A Turkey surgery-mad mum revealed her dramatic from plus size bridesmaid to teeny bride – but her body still gets trolled. Lauren Evens, 31, from Chester, spent the majority of her life struggling to get a hold on her weight and would often be 'put down' because of it. She eventually decided to jump on the cheap op bandwagon as she feared being 'fat at 30'.
Though, that's not the only reason that fuelled Lauren's extreme weight loss – which saw her drop from 24 stone to 9 stone in a matter of months. The super slimmer was desperate to drop dress sizes after seeing a picture of herself as a size 26 bridesmaid and did not want struggle to fit into her own wedding dress. So, Lauren saved up £2,300 for a gastric sleeve operation – where 80% of the stomach is removed – and flew to Turkey for the 'life changing' procedure.
Speaking to Daily Star, Lauren said: "I was size 26 as a bridesmaid, had no love for myself, I seriously mentally unwell and in a dark place. "And now, my wedding dress is size 10! Tears did come to my eyes not just for the physical transformation but the mental transformation too. "My life has changed for the better.
" Lauren has now splashed £20,000 on treatments in Turkey and is set to travel back there in November to start IVF treatment with her wife-to-be, Hannah. So far, she's had eight different treatments – including a bodged boob job and 'horse' veneers. Lauren has documented her journey on Instagram and where she's racked up a collective 60,0.
