Eniola Badmus, a popular Nollywood actress and script writer, has spoken out about her gastric bypass operation.
The plus-size actress recently confessed she had gastric bypass surgery in Turkey, after her incredible weight-loss makeover wowed fans and coworkers.
A gastric bypass is a procedure that helps people lose weight by altering the way their stomach and small intestine process food. The stomach will be smaller after surgery, and you will feel fuller with less food.
In an interview with City People, Eniola Badmus said she decided to have the operation because she couldn’t control what she ate any longer.
“I’ve changed a lot in terms of my appearance as a result of a decision I made. I want to surprise everyone whenever I decide to have this event. With the pressure and stigma I’ve faced, I’d like to make a difference. So I want to surprise everyone and help myself.
It is not easy. What I can say is it got to a point I could not control what I eat anymore. I eat anything so far it is edible, so from there I knew something fishy was going on. So far I have lost 33kg.
I have other habits but I stopped even the one I thought I could not. I have one terrible habit that I am supposed to have stopped long time ago. This year a lot has changed about me, even I did not see this coming. As the year passed by I decided to change something.” she said.
