Wolverhampton Mother Loses 13 Stone After Gastric Sleeve and Mounjaro

She credits a £3,500 gastric sleeve in Turkey plus Mounjaro injections for a transformation she says reversed her type 2 diabetes.

Overview

  • Tammy Jones says she dropped from 23st 10lbs and a size 32 to 11st 4lbs and a size eight, no longer needing a walking stick.
  • She reports a 2021 bout of pneumonia and a type 2 diabetes diagnosis as the turning point that pushed her to seek treatment.
  • Jones paid £3,500 for a gastric sleeve in September 2022 in Turkey, using money she previously spent on takeaways, with help from her husband and brother.
  • She started Mounjaro in August 2024 at about £150 per month for 12 months and says the jabs helped her lose a further four stone.
  • After the weight loss, she spent roughly £7,500 on a breast lift and tummy tuck in September and is planning a June holiday to Tunisia.
