Sandra Dacha Hilariously Reflects on Breathing Struggles in Throwback Photo Before Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Kenyan actress and event organiser Sandra Dacha has amused social media users after sharing an old photograph taken before undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, accompanied by a hilarious remark about her breathing.

She added that even oxygen appeared to have been questioning her condition, offering a humorous reflection on her appearance before her recent weight-loss journey.

“Somebody please confirm if my lungs were really functioning or just attending meetings. I know even oxygen was looking at me like, ‘Madam, tutafute njia ingine ama!’” Sandra Dacha said.

Her post offered another glimpse into how she now looks back at her previous appearance following her decision to undergo gastric sleeve surgery.

Dacha has been sharing updates about her transformation, giving followers a glimpse into her experience before and after the procedure.

Sandra Dacha Opens Up About Gastric Sleeve Surgery

The actress recently revealed that she underwent gastric sleeve surgery on September 30, 2026.

The procedure came weeks after she shared an emotional video showing her being wheeled into an operating room, sparking curiosity among her followers about what was happening.

On Monday, November 9, 2026, Dacha decided to explain the footage after receiving questions from people who had watched the video.

“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,” Dacha said.

She disclosed that she had undergone gastric sleeve surgery, a weight-loss procedure also known as sleeve gastrectomy.

The operation involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving behind a smaller, narrow tube-shaped section resembling a banana.

By reducing the stomach’s capacity, the procedure limits the amount of food a person can consume at one time. Approximately 75 to 80 per cent of the stomach is removed during the operation.

Dacha’s latest throwback post comes shortly after she opened up about the surgery, with the actress continuing to share glimpses of her weight-loss journey and transformation with her followers.
