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
It does!!!!!
You said it so well
I’ve been fasting, running and healthy dieting. Nothing worked in the long-run. So glad to learn about this weight loss method.❤
Eat small portion of food
I came here , right from Cyan' s channel❤

same here, lol

My body started aching as well. That’s why I started my weight loss journey. Filming and posting it on UA-cam has kept me consistent. 🌸
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 .
Also have Insulin resistance and the feet swelling . Booking my surgery soon ♡ Thank you for advocating and being SO OPEN ❤
Thank you and all the best with your health journey
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.
Where did you do yours am almost 149kg
It's so sweet when you finally lose that unwanted weight. I lost 109 pounds (half the weight of a refrigerator) in less than 4 months and have kept it off since then. Just like every woman struggling with weight loss now, I yoyoed for years - staying on track for a month or 2, losing a few lbs in the process before falling off. And each time I fell off, I just gained the weight back plus more. In July 2021, I was at my heaviest - 255 lbs... See full story on my channel.
Congratulations on your weight loss journey. I had my vsg about 3 years ago and it was the best decision ever.
Hey, was it in South Africa? If so, where?✨
@@ReshoketsweMampaneIt was in Turkey.
Thank you so much♥️
Well done sisi ❤

Giiiiiirl! I'm 2 mins in but I feel you on no matter what you do, the weight doesn't drop 🙄. It's so demolishing..
Then Boom Pregnancy,Happy for you ke sana
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.
Thank you Lungile for such an informative video and especially for mentioning gastro reflux! Because wow! What a struggle 😢
Congratulations🎉❤🎉 I had my gastric bypass, August 2022, and I'm down 40kg. Best decision ever.
I had my surgery in July of 2022..Well done sis!
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??
@@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.
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 😊
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.
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.
Hey Lungile❤ you look great. I'd like the home content. Homeware, furniture updates, decorations of your home and lastly clothing hauls
Breath-takingly honest.... ❤
All the best in your new journey
Thank you so much 🙂
But also can we discuss how the Face card never declined ❤😊 Cha umuhle ❤
thank you😊
Glad you’re back ! Please can you do more home decor video ❤
This was beautiful to watch. 🥰🥰🥰 Yes, I would love to see more of Interior designing content.
Congratulations Lungi, you deserve this and I applaud, weight loss takes discipline and hard work. Well done. I also changed my diet last year and I lost more than 16kg.
I will always advocate for people prioritising their health, whichever way they choose to. Well done sis 🎉🎉❤
16 kg wow congrats its not easy
You look so good girl!!! Everytime I was abt to type & ask something you’d answer. Loose skin tip: take protein & collagen shake it helps alot!!!!
Thanks for the tip!
I'm so happy for you Lungi, you look amazing. You real face came out and u have never looked better congratulations
Thank you so much!
Thank you Lungile for sharing this with us. I have always admired your confidence and your beauty way before the weight-loss. You look even more beautiful and happier ❤Congratulations ❤❤❤
The day I have enough money I'm definitely going for weight-loss surgery.
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
This is such a good question nami I'd like to know.
Oh wow I actually never considered this, good question.
I love this for you Lungile. I'm all for making the necessary changes in your life when one sees the need & can afford. Kudos!
So proud of you and you look amazing well done Lungi
I'm so proud of you for taking care of yourself . . Weight can be a huge issue for young women . . Thank u for sharing this
Please post more on YT. Ave ngikuthanda ❤
I have no reason to listen to this subject, but girl I could listen to you the whole day ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and being so transparent. This has been so informative!🌻
Thank you for documenting your journey, I share the similar weight related issues and it’s more frustrating in my 30’s, my metabolism is slower than it was in my 20’s.. Spoke to my Dr about this, it’s definitely a huge consideration for me
Why didn’t you do it in South Africa? I know a family friend who’s done it in South Africa as it’s becoming quite common here as well
Edit:never mind; you answered this question towards the end of video, so it was a cost factor, it’s cheaper in Turkey than SA. Makes sense
Congratulations . You worked so hard and you look so good .🎉
Thank you so much!!
You look amazing Lungi😍😍. Your facial bone structure is structuring!! Tjo you are gorgeous..looking forward to you posting more content on UA-cam!! Thanks for sharing..
Thank you so much!!
Thank you Lungile for sharing your journey with us, it has motivated me so much, I am going to turkey in 2 weeks time to have my surgery…❤❤❤
Good luck!!
You and I both Kealeboga. I’m currently in Turkey for my procedure.
Hawu ma lungi lung uvelaphi,welcome back sister and looking amazing 🙌🤗😍
Well done, great content Lungie
Thank you for sharing your journey with us and well done! 🤗
Thanks for watching!
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 ?
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
well done! you look great... dont give up the good eating and working out now and then, you made a choice for your health but most importantly , your happiness. gorgeous before and definitely even now.
Congratulations🎉 so happy for you 😊.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us 💕
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 😍
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.
Thank you so much Lungile❤️can’t wait to get mine done ❤
Congratulations on your weight loss journey 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Did the surgery heal your insulin resistance, or does it go away after surgery?
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☺️
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
hey, I've shared their details in the description.
Love this for you❤…. You even seem lighter whilst conversing
I am! thank you!
You loook amazing Lungi definitely worth every cent❤
thank you so much!
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??
Please do shopping hauls of beauty staff, makeup, perfumes,shoes clothes etc❤
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and experience. This is so so valuable.
Congrats gorgeous! Im so inpired! Immo start saving for it! Thanx a lot! 😘❤❤
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??
I've been struggling to lose weight for the past 4years, my feet are always swollen, especially my ankles. Im saving up for this procedure. Your journey has been amazing. Thank you for sharing with us Lungile ❤❤.
You got this!
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.
@lungilendlovu4584 thank you, I'll definitely get it tomorrow.
So happy for you Lungile, you look amazing ❤

That’s so kind of you, thank you so much
Very informative ❤missed you here on UA-cam ❤❤
🎉🎉Hank u for sharing yr journey my fav
Thanks for sharing and congratulations 🥳. Can’t wait to see how 2024 will look like for you in your new body and mindset. I hope you don’t mind me asking - does the surgery have any impact on fertility and being able to carry a pregnancy 🤰?
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
Thank you for sharing your experience❤❤❤.... so what is going to happen happens when you have reached your dream weight? How do you maintain/stop the weight loss?
So well articulated and apt. Your aura is so composed Lady. Thank you 😊
Thank you! 😊
Congratulations Lungi on loosing so much weight 💪❤requesting a video on what you eat on a day🙏
You look really great Lungile and I think I've been telling you this since day one. Thanks for sharing the journey with us considering that you are a very private person.
thank you for the amazing vlog
You are looking so good🙌🏾
Thank you so much 😀
Congratulations Lungile🎉.
Thank you for this video... I have been actively thinking about it. You didn't give a link to the hospital. Please can we have it?
I've added their IG in the description, all their details are in their bio on IG
Hey Lungiiii 😍😍😍😍Thank you for this - so did the surgery help with the insulin resistance itself?
I’m yet to go back to my nutritionist to retest for it however all the health implications that I had as a result of insulin resistance are no longer there so I believe it did
Amazing @lungilethabethe. Thanks for an amazing video ❤️. Are you saying the whole thing, including flights and surgery amounts to R100k plus?
Yes that’s roughly how much I paid
Wow eye opening didnt know this method
Thanks i was also n still the chubby one
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
Noted thank you Lungi❤
@@LungileThabetheyou look beautiful❤
Well-done Lungile ❤
Notification gang is here🎉
Thanks for the info💐, do you need to increase your vitamins as you do not get them from food?
Yes you do, post surgery I take multivitamins daily
Thank you for sharing your journey 🙏🙏Do you mind sharing the details of the Dietitian that discovered that you are insulin resistant please
Jenna Selley, based in Morningside Johannesburg
I went to Turkey for same procedure last year. The procedure is about R60,000, flights are about R20,000 max return direct to Istanbul if you fly between Mar - Oct, Nov-Feb is about R15,000 max return direct to Istanbul- what airline did you use that cost max R50,000?
@@mabosigomolamu9850 I flew Turkish Airlines, Business Class was R20000
I flew emirates business
@@LungileThabethe even that, their business class last year was R27k, this year its R36k
Welcome back beautiful
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.
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.
@@LungileThabethe thanks, this is vital information🙏
@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.
Congratulations Dear ❤❤❤ You Are Beautiful ❤❤
Hi Lungi, is the weightloss more intemse in certain areas as opposed to others? Tummy, arms, bum?
I’m certain that this differs from individual to individual. However I’ve experienced overall weight loss
@@LungileThabethe thanks for your feedback. Lots of the videos I watched showed people getting a "pancake butt" so I've been worried about that
@@NanaYaaTressesI have that, but I also can walk and move without pain so I'll take the flatter bum
@@deandreahalcomb344 you're right. Health over aesthetics
I am so proud of you, 😍😍😍😍
Had a vsg. Best decision ever.
You look incredible Lungile. So beautiful. ❤️😍
Thank you! 😊
I have insulin resistance as a result of being diagnosed with PCOS. Its tough losing weight.
This surgery actually costs less than Liposuction
Shuuuu so relatable. 🎉
Hi Lungi! With this surgery do you continue to lose weight even after you've reached your goal weight? How does one maintain the weight?
I'm also curious about this.
depending on your goal weight, yes that is very possible. The most amount of weight loss is experienced in the first 6 months post surgery, in the following 6 months after that you most likely lose half of the amount lost in the 1st half of the year. After the first year, it is more so about maintaining your weight through a change in lifestyle habits established within the 1st year post surgery.
Since the time of recording this video, I have reached my initial weight loss goal and am currently 70kg as of today. I expect to continue to lose a bit more however, my body loses less and less each week as it regulates itself naturally.
You look incredible 😊
Very informative 👌🏾
all the best with your journey❤️
Ngiyayibona I weight loss your teeth are so perfect 👌
