"I had to use a cattle scales to weigh myself."
An Offaly father and daughter say a Gastric Sleeve operation has changed their lives.
David Killian from Cloghan had to use a cattle scales to weigh himself and was shocked to see he was over 40 stone.
After trying to get the operation done in Ireland, his daughter Colene began researching alternative options and seven weeks ago the pair flew to Turkey to have the surgery.
They have been speaking with Midlands 103’s Sinéad Hubble about how they've supported each other on the journey so far:
