Kenyan actress and content creator Sandra Dacha is celebrating 40 days since undergoing Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, popularly known as gastric sleeve surgery, as she continues documenting her weight-loss and health transformation.
Dacha, who is popularly recognised for portraying Silprosa in the local comedy series Auntie Boss, has shared her progress with fans, revealing visible changes in her body since undergoing the procedure.
The actress underwent the operation on September 30, 2026, but only publicly disclosed details of the surgery on November 9, following weeks of curiosity from fans after she shared an emotional video showing her being wheeled into an operating theatre.
In explaining the procedure, Dacha revealed that doctors removed approximately 75 to 80 per cent of her stomach, leaving a smaller, banana-shaped stomach designed to limit food intake, help patients feel full faster and reduce hunger.
The latest milestone comes after an already remarkable weight-loss journey. In November 2025, Dacha revealed that she had reduced her weight from 152 kilogrammes to 100 kilogrammes, shedding 52 kilogrammes in one year.
She had previously disclosed using Ozempic injections alongside lifestyle changes as part of her weight-management efforts.
Beyond the physical changes, the actress says the transformation is about more than shedding weight. She is also focused on improving her health, rebuilding her confidence and embracing a happier version of herself.
Expressing satisfaction with her progress, Dacha indicated that she is excited about the changes so far, describing what fans are currently seeing as just a “trailer” of the transformation ahead.
Her latest update comes amid increased public interest in her changing appearance, with the actress recently responding to critics who questioned her looks following her significant weight loss.
In a humorous response, she told critics: “Mimi nilipunguza KILO, si umri” (I lost kilos, not my age).
As she marks the 40-day milestone, Dacha appears determined to continue sharing her journey, with fans keen to see what the next chapter of her transformation will bring.
