You will! Right after surgery you will start seeing change. It will take less then a year as long you fallow all the instructions giving to you. You be just fine good luck 😉
I have my consult on January 3rd. I'm so nervous yet so ready to finally LIVE!!! What scares me through is all the talk about hair loss. Can anyone speak to that?
I watched this video before my RNY surgery and it eased my mind. I am now - month post op and have lost 35 pounds!! I am so excited. Thank you for doing this video!!
Update- I am now 3 months post op and have lost 52 pounds since surgery and 59 pounds from my highest weight. Since that post- I have lost an extra 24 pounds!!
I had my gastric sleeve surgery 2 weeks ago at DR HE Clinic, everyone was amazing and supportive I went alone but I never felt I was alone the nurses and everyone was like a family to me and I was very lucky I got to meet Nathalie at DR HE Clinic, she was very kind and supportive lady and she looks really amazing. Thank you DR HE clinic you're the best
@@legitnesha9699 it was a few difficult weeks. I am now one month post and I am eating food. I'm down 34lbs. I feel so much better. When people say this is the easy way, they haven't had the surgery. Definitely not the easy way. Not a quick fix. Don't rush yourself, follow the advice of the physician.
I commented before but this video I think I’ve watched 60 times maybe 40 but I know it’s up there and at the end when Natalie is singing the very part that I love is when she laughs and goes back into singing it’s amazing I love this lady and I love that she is still successful with maintaining the surgery and it was a success for her it’ll soon be me soon
i can’t afford to be in love with food anymore, i’m so tired of hurting after i eat, being tired all the time. i can’t wait to have my surgery in few weeks. thank you for the inspiration
11 weeks post by pass and have lost 40 lbx. I am so happy I did this. You are so full of love and light. Congratulations and your so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
@@bornagainchristian3742 Sure! I’m sorry I didn’t see the previous comment. 9/13 made 6 months! I had an amazing operation. No complications and my doctor here in Japan is fantastic, I’m actually on my way to see him. My surgery weight was 366 (I started at 386). My current weight 6 months later is 212 and it decreases daily it seems like. So I lost 154 lbs in 6 months and beat the total weight loss record in my clinic. I also workout EVERYDAY (except sunday) and I maintain a healthy eating lifestyle. I’m not perfect but I rarely go off my healthy foods. ^_^ hope that helps.
I remember watching her surgery story, trying to get inspiration for myself. I'm so glad to see her now, she looks like a different person now!! Her personality is the same and she appears to be a good patient too. I never used this clinic, but thanks for sharing this inspiring story💜
First; u've got one of the best vocals I have EVER heard. Second, I love how positive u are. This is a very motiving video. Because of your personality. I can get "the call" every moment now to get my surgery. I have the same weight u had and I think we are pretty much the same height so I wonder how fast my weightloss will go. I gained 40 kilograms in 5 years... way to much for all sorts of reasons and now I am "fat" up with it. Its also good to see its done in Turkey as it can use some good critics now. Surgeries in Turkey have been broadcasted pretty negative lately .. These doctors sure know what they are doing!! Just saw u auditioned for Dutch Idols.. wow!
Natalie Makoma I am so proud of you. Will always keep you in prayers. I grew up listening to the whole Makoma album and was so moved by the Holy Spirit in Moto Oyo even though I didn’t understand any Lingala at the time🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥You have been a blessing to the Body of Christ! We can’t wait to hear more worship from you again some day🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏 You are brave to share your testimony!!
She's so cute , humble , with a powerful voice and an amazing personality. It's so good the doctor could help her. The hospital stuff and doctor are very professional, kind and welcoming. This was an excellent job, she looks great!❤
You are beautiful both ways and I am so inspired by your story. I met with my doctor yesterday and we decided on the same thing after years of me going back and forth. I am further inspired by you because I also am the female lead singer in my band and ironically "Crazy" is one of the songs I do! Thank you, thank you, thank you. New subscriber here!
I used to be a super fan of the group Makoma and Natalie especially ! They fell off the grid and the group was no more. Its so good to see her again ! Didn't recognise her at first. I have one ❓️ did she remove her loose skin or did she not get any loose skin?
OMG, Lady!! You look amazing. Don't get me wrong, you was beautiful before too. Anyway, I just got approved by my doctor to get VSG done. She applaud my decision due to help issues I am battling along being overweight. Wow. You are such an inspiration!
seeing her positive energy, and how happy she is now really calms my nerves and makes me feel a little more at ease with my upcoming surgery. I know that to get to where she is, its gonna take time and a lot of work but im ready for a change. I want to feel good inside and out, have a healthier relationship with food, and be overall healthier and happier. I really hope my surgery goes well.
"Thank you so much for sharing your feelings! It’s completely natural to have some nerves before surgery, but focusing on the positive outcomes, like improved health and well-being, can be incredibly motivating. Remember, it’s a journey of transformation, and every step you take brings you closer to where you want to be. Your readiness for change and your vision for a healthier, happier life are already powerful forces. We’re all rooting for your surgery to go smoothly and for you to start feeling great inside and out! and we will be always there to help u
