In Ms. Elaine's Own Words

Hello, my name is Elaine and I am from the UK. I came for my gastric bypass surgery in India, and this is how I changed my life. I had been overweight and miserable for years. After trying various liquid diet programmes, weight loss shots, pills and packaged diet food plans, I was finally at the end of my rope. I could no longer fit into cinema seats, I could no longer shop for normal size clothing, I avoided all family functions, and I always had an excuse never to go out wearing a swimming costume. I started to develop physical problems from being so overweight. No matter what I tried, I just could not keep the weight off.

I had done some research and decided to go through with the gastric bypass surgery. I searched on the internet and found the Forerunners Healthcare website, which provides low cost gastric bypass surgery in India treated by the best surgeons. I went to Mumbai for my gastric bypass surgery in India.

They gave me hope for a thinner and healthier lifestyle; this surgery has changed my life forever. I got a successful gastric bypass surgery in India and I am proud of my success. I cannot thank Dr. Dheeraj Bojwani and his Forerunners Healthcare team enough for giving me hope that I could change myself into a totally new being, and the services provided by them were of international standards.
