In a recent Instagram post, popular Citizen TV presenter Willis Raburu shared his remarkable progress after undergoing a medical procedure to aid in weight loss a few months ago. The media personality proudly announced that he has successfully shed an impressive 40 kilograms within a relatively short period of time.
"I remember when I thought about doing the gastric bypass surgery. It was intense, but I was suffering. My confidence was low, my pressure was high, I had tried the gym but kept bouncing back and honestly, the cost will make you think twice, BUT I learned that it’s an investment in myself. If I don’t believe in myself and want what’s best for me, who will? It is an option it’s almost treated with disdain, and most people want to do it privately, and that is ok. However, we must be bold, especially when it’s a life-saving procedure," stated Willis.
"I hope that insurance companies reconsider their policies and provide coverage for such procedures. It would be beneficial if more organizations stepped forward to assist individuals in accessing this life-changing surgery. The prevalence of obesity among children is increasing according to statistics. Let's continue to engage in open discussions and pursue knowledge on this topic. I am here and willing to contribute to these conversations," he added.

"Also, please, I did the GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY. Don’t be fooled by some ads about black latte tea or some powder!" he adviced.
Willis had adopted his humongous size as something of a brand image. Even the slang word 'Bazu' had become synonymous to him. But his 164 kilos weight had started to take its toll on his health, and he was facing the threat of high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Willis also says he came out publicly with the news because he wanted to prove that there’s no shame in getting surgical help when it comes to weight loss. Well, it is good that the procedure is bearing fruit.
Speaking on his parent company website Citizen Digital, Willis confirmed the news; “I did it at Nairobi Bariatric and enjoying the process. I would like to debunk the fact that weight loss treatment is almost taboo in this country yet it's so effective...it's a journey towards a healthier nation.”
Willis also shared his struggles with natural weight loss methods like working out and how to rebound weight after going to the gym always left him worse off. “I respect people who go to the gym, it really is a lot of work. I would lose weight, and at times I would gain some weight so by the time I was going for the surgery I was not doing well,” he dished.
