What Determined2 means to you!

Recently I was sent a message on Linkedin from someone who had just received their D2 Merch I responded thanking them and ask if they could send me a picture along with a quote about what makes them Determined2. What they sent back was incredible and so unexpected, they have agreed to share their story below about what makes them Determined2, thank you Heather for sharing! I love how our brand is inspiring those who don't even attend our services, Determined2 will always be much more than a name but rather a way of life! Peter Wilson Managing Director Determined2

"My weight had reached 107 kg and my health was deplorable. I had pulmonary hypertension, my respiration was terribly compromised, I had a generalised seronegative arthritis, I ached unmercifully all day and night and had to sleep with a CPAP machine and was really unhappy. I could not show my dogs and in general was really miserable and life did not give me any enjoyment at all".

"That year in October I visited my father who at 90 was still working on his farm and realised that I had long lived genetic material in me that I should be taking advantage of".

"Fast forward 4 years and I am a totally transformed happy 60 year old. My weight is stable between 73 and 75 kgs and I have none of the compromised health issues pre my gastric sleeve. I still sleep with a CPAP as my apnoea is caused by severe snoring, not weight".

"I can show my dogs again & for the first time in my life can look at myself and honestly say I like who I am and what I have achieved".

"Most importantly I have the good health I needed this past February to not succumb to a huge golden staph infection following hernia surgery in December 18".

"My specialist's words still resonate strongly with me" - "I cannot believe how well you looked for how sick you were".

"I know had I not been 'Determined 2' take a positive action for my future health and well being I would not have survived the Golden Staph Infection".

"I spend much of my time providing positive reinforcement of the benefits of Gastric Surgery to those who are contemplating the surgery freely sharing my journey; its highs and lows and the conscious effort every day to continue to manage my weight so I don't fall back into old and bad eating habits".

"Determined2 means a great deal to me and sums up my future commitment to me health and wellbeing".

"I love my transformation because I am Determined2".
