🎙️ The Road to Transformation: My Journey to Weight Loss Surgery and Beyond

Episode 1: Asking for Help – My First Steps Toward Weight Loss Surgery

In this heartfelt first episode, I, Amy Mandelj, share my personal journey towards weight loss surgery. From my lifelong struggles with weight to battling chronic illnesses like Henoch–Schönlein purpura, fibromyalgia, and anxiety, I open up about what led me to finally ask my GP for help.

🩺 In this episode, I talk about:
✅ My experiences with weight loss programs like Slimming World and Weight Watchers
✅ The impact of chronic illness and medications on my weight
✅ How being pre-diabetic became a wake-up call for me
✅ The emotional moment that pushed me to seek medical support
✅ The steps I took to start the process for weight loss surgery through the NHS

💬 Key Message: Every journey is unique, and asking for help can be a powerful first step towards transformation.
