Comedian Real Warri Pikin Says Gastric Sleeve Surgery Helped Her Conceive Effortlessly

Comedian Anita Asuoha, has revealed that gastric sleeve surgery helped her conceive and has not affected her pregnancy in any way.
The show host made this known during an interview with Punch.




Real Warri Pikin said she was having a risk-free and smooth pregnancy journey because of her decision to undergo the surgery.
She said the surgery helped her get pregnant easily, and it eliminated many issues she was battling with, including being overweight, stressing that obese people find it difficult to conceive.

She said, “A lot of people are ignorant because they don’t understand what a gastric sleeve surgery is. It involved removing 80 per cent of my stomach, and it has helped me achieve a healthy weight and improved my overall well-being.

“With my surgery, I am even supposed to get pregnant on time because it took away a lot of issues I was having that were caused by my being overweight. I am not facing any health challenges.

“The surgery had nothing to do with my womb, or my reproductive system in general. Many obese people who are actually trying to give birth find it difficult because of their size, but when they lose weight, it becomes easy.”

When asked about concerns regarding her working while pregnant, Real Warri Pikin said she does not need to pause everything in her life simply because she is having a baby.

She said, “At what point was it stated that pregnancy means you cannot do certain things? My doctor has confirmed I am perfectly fine, and I am not a high-risk patient, so why shouldn’t I work? Our mothers and those before them went to the farms until they gave birth.

"Some even delivered their babies on the farm. So why should my being pregnant and hosting a show in the US be treated as an exception? Being pregnant does not mean I have to put my life on hold.

"I still have my children, my husband, my marriage, and my business to run. Why should I pause everything simply because I am expecting another baby?”
