I had tried various weight loss programmes like Slimming World and Weight Watchers, and while I managed to lose weight, it was often regained. The Wegovy injection, combined with a Slimming World diet plan, has been transformative. It has helped me reach my goal weight of 8.10.

Wegovy is a fantastic tool.  It really is simple to inject yourself – you really don’t feel a thing. I was nervous at first, but the process is very easy and the instructions are simple to understand. I was also worried about side effects.  Fortunately, I have never experienced any side effects since being on Wegovy. Wegovy curbs your appetite – I really could not believe it! I am only able to eat a much smaller meal (a quarter of what I would of had before).  I still follow the Slimming World, high protein, high fibre diet and they really do go hand in hand. Wegovy has helped me to lose the weight steadily over the past 6 months. There is an expense to the injections, but it has been worth the amount. You cannot put a price on your health and emotional wellbeing.

I really never struggled since taking Wegovy. Wegovy gave me the incentive (not wanting to eat as much) and I was able to see the results immediately. I have lost weight consistently since being on Wegovy. I would highly recommend this as a fantastic tool to losing weight. I probably should have tried this method before embarking on the journey of a gastric bypass.
