During an interview with Ghanaian journalist Doreen Avio on JoyNews, Real Warri Pikin revealed that she had faced numerous health issues due to her weight before undergoing gastric sleeve surgery.
These health problems often required her to be hospitalized, causing a significant impact on her ability to perform and support herself.
The comedian-turned-actress admitted that the journey was not easy at all. She had to miss out on comedic events and even had to return money that had already been paid to her.
Real Warri Pikin shared the criticism she received after opening up about her gastric sleeve surgery, expressing her regret for the negative comments and questioning her decision to share further details about her transformation.
She said:
“I almost regretted coming out to say my truth, because people do not accept change. They are stuck with the old version of you because your old version makes them happy, and comfortable.
They are plus size, they’re big, they can relate and it makes them happy. So, when you change they feel like you’ve betrayed them, they can’t accept change,” she said.
Real Warri Pikin revealed that she had weight reduction surgery in a recent tearful YouTube video detailing her progress.
She acknowledged that choosing to have surgery was a brave decision that was not taken lightly. Real Warri Pikin clarified that her decision was motivated by health issues when her spouse revealed his fears and implied that her life was in jeopardy.
Real Warri Pikin also revealed the sincere reasons behind her choice. She disclosed that Ikechukwu, her spouse, fully endorsed her decision to get the procedure.
She said:
“Ikechukwu told me that I must do a weight loss surgery because he doesn’t want to lose me. It was a challenging time for me.
This was in January 2023. I would cry, go to the gym, work out, and eat right. I struggled because I couldn’t eat what I wanted to eat. It was a difficult decision to make, whether to opt for weight loss surgery or try to lose weight naturally.
Everyone around me had made up their minds except me. But one day, I woke up and said, ‘baby, I’m ready, let’s do this.’ It was the most difficult decision of my life, but I went ahead with the weight loss surgery.
