At Nairobi Bariatric Center, we address the often-overlooked link between obesity and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) through targeted weight loss programs designed to alleviate symptoms and enhance digestive health. Obesity significantly increases the risk of GERD by causing increased abdominal pressure and hormonal/physical changes that lead to acid reflux. Studies indicate a threefold increase in GERD risk for individuals with obesity, and even moderate weight gain can worsen symptoms. Weight loss, especially in the abdominal region, has shown to significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of GERD symptoms. NBC Kenya offers effective weight loss procedures, including gastric bypass and gastric sleeve surgery, as well as non-surgical options like the gastric balloon, with successful outcomes in reducing GERD symptoms. “Kevin,” a 37-year-old patient, experienced relief from severe GERD after gastric bypass surgery, achieving substantial weight loss and improving overall well-being. If struggling with GERD related to obesity, explore personalized weight loss solutions at NBC Kenya for a healthier life with fewer symptoms.

Obesity intensifies the likelihood of hyperhidrosis, causing discomfort and social challenges. The extra body fat acts as an insulator, increasing body temperature and leading to excessive sweating.

Nairobi Bariatric Center specializes in transformative weight loss procedures like gastric bypass and gastric sleeve, which have successfully alleviated excessive sweating and improved overall well-being for many patients.

Obesity exacerbates joint pain, particularly in the knees, with individuals being four to five times more likely to develop knee osteoarthritis. The added weight translates to four kilograms of extra pressure on the knees per kilogram during activities like walking. Excess weight increases the load on knee joints, accelerating wear and tear, and contributes to chronic inflammation. However, even a modest weight loss of 5-10% can significantly reduce joint pain and improve mobility, with studies showing a fourfold reduction in knee load per step for every kilogram lost. NBC Kenya offers transformative weight loss procedures like gastric bypass and gastric sleeve, exemplified by “Michael,” a 42-year-old patient who, post-gastric sleeve surgery, lost 25% of his body weight and experienced a remarkable reduction in knee pain, inspiring others facing similar challenges. Our expert team in Kenya is dedicated to guiding you towards tailored weight management solutions for a pain-free life.
