In early 2021 TV personality James ‘Arg’ Argent, most famous for being a core member of the cast of TV programme ‘The Only Way is Essex’ (Towie), decided it was time to undergo weight loss surgery. During lockdown he’d struggled with an excessive eating disorder and had stopped exercising and, having reached 26 stone, doctors had warned him that his weight was now a risk to his life.
Arg said at the time, “I’ve struggled with my weight since I was a teenager – I’ve always gone up and down. It’s not a recent thing, it’s not like I’ve just suddenly put on lots of weight. Now I want to do something about it and get weight loss surgery.
“I can’t maintain my weight — I need help. Nobody I know is trying to stop me from having an op – they know it’s the only way I can lose weight and keep it off.”
After carrying out in-depth research into the weight loss options available to him, Arg chose to have his gastric sleeve surgery with Transform.

Like many during lockdown, Danny Dunning’s weight spiraled out of control, exacerbating his existing health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. A stark warning from his GP about the dire consequences of his condition motivated Danny to explore weight loss surgery. Inspired by friends and celebrities like James Argent, he decided on a gastric bypass.
He remembers “I talked to my wife, and then a friend who had had a gastric sleeve procedure and achieved great results. I picked her brains about what surgery could involve, and she was honest with me – she warned me that it wasn’t a quick and easy fix, and I’d need to accept that my lifestyle would completely change if I had surgery.”
Danny’s commitment to his new lifestyle saw him undergo a gastric bypass surgery at The Pines Hospital, leading to a remarkable transformation. In just 12 weeks, he lost over 7 stone, reduced his waist from 60 inches to 38 inches, and significantly improved his health metrics. Now, Danny enjoys shopping off the rack, feels more mentally alive, and is training for charity runs. His journey highlights the profound impact of weight loss surgery on both physical and mental health.
Also, It’s not just physical changes that Danny’s experienced. “Mentally, I feel much more alive, and I’m setting myself goals I never would have imagined before. I realised that I had to face up to a whole raft of things personally, and to be honest my weight loss journey has been brilliant. The only thing I’d go back and change is to have had the procedure sooner.
