A woman has undergone a dramatic transformation after losing 14 stone and having a skin operation. Simone Anderson, from Auckland, New Zealand, weighed 26.5st before deciding to make a change in 2014.
She had gastric sleeve surgery, which she claims was 'saved her life', and underwent a skin removal operation. The 29-year-old motivational speaker said: "Gastric sleeve surgery saved my life, I don’t believe I would be alive today without this life changing surgery. "It gave me the tools to reinvent my eating and take a good hard look at my exercise habits." She added that her six-year transformation, which has also included lip and facial fillers, has been 'surreal'.
