— Rafiq Ahmed, Lost 53.0 kg with Gastric Bypass
Before I came to Nairobi Bariatric Center, I weighed 170 kg. I was suffering from severe asthma, high blood pressure, and I sadly could not take ten steps without feeling immense pain and strain on my body.
I was living with extreme obesity, and I decided that taking control of my health was what I needed for my family and my future.
"I was suffering from asthma and high blood pressure, and sadly could not take ten steps without feeling pain and strain on my body."
Nairobi Bariatric was exceptionally helpful. They taught me and prepared me on how to manage my nutrition post-op, making the transition seamless and structured.
Combining surgery with regular psychotherapy was crucial. The medical guidance and psychological support went hand-in-hand to help me lose weight sustainably.
On June 17th 2021, I underwent surgery at 151 kg. Within 2 months post-surgery, I had lost 21 kg, following my nutritionist's and doctor's instructions closely.
I lost 44 kg in 8 months and now 53 kg in two years. I can walk up flights of stairs effortlessly, and my blood pressure medications are completely gone. I feel like I am growing younger and younger every day.
