      A resident of Irkutsk lost 60 kilograms after undergoing bariatric surgery performed by doctors from Yekaterinburg's GKB No. 40, reports "KP-Yekaterinburg."

      Natalia Kolesnikova, who is now 47 years old, struggled with excess weight for many years. At a height of 170 centimeters, her weight was over 140 kilograms. Diets and physical exercises provided only temporary results—the kilograms returned. She learned from acquaintances that in Russia, one can undergo stomach reduction surgery for free if there are medical indications, primarily severe obesity.

      Surgical stomach reduction can be performed under the compulsory medical insurance (OMS) if there are medical indications, primarily severe obesity. Natalia decided to have the surgery at GKB No. 40 in Yekaterinburg and traveled 3,000 kilometers for this, writes "KP-Yekaterinburg."

      As a result, the woman lost 60 kilograms. After some time, in Yekaterinburg, Natalia underwent plastic surgery to remove excess sagging skin after weight loss. The doctors performed a breast lift and abdominoplasty.

      As a result, the patient appeared younger, not only externally. Health indicators improved: blood pressure and blood sugar normalized, shortness of breath and constant fatigue disappeared, and knee pain ceased.

      Now Natalia follows the recommendations given by doctors and a nutritionist and only regrets that she did not take this step earlier.
