After stressful life events caused her weight to escalate to 121 kg with fatty liver disease and diabetes, Lucy found hope, health, and renewed fertility at Nairobi Bariatric Center.

The treatment not only enhanced my physical health and normalized my blood markers, but also boosted my confidence and gave me hope for starting a family.
— Lucy, Gastric Balloon Case Study
Before 2017, I maintained a healthy weight between 57 and 65 kilograms, enjoying swimming and walking. However, life changed drastically when stress, poor nutrition, and a demanding job contributed to rapid weight gain.
By 2022, I weighed 121 kilograms and faced severe health challenges, including fatty liver disease, diabetes, and hormonal imbalances that compromised my fertility and daily vitality.
"By 2022, I weighed 121 kilograms and faced numerous health challenges, including fatty liver disease and diabetes."
My experience at Nairobi Bariatric Center was life-changing. Initially filled with anxiety, the compassionate clinical team — including Dr. Shchukina and Dr. Males — provided immense counseling and attentive post-procedure care.
The team fostered a supportive community with fellow patients, helping me navigate initial dietary restrictions and comfortable recovery.
Post-procedure, my life transformed remarkably. I improved all key health markers, including blood sugar levels and lipid profiles.
My menstrual cycles became regular and painless, my energy surged, and I can now run, swim, and cross my legs comfortably, with renewed optimism for starting a family.
"The procedure enhanced my physical health, normalized my diabetes markers, and restored my quality of life."
