[@nokuthula4178]

so glad to see South Africans embracing different weight-loss methods. The truth is being overweight really affects your quality of life and a better quality of life is what we are after

[@gcinuthandongcayiya2803]

It does!!!!!

[@LungisileHadebe]

You said it so well

[@wendyomuhle]

I’ve been fasting, running and healthy dieting. Nothing worked in the long-run. So glad to learn about this weight loss method.❤

[@Hipsey_Nussle]

Eat small portion of food

[@neegee3755]

To think that you were just a kid at St Francis and now you’ve become such an amazing human ❤ . You’ve always been smart and you were bound to succeed. Thank you for sharing your journey .

[@thobekaphoswa]

My body started aching as well. That’s why I started my weight loss journey. Filming and posting it on KZbin has kept me consistent. 🌸

[@LungisileHadebe]

So proud of you and you look amazing well done Lungi

[@silindilentuli2019]

You always articulate yourself so well. You touched on some important points and I think anyone watching this has learned about how to approach basically any situation. So proud of you for being brave. Hope you will continue to enjoy this journey.

[@emaransat3972]

Thank you so much for sharing. It is a struggle to lose weight, and times when we look at other people that have lost weight and they made it look easier we think that will be the same for us too. But we are different, everyone must just do what is best for them.

[@thandi44]

So happy for you Lungile, you look Devine. Just glowing with health & happiness, which to me is the crux of why we want to lose weight and feel good. I'd love some interior design content e.g. where to draw inspiration for styling your first home, how to show your personality in your styling choices and how to refurbish different parts of the home. Again, you look amazing.

[@deandreahalcomb344]

I had my sleevectomy a year ago this month, and yes, it is Not a quick fix, rather a lifestyle change. Congrats on making the best informed decision for yourself! Blessings 😊

[@missmoon_16]

Hey Lungile❤ you look great. I'd like the home content. Homeware, furniture updates, decorations of your home and lastly clothing hauls

[@sarahngoma3023]

Glad you’re back ! Please can you do more home decor video ❤

[@mjtee7869]

I had gastric bypass 18 months ago.. it changed my life drastically. From 153kg to 105kg and still losing..im forever indebted to my surgeon..im a very slow loser but im fine with that. Diabetes reversed, blood pressure normal, cholesterol good, sleep apnea gone.. i now walk between 15000 to 20 000 a day..Go for it if you get the chance.

[@aminamahmoud4382]

Congratulations for your achievement I am struggling with body weight, and it affects my general health & mental health. I am going for gastric bypass surgery, but I am scared. I would appreciate any advice. Do you ever regret your surgery??

[@nomafmaroga6827]

@@aminamahmoud4382 ill never regret doing gastric bypass. When I dropped the weight my confidence was boosted. I started for me not for the fact that someone feels pitty for me. By the way, I was bullied from a younger age about my look. Worse is that I am a twin; so, I was always compared with her. Told she was more attractive than me. I met a guy I truly loved and decided to go for surgery. He said he loved big women but to me everyone told me that and later showed me flames. After 1 year of losing the 40kg I got married. He helped me change my look. How I dress. I love everything about me with my lose skin now.

[@Stephymasoeu]

Hi loves. So glad to come across your video, very helpful and reassuring. I i have my vsg surgery in 15 days with Dr Vehibe Işık (also through The Clinique). Just wondering, were you provided with shakes, meds etc to take home with post op? Any tips on what to take/pack with me? I’ll be there for 8 nights, and travelling solo as well. Super anxious 😩 but excited at the same time. FYI You look amazing 😍

[@LungileThabethe]

Hi Stephy, congrats on taking this huge step for your health. I was provided with medication for when I returned home but no shakes or anything else post op. I also packed gaviscon which helped with my gastric reflux post surgery. But I’d also recommend packing your own soup sachets (a variety ) because you can’t eat much of what is available at the hotel post op. Also comfortable clothing , a long charging cable for the hospital (don’t forget your international adapter) . Buy a sim card with data when they pick you up from the airport and your network will be affected largely (roaming doesn’t help). And upon check in ask for a room with a window/ sliding door( weird request I know but some don’t and it gets claustrophobic). Also save your correspondents WhatsApp numbers and don’t be afraid to contact them, they are there to help you with ALL your needs. Tell the doctor you’re my friend and that I said she should take good care of you ♥️ More than anything stay calm and pray, you are going through a difficult journey but it will be worth it.

[@LungileThabethe]

You got this!

[@lungilendlovu4584]

Take sea salt or Celtics salt with water. Put little under your tongue then drink water, I do this 3 to 4 times a day, the swelling has gone down. The salt is available at dischem.

[@mbalim_Her.journey]

​@lungilendlovu4584 thank you, I'll definitely get it tomorrow.

[@maryjanezandile3215]

Hi congratulations on your new body you look amazing that's an inspiration, I have a question since ur on 75kg do you continue losing weight or there is a certain weight whr u want to stop losing and how do you stop it from losing more??

[@brownaura7616]

So well articulated and apt. Your aura is so composed Lady. Thank you 😊

[@LungileThabethe]

Thank you! 😊

[@shooomy]

I’m going through the exact same thing. I went from 72 to 93kgs in under 3years. I’m insulin resistant and pre-diabetic and have been put on glucophage but it’s just not working. Can you please share the link for the place where you had the surgery.Thank you so muuuuuch for this information Lungile☺️

[@Star_Mkhize]

Same I went from 78 to 101kg in 2 years and it’s the ghetto. I’m seriously considering this because according to my bmi I should weigh 63kg which is unrealistic to me but if I can get to 70kg I’d be happy

[@LungileThabethe]

hey, I've shared their details in the description.

[@lihlelee3826]

Congratulations Lungile , we are young and so being overweight is not good as its affect our overall health the truth is some people have lost their lives through obesity and if you have the means to get weight loss surgery I advocate for it . Let’s be the generation to take care of ourselves I love this very much such an inspiration. One more question do you have any scars from your surgery ?

[@LungileThabethe]

Thank you and yes I totally agree! I have 5 small scars on my abdomen as the surgery was done laparoscopically so the scars are from those access points used

[@ntobendlovu7876]

Thank u so much for sharing your journey sis- Just one question- if you ever decide you want to fall pregnant, have the drs advised how you will go about ensuring your baby has enough nutrition etc since your portion are super small

[@MsKay287]

This is such a good question nami I'd like to know.

[@evettenxumalo1263]

Oh wow I actually never considered this, good question.

[@MrsSSM]

Did the surgery heal your insulin resistance, or does it go away after surgery?

[@LungileThabethe]

Thank you so much! No it doesn’t affect fertility, if anything while I was doing my research I came across a lot of information suggesting that weight loss increases one’s chances of fertility

Hi Lungi thank you for sharing. How is the acid reflux now? Is there a reason you chose the sleeve over the gastric by-pass which i read stops acid reflux?

My acid reflux was No so severe that it would affect my decision on the weight loss surgery I chose to have. What was more important to me was avoiding any sort of bypass

Happy for you girl

[@bee_defined]

Hey happy for you sis❤️, what caused the sudden gain weight in a short space of time? I think if one has an unhealthy relationship with food is it advisable to go the gastric sleeve surgery route as a quick remedial.

[@LungileThabethe]

insulin resistance mostly but this surgery is not a quick fix, it should be the last resort as it affects so many parts of your lifestyle so not one to be taken lightly.

[@bee_defined]

@@LungileThabethe thanks, this is vital information🙏

[@deandreahalcomb344]

@highlyfavorednblessed_11 the VSG shouldn't be considered a "quick remedial" for unhealthy food relationships because it doesn't force you to make healthier choices, but is a lifestyle change in itself. Some think that the surgery alone is the fix, and those are often the ones who lose and regain the weight.

[@tadziwabakali1353]

Beautiful😊❤

[@tamsinwood2]

Had a vsg. Best decision ever.
