Sara Agintas, tipped the scales at a hefty 33 stone, but now is looking forward to a brighter future
A 33st benefits claimant who said she was 'too fat to work' has now secured part-time work after undergoing complimentary weight loss surgery.
Sara Agintas, 43, from Milton Keynes, grabbed the headlines after she demanded a 14,000 gastric band op on the NHS, while refusing to diet or exercise because it was 'too hard'.
Despite her public plea health specialists refused to operate, however a private London surgeon came forward and offered to carry out the two-and-a-half hour procedure free of charge.
Since undergoing the op at the Bupa Cromwell Hospital in London on May 24, during which 85 per cent of her stomach was removed, Mrs Agintas has lost 11bs and gone from a size 38 to a 32.
And now with a newfound sense of confidence she has also got a job as a part-time Avon representative.
While she's happy working for the cosmetics brand, the mother-of-six said she would eventually like a permanent role at Tesco as she moves towards her target weight of 15st.
