Popular singer Alyah and medical expert Dr. Afif Mohd Ridzwan have advised the public to be honest if they have undergone bariatric surgery.
Alyah stressed that many people today are not being truthful about how they actually lost weight.
According to her, honesty is crucial so that others won’t be easily misled by ineffective slimming products.
“If someone has undergone bariatric surgery, there’s no need to hide it. Just be honest about it. Some people lose weight through surgery but claim it’s due to dieting or supplements. That’s not right because it deceives others,” she told Kosmo.
For the record, Alyah herself underwent bariatric surgery in 2022 to improve her health.
Meanwhile, Dr. Afif emphasized that bariatric surgery should be properly understood before proceeding with it.
“I disagree with those who undergo bariatric surgery just to lose weight quickly and then use that as an opportunity to sell slimming products. That’s unethical,” he said.
He also advised the public to consult a doctor first before making any decisions regarding such procedures. –Boom!
