Obesity and Sleep Apnea: Exploring Weight Loss Solutions for Sleep Apnea in Kenya

At our weight loss center in Kenya, we're committed to breaking the link between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Our clients frequently experience significant improvements in sleep quality and overall health following weight loss interventions.

Excess weight, especially around the neck, can significantly impact breathing during sleep, leading to OSA.

This condition disrupts sleep and reduces oxygen levels in the body. Given that a vast majority of individuals with OSA are overweight or obese, addressing weight issues is critical in managing and potentially curing sleep apnea.

Sleep Apnea & Obesity FAQs

How does weight loss affect sleep apnea?

Weight loss significantly improves obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by reducing pressure on the airway, which decreases sleep apnea episodes, enhances sleep quality, and lowers health risks associated with OSA.

Our center provides both surgical (e.g., bariatric surgery) and non-surgical (e.g., gastric balloon) weight loss treatments, customized to each individual’s health needs, to effectively improve or resolve sleep apnea symptoms.

Significant weight loss can dramatically improve or even cure sleep apnea in many cases, particularly where obesity is the main cause. Outcomes vary by individual and depend on maintaining a healthy lifestyle after treatment.
