As a midwife specialising in obesity, it was Sherma Turner?s job to lecture her patients on healthy eating.
But it was no surprise they found it difficult to take her seriously ? because she weighed a huge 21 STONE.
Her size also led to constant ridicule from colleagues at Medway Hospital, Kent. But the final straw came when she was pictured in the hospital magazine and another nurse sneered: ?It looks like you just ate yourself.?
That hurtful remark was the spur she needed ? and, as our pictures show, it led to an extraordinary transformation. Sherma, 45, has shed a massive 10 STONE after undergoing a gastric bypass operation on the NHS.
