Many years ago, due to an allergic reaction,
my activity level became quite low
and my weight started increasing.
As the weight increased,
walking or exercising became even more difficult.
If we had to go out somewhere,
Mummy would tell us to go without her.
If I would work even a little,
along with fatigue, my knees would ache a lot.
If I had to sit down and work
getting up again used to be a huge problem.
Mummy could not even come to collect my report card at school.
I’d feel very sad, seeing her like this.
So I decided that something had to be done.
After quite some research,
we met a bariatric doctor.
The doctor explained everything very simply.
And by evening, Mummy had made up her mind
to go for bariatric surgery.
Now, I feel as if...
‘Why didn’t I take this decision earlier?’
Now, due to weight loss,
I don’t have any issues like sleep problems
or pain in the knees.
Just three months after the surgery,
Mummy travelled to meet her doctor
all by herself, by train.
Her happiness had to be seen to be believed!
It’s not as if just going for the surgery
has resolved all my worries.
Whether it is diet or fitness,
I pay careful attention to all these issues.
I regularly follow up with my doctor
and follow all the instructions given to me.
For six years, she hadn’t attended any function.
This year, she has already attended quite a few
and has taken us as well.
Now, I truly feel that this surgery
has given a new life to my family as well.
