WOMAN LOSES 11ST AFTER £11K GASTRIC SLEEVE OP

A woman has shed half her body weight after undergoing a gastric sleeve op to shrink her stomach. Hali Jafari, 33, from Bristol once weighed a whopping 22st, but is now a svelte 11st and size 10. The mum-of-three forked out £11k on gastric sleeve surgery after her GP told her she had the cholesterol of a 70-year-old. Hali, a deputy manager for a cosmetic company, said: "My doctor gave me the wake up call I needed. I was slowly eating myself to death. I was in a terrible state.
