Josie Gibson: Not 'Fat Jabs' but Mum Life & Surgery!

Josie Gibson, known for her role on This Morning, has detailed her recent significant physical transformation, which includes a 2.5 stone weight loss. Gibson has publicly refuted suggestions that her weight loss is attributable to 'fat jabs,' asserting that her busy lifestyle as a single mother juggling a demanding career and home renovations has been the primary driver.

Earlier this year, Gibson disclosed her diagnosis of lipoedema, a condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of fat, particularly in the legs and sometimes arms. She described the diagnosis as a 'light-bulb moment,' explaining that the condition makes it impossible to effectively train away the fat accumulation.

Gibson has also shared her experience with surgical interventions to manage lipoedema. She revealed spending over £7,000 for procedures on her calves, which involved a lipo treatment followed by laser therapy to tighten the skin. She noted that these procedures are performed in stages within the UK due to safety regulations.

Furthermore, Gibson underwent a brachioplasty following liposuction on her arms. She clarified that this was a necessary step due to lipoedema affecting her arms as well. Gibson acknowledged the significant cost and recovery time associated with these procedures, highlighting that such treatments are not accessible to everyone.
