At Phoenix Health, we believe weight loss surgery isn’t just about the number on the scales; it’s about rediscovering your quality of life. For Victoriya, who once carried over 31 stone and lived in constant discomfort, the Mini Gastric Bypass didn’t just change her weight. It gave her back her freedom, confidence, and independence. Her journey is a powerful reminder that lasting change is possible with the right care and support.
Life Before Surgery: Living with Pain and Limitations
Before her weight loss surgery, Victoriya faced severe challenges due to her weight. At over 31 stone, the simplest tasks became difficult, and physical discomfort was a daily reality.
“My weight stopped me from being able to do a lot of things, and I was in pain most of the time,” she shares.
These struggles didn’t just affect her body; they impacted her wellbeing, self-esteem, and ability to enjoy everyday life. But her decision to reach out for help marked the beginning of a remarkable transformation.
A Smooth Journey with Phoenix Health
From the outset, Victoriya felt supported by the Phoenix Health team. Our patient-centred approach ensures that every individual receives expert care, reassurance, and clear communication at every step.
“Phoenix made the weight loss surgery journey so smooth,” she says. “They have looked after me throughout the whole process.”
We pride ourselves on removing barriers, answering questions, and offering compassionate care before, during, and after surgery.
Before: 31 Stone → After: Confidence
The Day of Surgery: Calm, Confident, and Cared For
Understandably, the day of surgery brought nerves. But for Victoriya, those nerves were eased by the warmth and professionalism of the medical team.
“On the day of surgery, I felt so taken care of by the entire medical team. From the nurses who cared for me, the surgeon, the anaesthetist—they all made me feel happy and relaxed.”
At Phoenix Health, this level of personal attention isn’t an exception; it’s our standard. Every team member is committed to helping patients feel informed, safe, and calm throughout their experience.
A Life Transformed
Though her words are simple, their impact is powerful:
“My mini gastric bypass has changed my life.”
While weight loss is a clear outcome, the real transformation is in the everyday freedoms she’s regained, freedoms that many take for granted.
