Life Before Gastric Balloon
Post-Lockdown, I really struggled to get back to my more active, healthier (and frankly less heavy) self, and I had been hitting a brick wall. The scale and inches were simply NOT moving! I had always been that child who was a little bit bigger than her friends, honestly i think I lacked discipline from that age and my weight begun to pile and pile and I got heavier. So my struggle with weight loss had been concurrent, I think I got to a place where I was inspired by the fact that I really just wanted to be healthier.
My Nairobi Bariatric experience
I first heard about Nairobi Baraitric online,and immediately came in for a consultation with Dr.Shchukina.They did a great job at preparing me for the procedure, we went through several procedures that were available for me. The gastric balloon was recommended, I was so scared to do something intrusive like surgery so we settled for the gastric balloon.
Life after Gastric Balloon
My journey started in February 2023. I lost over 10kgs in 2 months and wow things were starting to move I finally started feeling like I am in control again!
6 months down the line, clothes started fitting and this was supper exciting for me.
The other biggest achievement was my a change of mindset and my relationship with food also improved a lot and that was wonderful.The experience had a great impact on me not only physically but also mentally, I feel so energized and ready for the next challenge.
