Dr. Swaleh Swabra – Gastric Bypass Testimonial
By NBC
Life Before Gastric Bypass
I struggled with obesity for a while, initially it was all nice and rosy, it was something to laugh about, a chunkier bum and everything. Then the diseases started creeping in and before you know it you are handling a lot in terms of metabolic derangement. I knew that I had to start a journey to take my control back emotionally, psychologically, physically and health wise. With my medical background I knew and understood about the danger of obesity
My Nairobi Bariatric experience
I found out about Nairobi Bariatric Center from a mutual friend, she had the surgery before, and she happened to be my client. So I took note of how it was, and she looked good for her age, so I asked her about it and she told me about the center.
Life after Gastric Bypass
Now 2 years later after gastric bypass surgery , what does 70kgs loss feels like? -It feels like a new beginning. 115 kgs versus 45kgs What have I achieved in those two years? -Normal cholesterol levels -Off thyroid medication for hypothyroidism -No longer pre diabetic -No more aching knees -No more sleep dyspnoea -Summiting Mt.Kenya-twice -Summitting Kilimanjaro -Done 16 other amazing hiking feats I am not afraid to dream anymore.
