In this episode of The Road to Transformation: My Journey to Weight Loss Surgery and Beyond, I dive into the next stage of my journey — transitioning from Level 3 to Level 4 in the weight management programme. I share insights into the multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting process, what to expect in Level 4, and the key preparations you need before surgery.

You'll hear about:
✅ Understanding the MDT meeting and its role in your progression
✅ Meeting with your surgeon and choosing the right procedure for you
✅ The important dietary changes you should start making before surgery
✅ The liver reducing diet (LDR) — what it involves and why it’s crucial
✅ Preparing for your surgery date, including your pre-op appointment

I also discuss some of the surprising challenges I faced, from giving up fizzy drinks and chewing gum to learning the importance of timing your meals and drinks. Whether you're preparing for your own weight loss surgery or supporting someone on their journey, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
