Change doesn’t happen overnight, but it often starts with one clear moment. For Kathleen, that moment came in 2022, when she decided it was time to take control of her health and her future. With the support of Mr. Javed and the Phoenix team, her weight loss journey went far beyond the numbers; it brought back her energy, her confidence, and even her passion for adventure.
Today, Kathleen is a living testament to how weight loss surgery can unlock new possibilities, whether that means improved health or, in her case, racing motorcycle sidecars with her daughter.
The Decision to Change
Like many patients, Kathleen approached weight loss surgery with a mix of hope and uncertainty. “I had my consultation with Mr. Javed in 2022, who explained the whole process about weight loss surgery,” she says. “He made me feel at ease from the moment we started talking. He did explain that it is a long road—but possible.”
That honest, compassionate approach is something we pride ourselves on at Phoenix Health. Weight loss surgery is not a quick fix, it’s a journey, and we’re there for our patients every step of the way. For Kathleen, that reassurance made all the difference.
Weight Loss Surgery Before & After
Personalised Care Every Step of the Way
What stood out to Kathleen wasn’t just the clinical expertise, it was the care, communication, and empathy she received. “Mr. Javed met me on the day of my surgery and went through the process again to make sure I understood and was happy to continue,” she recalls. “Under his care, the operation was a success.”
Kathleen’s smooth recovery meant she was able to go home just three days later, already feeling like her life was beginning to change. But surgery was only the beginning.
Ongoing Support That Matters
A successful outcome isn’t just about what happens in the operating theatre, it’s also about the team behind you after the surgery. Kathleen found immense value in the continuous aftercare support she received.
“The dietitian explained everything to me and is still at the end of the phone if I need any advice,” she says. That access to guidance and reassurance is a cornerstone of the Phoenix approach. We don’t just discharge you, we walk with you through the ups and downs, providing tailored aftercare support for nutrition, mental wellbeing, and physical recovery.

A Stunning Weight Loss and a Stunning Life
The numbers alone are inspiring: Kathleen lost over 10 stone and is now maintaining her new weight with pride and consistency. But what truly brings her story to life are the moments that can’t be measured on a scale.
“I’ve gone from a couch potato to racing motorcycle sidecars with my daughter,” she says with a smile. That shift from feeling limited to living life at high speed, embodies exactly what we strive for: giving people their lives back in ways they never imagined.
Her renewed energy, confidence, and connection with loved ones are as vital as the weight loss itself.
