@DrGeeONE Thank you my Chief

Five key findings from our study of 168 patients who underwent either intragastric balloon placement or sleeve gastrectomy at GetSlim Bariatric Center, Nigeria:

1. 47% had at least one obesity-related health condition.

2. 84.6% of men had an obesity-related condition, compared with 43.9% of women.

3. 69% were young adults aged 21–40.

4. Hypertension was the commonest comorbidity (28.6%).

5. Patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy had significantly higher BMI and body weight than those receiving gastric balloons.

Hopefully these characteristic can be used by policymakers, health insurance companies and clinicians to help improve awareness, referral and treatment programs.

Miss V. started her gastric sleeve journey at 138kg. 10 months later, she’s lost over 30kg, feels lighter and is happy with her progress.
We’re so proud of her and look forward to seeing her continue on this journey.

NMA should send a warning mail to event planners and MCs. It should be a punishable crime to hail a medical doctor working in Nigeria. Even if he is provoked and sprays you money, he would be in distress before the day is over. Don’t you people know how poorly paid we are in Nigeria? Stop it please

[‘Timi Adenuga @TimiMD]

@Deji_MaOzi Yes ooo. Or if he needs a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

My 9 year old patient lost 9kg in one month after our intervention. The excitement in her voice when we spoke has made my entire day. I am a happy weight loss doctor today.

Prayers up for my 130kg 12year old patient. Hopefully she would be as happy in a few weeks too. 🙏🏽

It’s really very hard to be an entrepreneur in this country. Everybody, including people you regard as ‘friends’ and ‘family’ try to defraud you at every turn. We are a very low trust society and if someone gives you their word, you have to get two or three other opinions. So sad.

Its not everytime founders analyse and draw a pros and cons table before making ‘big’ decisions. We once changed our main company bankers from red to the burgundy group mainly because last Christmas, the latter gave us a very hefty hamper. The red bank people brought an hamper too but it paled in comparison. This year, red bank has promised to outdo burgundy bank. We wait 😁

Many people don’t know they can get help with their weight issues. Many people are stuck buying peptides from unqualified charlatans on social media and don’t know weight loss injections are prescription drugs. Many people still don’t know bariatric surgery is done routinely right here in Nigeria. We have a lot of work to do raising awareness and busting myths. Glad to have resurrected our podcast last weekend.

Retratrutide trial results shows 25% total weight loss after 80weeks. There is a big possibility that Nigeria’s first generation of weight loss surgeons would be its last 😭😭😭. Medications are taking over

@Omoboni__ A beauty. Congratulations. God bless your home. Your husband is sooo lucky. 😍

[‘Timi Adenuga @TimiMD]

@JoshuaSamuell More impact, personal fulfillment and satisfaction, better weather, proximity to old friends and family, and yes, sometimes more ‘untaxed’ money.

[‘Timi Adenuga @TimiMD]

@fimiletoks This is equally crazy and scary. How is a prescription drug being handled this way???

[‘Timi Adenuga @TimiMD]

@Omoboni__ Rich woman. Send me money naa ☹️

[‘Timi Adenuga @TimiMD]

There is a reason Lagos is the center of excellence. I was on a panel yesterday and it’s amazing how many new areas of medicine are still untapped in this our Nigeria. Big shoutout to my brother @DeboOdulana and his team. Looking forward to the coming exciting days.
