Saumu Mbuvi, the eldest daughter of former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko, is set to undergo an expensive surgery to lose weight.
The mother of two revealed she plans to undergo gastric bypass surgery while engaging her fans in an interactive Questions and Answers (Q&A) session with her fans on social media.
“Hey, beautiful. What’s your current weight?” The fan posed.
To which Saumu responded;
“Of late, I don’t know but I’m really considering doing a gastric bypass soon. I miss being tiny ama ningojee mwili mpya. Enye nitapewa mbinguni (Or should I wait for the new body I will get when I go to heaven?)
Gastric bypass surgery which usually costs between Ksh600,000 and Ksh900,000.
Gastric bypass is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting the newly created pouch directly to the small intestine.
Gastric bypass surgery shrinks the size of your stomach, so you can’t eat as much as you used to. The surgeon will also re-route, or bypass, part of your digestive system so you don’t absorb as much food. [sic]
Celebrities like Willis Raburu have undergone gastric bypass in a bid to lose weight.
