Kenyan actress SANDRA DACHA opens up about her drastic weight loss journey, reveals doctors removed 80% of her stomach – "This is my story”

Monday, November 09, 2026 - Kenyan actress Sandra Dacha has opened up about her weight-loss journey, revealing that doctors removed up to 80 per cent of her stomach during gastric sleeve surgery.

The actress disclosed that she underwent the procedure on September 30, 2026, weeks after sharing an emotional video showing her being wheeled into the operating theatre.

Taking to social media on Monday, November 9, Dacha explained that the video had sparked curiosity among her followers, prompting her to finally reveal what had happened and why she had undergone the operation.

“A few of you have been wondering what was happening in that emotional video I shared last week, where I was being taken into the surgery room.

“Well, it’s time to let you in,” she revealed.

Explaining the procedure, Dacha said gastric sleeve surgery involves doctors removing approximately 75 to 80 per cent of the stomach, leaving behind a smaller, banana-shaped stomach.

The procedure reduces the stomach's capacity, helping patients consume smaller portions, feel full faster and potentially lose significant amounts of weight.

“A gastric sleeve is a weight-loss surgery where doctors remove about 75-80% of the stomach, leaving a smaller, banana-shaped stomach.

“This helps you: Eat smaller portions. Feel full faster. Reduce hunger. Lose significant weight,” she explained.

She also opened up about the fear and uncertainty she experienced before undergoing the operation.

 “That emotional moment was real. I was scared, overwhelmed, hopeful and uncertain about what lay ahead. It was a big decision, and I knew I was stepping into a new chapter of my life,” she added.

She acknowledged that her announcement would attract questions and differing opinions but expressed readiness to share her experience gradually.

“This is my story, my journey and my new chapter.

“So ladies and gentlemen… Welcome to the next chapter of my TRANSFORMATION,” she concluded.
