Caroline Mutoko- Why I did the GASTRIC BALLOON! My weight loss journey with Nairobi Bariatric Center

[@elainechepkoskei2983]

Today is my Day 21 after I had the Gastric balloon procedure done @Nairobi Bariatric and I'm 8Kgs down. I'm able to do some work outs and this was one of the best things I have done for myself. I love it here.....If you're thinking about it... please go ahead and visit the centre. Lovely people!

[@surahya100]

I am 42 wear size 6 clothes, intermittent fasting,lots of fruits and vegetables and protein, healthy sugar free snacks sometimes,lots of water and strength exercise

[@doctorrees4473]

Way to go, I have lost a lot of weight just by changing my eating habits. Intermittent fasting has really helped me.

[@Hot_PlateMeals]

Fasting Fasting and Fasting period!

[@enn4983]

Great work letting people see the inside of the programme. But it makes me feel so lucky because I swim for weight loss. I know that not everyone can get into the pool and swim as they want. I recommend those who can to learn swimming and use it for weight loss and forgo such programmes. Again disciplined walking 30 or 40 minutes a day can help a lot too. Good luck to all those looking into managing their weight for better health.

[@africanqueenmo]

This is just another advert for an unnecessary surgical procedure a short cut to weight loss rather than go through the challenge of self discipline towards a lifestyle change. This is crazy. Please lets avoid this I"m also overweight from a sedentary lifestyle in a cold country but now Im working towards weight loss through a more active lifestyle and less eating. No surgery is risk free and it has no guarantee for side effects.

[@professional254]

My thoughts exactly. Why not address the root cause of the weight gain? Our parents & grandparents ate healthy and were constantly on the move (exercise) & they didn't have the high rate of our current lifestyle diseases

[@africanqueenmo]

@@professional254 yes exactly

[@kadzo6614]

Their choice. Why do you care? 🤔

[@lm7528]

Thank you. We should stop this shaming and judgement when someone proactively seeks safe ways to attain a healthy sustainable weight

[@Christ_In_Me]

I'm here for the fluency and articulation that i admire from Caroline as an African woman but my best of wishes to anyone struggling to keep their weight in check.Please be kind to yourself and may God guide you to actualise choices that make your heart's desires come to pass.

[@RachelMitchell-bg3pu]

the woman's courage to address her weight loss concerns is so inspiring. i've battled with work-related stress-induced weight gain for a long time. it's been a struggle to take care of myself while juggling a demanding career. Aspect Health has been a game-changer for me. i've learned stress-management techniques and made customized dietary adjustments that have not only helped me shed excess weight but also find a renewed sense of balance.

[@Akatsa66]

Seek alternative means before this kind of medical interventions. If it's diet related why not just begin the journey of reducing your intake of food. I'm a prime example in 2017 I was 105. I begun the journey of reducing my weight. I started by having light meals every morning, lunch and dinner. I got into an exercise regime, began running short distances... Built it with time to long distances! Today I'm 76kgs I only have 2 meals. One light meal mid morning and another meal mid afternoon. In short let's explore other options before this.

[@africanqueenmo]

Congrats

[@tabbyk4660]

[@africanqueenmo]

@@tabbyk4660 nothing worthwhile comes easy.

[@trisd9103]

Curious,.. Why do you think it was easy for her to achieve this? ​@@tabbyk4660

[@gamzaify]

Great to see that Caroline is taking a step towards a healthier weight goal. I hope this won't influence people to consider this as the first option. surgery should ideally be an option for only the morbidly obese. The likes we see in the US who can barely walk. If you can walk, you can loose weight naturally via diet control and exercise. Loosing weight too fast via surgery can also result in saggy skin. Which will then also require surgery to remove.

[@Limarks-m5o]

Gastric bypass has allot of adverse effect plus people end up gaining the same weight back. Lately people are prefer medication Ozempic which is very expensive but better than surgery which is not reversible.

[@oobrowyeonarm3339]

People are looking for easy ways out. I heard celebrities who used it saying don't do it, cause sometimes it you can lose too much weight u end up looking like skeleton and can't gain back weight...lol 😂 if u eat lightly...once a day...lots of vegetables, fruits and some protein....u will lose weight....people in Kenya are eating fast foods processed foods and no exercise...even in village, u take boda boda...lol

There is nothing wrong with what she did. What matters is she is utilizing her resources to better her health and quality of life. The end goal is what matters if done correctly. She’s with actual doctors giving her guidance

[@warigiapurity8252]

Fasting fasting and exercise. disciplined eating do not eat all what comes your way. Eat to live. Actually if you eat a balanced diet in the right proportions you will be ok. No surgery only discipline. Let this mind be in you also that was in Christ Jesus.

[@donatio1]

Is it possible to do this and somehow target the stomach area?

[@nairobibariatric]

Hey Donatio , it's important to note that the primary purpose of the gastric balloon is to help with overall weight loss rather than targeting a specific area, such as the stomach. The gastric balloon works by occupying space in the stomach, which makes people feel full more quickly and reduces their food intake. This leads to weight loss over the duration of the treatment. While it can contribute to a reduction in abdominal fat, the effects are generally more systemic rather than focused solely on the stomach area. Learn more: www.nairobibariatric.co.ke
