According to Melly Goeslaw, she wanted to undergo bariatric surgery, besides being diagnosed with acute diabetes, her mental state was also affected.
"The decision is up to each individual because those who experience the suffering are the ones who are overweight, not only physically, but mentally as well. It's like entering a store to look for clothes, and the salesperson would say sorry sir/madam, we don't have any big sizes," she said.
Now, Melly said that after a year of undergoing bariatric surgery, her body weight has decreased by up to 35 kilograms. She no longer has trouble finding clothes to wear.
"Thank God, after losing weight, it's more comfortable to wear clothes. Now, there are many sponsors who want to provide clothes. In the past, many didn't want to because it was difficult to stock them, and they had to be specially tailored because the sizes were different," she said.
2. About Diabetes and Pain in Her Knee
When asked about the effect of bariatric surgery on her diabetes condition, Melly said that her blood sugar has returned to normal. Furthermore, Melly also admitted that she no longer feels pain in her knees.
"My blood sugar is also normal, it used to be 250, now it's 99-100, around that range. And I no longer have knee pain because before, my knees were painful to the point of cracking, maybe because of going up and down the stairs carrying a load (body) of 87 to 110 kilograms. Now, Alhamdulillah, I'm healed," she said.
Currently, Melly said her body weight ranges from 52-53 kilograms. She admitted that she has no intention of losing more weight.
"I'm still around 52-53, never dropped below 50. This is the most successful achievement. I'm grateful and have no intention of losing more weight," she said.
