Weight Loss Options in Kenya: Semaglutide / Tirzepatide vs. Surgery & Gastric Balloon

Have you been struggling with weight loss, despite trying everything?

You’ve done the diets, the workouts, the fasting… but the weight keeps creeping back. You’re not alone – many people in Nairobi and across Kenya face the same challenge. The good news is modern medicine has once again changed the game.

At Dr. Stasch’s Clinic, we offer medically supervised weight loss solutions that work. If you’ve heard about weight loss injections like Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), you might be wondering:

Should I consider weight loss injections or choose weight loss surgery or a gastric balloon?

Let us break it down for you.

Semaglutide & Tirzepatide for Weight Loss

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) are scientifically proven weight loss treatments that work by reducing appetite, controlling cravings and improving metabolism. Unlike surgery, they don’t involve risks of incisions, long recovery periods or permanent changes to your digestive system.

These once-a-week injections have helped many patients lose 10–15% of their body weight in a safe and controlled way. But here’s the key difference at Dr. Stasch’s Clinic:

  • We don’t just give you an injection and send you home.
  • We guide you on how to transform your lifestyle so that your weight loss is lasting.

Because the real goal isn’t just losing weight – it’s keeping it off for good.

Why choose Semaglutide (Ozempic)?

1. No Surgery, No Downtime

Weight loss injections are non-invasive, safe and easy. You won’t need weeks off work or go through a painful recovery as you would after bariatric surgery. You can start seeing results within weeks, without disrupting your daily lifestyle.

2. No Risk of Weight Regain (If You Follow the Right Plan!)

Many people who opt for gastric balloons regain weight as soon as the balloon is removed. Surgery is more effective, but it requires lifelong diet restrictions and can lead to nutritional deficiencies.

At Dr. Stasch’s Clinic, we combine weight loss medications with expert nutritional guidance and metabolic coaching, so you lose weight safely and permanently.

3. More Than Just Weight Loss – Better Health Too!

These treatments do more than help you lose weight. They also:

  • Improve blood sugar levels (great for prediabetes and insulin resistance).
  • Reduce inflammation (helps with joint pains, heart health and general well-being).
  • Lower the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension.

Many patients no longer need medications for high blood pressure or diabetes after achieving a healthy weight.

A Personal Approach: Why Medical Supervision Matters

Weight loss isn’t just about getting an injection. It’s about learning how to eat, how to move, and how to make long-term changes.

That’s why at Dr. Stasch’s Clinic, we take a different approach:

  • Comprehensive Weight Loss Plan – You won’t just get a prescription; we’ll work with you on nutrition, exercise and mindset coaching.
  • Medical Supervision for Your Safety – Not everyone is a candidate for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. We assess your health history and monitor your progress carefully.
  • Lifestyle Coaching for Long-Term Success – We focus on teaching you how to maintain your weight loss naturally. Because the goal isn’t just losing weight - it’s keeping it off.

Who is it Right For?

  • You have a BMI of 27+ and struggle with weight loss.
  • You don’t want to go through surgery or a long recovery.
  • You want a proven, medical approach supervised by experts.
  • You’re ready to commit to lifestyle changes so the weight doesn’t come back.

🚫 We do NOT recommend long-term use of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide (Mounjaro). Instead, we focus on getting you to a healthy weight and guide you on how to maintain it naturally.
