Citizen TV presenter Willis Raburu has revealed that doctors had given him a timetable to be alive, saying he would have died by December 2022.

This was due to his excess weight which made his nerves begin to shrink.

In an interview with BBC News Africa, Raburu says that it pushed him to make changes in his lifestyle.

“The doctor said I wouldn’t be able to make it past December 2022. When I lost my daughter, I ate a lot. I was eating everything and in large quantities. Drinking alcohol.

The day I went to get tested I weighed 164 kg and I couldn’t believe it.

The doctor told me that due to the way my heart was acting, I had high blood pressure for a long time. He told me that by Christmas I would have a stroke, heart attack or something else,” Rabiuru said.

Raburu had previously tried exercise, detoxification, and many other ways to lose weight without success.

That’s why he chose to have a gastric bypass procedure.
