I did it my weigh

SPECIAL weight loss surgery transformed the life of the man who used to be Britain’s highest user of insulin.

Michael Parker, 49, who weighed 34 stone and was plagued by ill-health, had to take 600 units of insulin a day – 12 times the average amount.

Michael is among 200 people nationwide who have all undergone a complex weight loss procedure known as the duodenal switch.

He was one of 40 patients who came together for the first time to share their experiences at an event held by weight loss surgery information charity WLSinfo.

Michael said: “Since having the operation, I have lost 19 stone, no longer need insulin, my blood sugar levels are normal and my blood pressure is down.

“I do not have any symptoms of diabetes that plagued me for almost seven years.”
