Ed Hendy

When I first went to see Dr Mark Daoud in 2007, about weight loss surgery, I weighed 265 kg. I had a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on 28th November 2007 and have lost 137 kg in total.

I was asked to lose 40 kg before Dr Daoud would operate as it would have been too dangerous. When I was discharged from hospital and returned home I would eat cup of soups and low-fat yoghurt until I could tolerate a normal diet including vegetables and steamed chicken. I avoid bread, margarines and fats in general. I eat slower and feel full a lot quicker since my surgery.

I started out with short walks and riding my bike and now use walking machines as well. My exercise tolerance has increased greatly.

I feel so much better and know that by losing this amount of weight I will live longer. I cannot begin to say how glad I am to have had this done. I would encourage anyone who is struggling with obesity to contact the Obesity Clinic Queensland. I am living proof of the fact that this can be done and done so safely.
