An obese woman flew to Turkey to remove part of her stomach before losing more than 231 pounds after predicting that a psychic would die without drastic action.
Rebecca Wilkinson, 30, began gaining weight as a teenager and saw a surge in weight after becoming pregnant at the age of 18. In less than two years, I gained nearly 140 pounds.
After enjoying two takeaways a day, she washed away snacks such as chocolate, potato chips and sweets with a liter of Lucozade.
In her maximum condition, Rebecca was leaning the scale over 300 pounds and had a hard time squeezing to a size of 28-30.
After years of dieting, the mother didn’t see any change until a trip to the psychic put her into action.
He revealed that if she continued to have unhealthy habits, there would be no future, and she told her, “Do whatever you need or die.”
The bomb embarked on her weight loss journey and booked a flight to Antalya, Turkey in September 2020 for private gastric sleeve surgery.
A year after surgery to remove part of the stomach, she lost an astonishing 16st 7lb and slimmed down to 12st 5lb and 10-14 slim sizes.
Rebecca, an apprentice plasterer in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, said:
“While visiting my psychic, he scared me and made me act.
“He said there was no life on the card.
“He also said:” Do what it takes-go to the extreme, or you will die. “” I knew I had to take drastic action, and Surgery was the only way.
“I lost weight after I was hungry. My life changed.”
Rebecca began wrestling with bullies when she was a teenager and turned to food for comfort.
She saw her begin to gain weight, especially after she became pregnant with her first child, Libby, 12,.
Moms often squeezed into lunch and supper takeaways, and then ate light meals.
She states: “I went to a girls’ school, but the bullying was terrible.
“At school, I was bigger than the other girls, so they gave me the nickname” Rebecca Double Decker. ” I definitely ate to feel better.
“Start the day with four buttered toasts. If you flutter in the morning, you can easily repeat this.
“Lunch was a takeaway and dinner was a takeaway every night.”
When her weight went out of control, Rebecca suffered from her mental health, anxiety and depression.
She wanted another baby with her 16-year-old partner, Matt, 34. Matt owns a plaster company, but has had a hard time getting pregnant for the next 12 years because of his weight.
Her maximum weight was over 300 pounds and she struggled to fit in size 28.
She states:
“I can’t leave the house without my mom and fiancée. I chose where to go in case it doesn’t fit in the cubicle of my seat or toilet.
“Some people didn’t like overtaking cars.”
Rebecca tried and failed on a diet for years and remained feeling “defeated.”
She was ready to “give up” when the trip to the psychic changed everything in 2020.
According to Rebecca, he couldn’t see her future on the card and told her to “sort now”. Otherwise she will die.
“I was initially skeptical of the psychic, but I knew he wasn’t doing anything else,” she said.
“The way he knew how I would eat and then” pause “. I shed tears and left a reading, which was important what I did.
“He said:” I haven’t seen the life left for you. “It was a wake-up call that I needed to change. “
After reading, Rebecca considered a private operation on the stomach sleeve in the UK, which cost more than £ 12,000.
She realized that the cost of surgery abroad in Turkey was £ 3,000 and underwent surgery with her mother Jayne Nunn, 47, in September 2020.
Surgery involved removing three-quarters of the stomach, with the remaining amount forming a “sleeve” or tube leading to the intestines.
After surgery, Rebecca returned to the UK and had to survive for a month on a diet of liquids, purees and soft foods before she could re-eat solid foods.
Rebecca continues. “My mother came with me and was very supportive.
“It all worked, but there was a lot of adaptation to my new diet.
“Now you can eat only a small amount every two hours, like a baby bell, or a small amount of protein, like salmon fillets.
“For dinner, we usually prepare a small portion of what we cook for our family.
“I don’t feel hungry or miss food.”
For over a year, Rebecca said she had “lost” and she lost a whopping 16 and 7 pounds and lost to 168 pounds.
She is now wearing size 10-14 and said she has a whole new life lease.
Her mom, Jane, has always lost a staggering £ 182 after surgery.
Rebecca said:
“Mom did a great job too. She wants to return to Turkey for another surgery to remove excess skin.
“I gave up working from home and am now an apprentice plasterer.
“I enjoy a super long walk. Going out and socializing that I had never imagined will be possible.
“The most important thing is that I can move around and live painlessly.
“Hopefully, weight loss will help me to give birth and give birth to another baby.
“It changed my life.”
