After years of severe sleep apnea and relying on a CPAP machine every night, Hans underwent Gastric Sleeve surgery at Nairobi Bariatric Center, completely retiring his CPAP machine.
I had relied on a CPAP machine every night for sleep apnea. Now, I've retired the machine and I don't even snore anymore.
— Hans, Lost 40.0 kg with Gastric Sleeve
Before surgery, life had become increasingly burdensome. Climbing stairs was exhausting, and severe sleep apnea left me fatigued and tethered to a CPAP machine every night.
Having considered bariatric surgery years earlier in Norway, I knew I was finally ready to make a permanent change for my health.
"Everything felt heavy. Walking upstairs was a struggle, and I relied on a CPAP machine every night."
After reviewing NBC's patient outcomes and consulting the clinical team, I traveled to Nairobi for surgery.
Post-op psychotherapy, weekly support groups, and guided therapy audios during walks provided practical, reassuring guidance throughout my recovery.
Over 12 months, I dropped from 126 kg to 86 kg — losing 40 kg. The greatest victory has been resolving my sleep apnea: I have completely retired my CPAP machine and no longer snore.
My mobility has soared: I recently walked up seven flights of stairs to the clinic without hesitation, and dropped trouser sizes from 36 down to a comfortable 32.
"For anyone considering bariatric surgery, I can say from my own experience: it is completely worth it."
