Before starting her weight loss journey, Maureen Waititu reached 94 kg with a BMI of 30. Carrying excess weight created severe health challenges, including exacerbated asthma, chronic back pain, and weak ankle support.
"I did everything I could to stay fit and healthy but no matter how many times I worked out or how little I ate, I kept piling on the kilos. It affected my confidence and social life," Maureen shares.
In November 2022, Maureen walked into Nairobi Bariatric Center. She selected the Intragastric Balloon procedure and paired it with psychotherapy to address her relationship with food.
"The team was so supportive; I really loved how they were always on call taking care of me during the adaptation period," she notes.
In just 4 months, Maureen lost 22 kg. Her asthma symptoms cleared, her back pain disappeared, and her physical vitality returned completely.
"My energy levels are higher now more than ever- I feel 16 again! Thank you Nairobi Bariatric for giving me a second chance."
