Ciru Muriuki – Gastric Balloon Testimonial
By NBC
Life Before Gastric Balloon
At the end of the year 2022 I just felt like I had let things get out of hand when it came to my health. I had just had thyroid surgery, and so I had to take a long, hard look at how I was living.
The verdict was not good. I was eating really badly, not exercising, and as a result my mood was all over the place, and I felt really sluggish.I wasn’t sleeping well, found it really hard to get up in the morning…basically, a mess! Then on top of that, my health had begun to suffer. My joints hurt, and I could not go up a flight of stairs without huffing and puffing. Let’s not even talk about my mental health. My confidence was in the toilet and I hated looking in the mirror.
My Nairobi Bariatric experience
So in February 2023, I decided enough was enough. I started working with Nairobi Bariatric and the aim was to get back to a healthy weight. They really supported me so much during this health journey even long after the balloon.They are the only bariatric/weight loss procedure professionals that walk with you step by step. I was added to a WhatsApp group with other people who had the gastric balloon done…and when I tell you that group helped me through the TRENCHES?? When I was about to give up, they were there!
Life after Gastric Balloon
6 months in after the insertion, I had lost 20Kgs. Let me tell you my clothes started fitting, I fit into a jumpsuit that I had not worn in 4 years. It was lonely in my closet. Honestly, working with Nairobi Bariatric was one of the smartest decisions I made this year.
