Sharon’s Weight Loss Success Story

By NBC 


Written by Tasha
It is often believed that overweight people are lazy, irresponsible, unmotivated and good for nothing. This is simply not true. Sharon had been struggling with her weight since she was in high school. She tried everything from exercise, slimming pills, and even the Atkins diet, but was still unsuccessful in her weight loss.
Sharon wasn’t the only one in her family to struggle with excess weight. Weight-related complications and diabetes led to her mother being admitted in hospital many times. During her last admission, she spent two months in the ICU, after which Sharon’s mother died.
Through doctors’ consultations, Sharon learnt that the only way to prevent diabetes and its complications is to get rid of the extra weight. So, she continued with her journey to a healthy weight. An essential part of this journey was to analyze her own situation, considering previous unsuccessful attempts to get sustainable weight loss using conventional methods such as diet plans, food supplements and exercise. Sharon finally understood that Bariatric Surgery would be the only effective solution for her.
She ventured online in search of surgical weight loss solution for weeks on end, and all she found was that this and other medical weight loss procedures are done in Thailand, Malaysia and India. Sharon was both surprised and relieved to later learn that there are weight loss doctors in Kenya who specialize in and offer Medical as well as Surgical Weight Loss solutions.
This was an exciting discovery for her. She could finally get a lasting weight loss treatment without incurring additional travel costs. Her research online also showed her that the procedure would be more expensive overseas than in Kenya. Ultimately, Sharon chose to have the Gastric Sleeve.
All medical tests and evaluations were done before admission.  It was laparoscopic procedure and Immediately after the surgery, Sharon was comfortable and only had minimal pain and small, almost invisible scarring on the stomach of about 1 cm. She was discharged one day after the Sleeve procedure was done and walked out of the Nairobi Hospital with a big smile on her face.
A short while later, the food cravings she had before reduced. She continued with regular follow-up visits with her weight loss doctor who was easily available to her at his clinic as well as on telephone calls.
It’s been two years since Sharon had the weight loss surgery and now she has a perfectly healthy BMI of 22.
“This is the thing I thank Holistic Living for: it shows that they are not just after money but after the person’s health improvement. They have time to take good care of their patients” she said.
Interestingly, when someone asks Sharon how much she spent on her weight loss surgery, she usually gives this answer: “If you compare the amount money which my family spent on my mother’s last admission, while trying to do everything possible to save her, with the cost of the weight loss surgery, it’s just a peanut”.
Sharon continued, “this process has boosted my confidence a lot and changed me a lot, I love myself more. I am happy that I am out of danger of developing diabetes. I am more comfortable with my size and no longer ashamed.
Thank you, Holistic Living. I’m forever grateful.”
