Amy Salmon, a mother of two from Hertfordshire, says her weight loss follows a decision to undergo a gastric sleeve procedure after her relationship ended in 2023. According to reports, her weight had reached 18 stone after years of comfort eating and unsuccessful attempts to lose weight. After the breakup, she focuses on making changes and undergoing surgery as part of her efforts to reduce her weight. The outlets report that she loses about 9 stone overall and moves from wearing a size 22 to a size 6, describing this as a post-breakup transformation. She presents her progress publicly, highlighting the size and weight changes she attributes to the gastric sleeve. Both accounts frame the breakup as a turning point in her decision to seek medical weight-loss treatment. The reporting does not provide additional clinical details about the procedure or her health outcomes beyond the reported weight and clothing-size changes.
