Real Warri Pikin recently shared that her “weight loss surgery” was the toughest decision she ever had to make. Her noticeable physical transformation has sparked many questions about her journey.
The Nigerian comedian, whose real name is Anita Asuoha, revealed her weight loss experience for the first time. She confirmed that she underwent surgery to shed the weight.
In a video posted on her YouTube channel, she expressed that, losing weight is a real struggle, and added that it’s been the most difficult challenge she’s faced. She explained that her battle with weight issues began after giving birth to her children, causing her weight to reach over 120kg post-childbirth.
Despite attempting exercise and dieting, Real Warri Pikin didn’t achieve the desired results. She emphasized that her lack of discipline was the primary reason these methods failed for her. Given the health problems she was grappling with—such as severe knee and chest pain, breathing difficulties, and high cholesterol linked to her weight—her doctor advised her to consider weight loss surgery.
Real Warri Pikin disclosed, “I had to be rushed to the hospital almost every week.” Her doctor recommended the surgery to address her ongoing issues, as exercise and dieting hadn’t yielded the expected outcomes.
She also touched on the benefits of fitness and working out, highlighted the support she received from her husband and family throughout her journey, and emphasized the importance of discipline in maintaining her newfound fitness.
