| In November 2024, Shahrul Nizam made a life-changing decision: to undergo a SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodeno–Ileal bypass with Sleeve gastrectomy) procedure with Dr. Kumar. Just five months later, he has shed over 60 kilograms, dropping from 185.4 kg to 125 kg, and is no longer pre-diabetic.
Before surgery, Shahrul lived with the constant concern of escalating health risks. At 185.4 kg and pre-diabetic, he knew something had to change. Bariatric surgery wasn’t just about weight loss—it was about reclaiming his future.
SADI-S, a powerful combination of sleeve gastrectomy and intestinal bypass, offered Shahrul the best of both worlds: significant weight loss with maintained nutritional absorption. The results speak for themselves.
Since his transformation, Shahrul has returned to the kitchen—a place he loves and shares with his followers through his Instagram page, @abangtukangmasak. His passion for cooking is now matched by the freedom of movement, improved health, and renewed confidence that surgery has given him.
He regularly documents his meals, healthy lifestyle, and journey on social media, becoming a quiet but powerful inspiration to others facing similar struggles.
This dual approach offers the best of both worlds — restrictive and malabsorptive effects — leading to greater weight loss and better control of obesity-related conditions like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. Studies have shown this procedure to be more effective than traditional sleeve or bypass surgeries for many patients, especially those with higher BMIs or metabolic disorders.
At Dr. Kumar Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery, we believe every transformation is personal. Shahrul’s journey is more than just numbers—it’s a testament to the power of taking control before it’s too late. With professional guidance, surgical expertise, and the patient’s commitment, extraordinary outcomes like Shahrul’s are possible.
