Husband forks out £13.5K for wife’s confidence boosting ‘mummy makeover’

A woman has revealed how her husband forked out £13,500 on a ‘mummy makeover’ making her feel confident with her figure for the first time.

Jamie-Louise Fitton, 33, had put on weight after a back condition left her bedridden and in chronic back pain.

But after recovering from an operation, she got a personal trainer and managed to lose four stone.

Her weight loss left her with loose skin, but the mum-of-two from Stockport, Manchester, underwent a tummy tuck and a breast augmentation – paid for by her husband Adrian Fitton, 34.

She said web developer Adrian was her rock, helped her recover and agreed to foot the bill for her weight loss surgery as he could see how ‘miserable’ she was.

Jamie, who went under the knife in June 2018, said: "Since the surgery, I feel like a new woman.

"This is the first time I’ve felt confident with my figure and I’m finally comfortable taking my clothes off."

In March 2012, Jamie’s weight reached 12st when she was left bedridden while pregnant with her second child, George, five.

Jamie, a nursery owner, said: "Doing anything other than staying still left me in agony as I had horrendous back pain.

"My husband, Adrian, was my rock.

"He helped me get out of bed in the morning and washed my hair in the bath.

"My weight piled on and I struggled to exercise."

In February 2013, weighing 13 stone, doctors diagnosed her with mechanical back failure and chronic pain.

Jamie said: "They said it was incurable and that I could do nothing but take more pain medication.

"I had steroids injected into my spine, codeine, anti-inflammatory drugs and patches.

"I was on 22 painkillers a day and took morphine every night.

"But I was miserable and could barely walk up the stairs without being in agony.

"And being unable to exercise meant that I soon weighed 14 stone and was a size 16."

Soon after, she saw a pain specialist at Tameside General Hospital and underwent an MRI and CT scan to determine the cause of her pain.

This led to her diagnosis of mechanical back failure.

Jamie also had ovarian cysts which added to the pain she was suffering from, so doctors suggested she undergo a full hysterectomy.

She agreed and had the operation in June 2016.

Jamie said: "I have two children but it was heart-breaking to know that I couldn’t have more.

"Yet I was in so much pain I was willing to do anything. I would have chopped my leg off if I had to.

"I definitely felt a loss after the surgery, but Adrian supported me completely.

"The recovery was difficult, and at first I felt like I’d been hit by a bus.

"I decided not to let my pain beat me anymore and ditched my walking stick and morphine."

And in September 2016, three months after her operation, Jamie hired a personal trainer and hit the gym three times a week.

Within 18 months, she had lost 3 stone 11lbs from her 14 stone frame leaving her 10 stone 3lbs and a size 10.

And she married Adrian in August 2017.

Jamie then decided to undergo a tummy tuck to tighten her abdominal muscles.

She said: "I spoke to a surgeon who said that the surgery would also remove any excess skin caused by my weight loss, I was delighted.

"I decided to have a breast augmentation at the same time, increasing my cup size from an A cup to a D cup.

"But the surgery cost £13.5K which I couldn’t afford.

"Thankfully my husband agreed to foot the bill and took out a credit card to pay for the operation.

"He could see how miserable I was."

And in June 2018, she underwent her mummy makeover with Dr Gary Ross at BMI Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle.

Jamie said: "I knew from the moment I met Gary he was the surgeon for me.

"Gary informed me of what the surgery would entail, the recovery and if it would help my back at all.

"Through every step Gary and his team were always on hand to help and give advice.

"It was a five-hour operation but I went back to work straight away.

"The operation cured my back pain and it’s completely changed my life.

"I think Gary is a miracle worker and I can’t believe the results he’s achieved, he’s honestly changed my life.

"Now I have run a half marathon and even worn a bikini.

"Adrian has noticed a huge difference in me and I have never been happier.

"Feeling this way took me a long time and came with a hefty price tag but I wouldn’t change it for the world."
