Renowned Kenyan actress Kate Actress chose the non-surgical Allurion Gastric Balloon at Nairobi Bariatric Center to break the exhausting gym-appetite cycle and prepare for a major acting role.

The gastric balloon procedure was the kickstart I needed, and it has set me on a path towards a healthier, happier life.
— Kate Actress, Gastric Balloon Case Study
Before deciding on the gastric balloon procedure, I found myself stuck in a frustrating cycle. I was determined to lose weight, so I'd go to the gym regularly, pushing myself to work hard and burn calories. However, each time I returned home, my appetite seemed insatiable, and I'd end up eating more than I should, leading to weight gain and feeling defeated.
Another major factor was an upcoming acting role. I wanted to look significantly different for this role, and it was a strong motivator to make a change. I realized I needed a medical kickstart to break the cycle and achieve my goals.
"I realized that I needed something to kickstart my weight loss journey and give me a much-needed boost."
When I finally decided to go through with the procedure, I was filled with anxiety. But the team at Nairobi Bariatric Center made all the difference. The staff were incredibly supportive and reassuring, explaining that it was fast and painless.
For the gastric balloon, they gave me a capsule to swallow, and once in place, they filled it with fluid. The entire process was smooth, professional, and over before I knew it.
The team provided me with a comprehensive patient guidebook outlining a structured diet that started with pureed foods and progressed to solids, emphasizing 150ml/150g portions.
A month after the procedure, I had lost significant inches off my body: my waist went from 35 to 33 inches, my bust from 40 to 37 inches, and my hips from 50 to 48 inches. My sweatpants were baggy, and I felt energized and motivated.
"The transformation has been more than just physical — it has given me a new perspective on healthy living and weight management."
