Celestine Donkor speaks on report of undergoing weight loss surgery.
Gospel musician, Celestine Donkor has spoken out regarding reports suggesting she is considering undergoing weight loss surgery.
Contrary to the speculation, Celestine clarified that she has not decided, so “I wouldn’t say no and I wouldn’t say yes.”
Acknowledging the societal pressure to maintain a certain appearance, especially as an artiste, the singer said she has considered the health implications of body altering surgeries.
Per her research, she said such surgeries are usually recommended by doctors based on health assessments, particularly if one’s life is at risk due to weight-related issues.
But, in her case, Celestine said she is very fit and has never experienced high blood pressure or other defects associated with being plus size, so surgery is not an option for her now, until it is recommended.
“I am plus size but very active. I might even overtake a lot of slim people in a marathon. The fat is in my genes, my family, we are big. I have never had high blood pressure or anything. I do regular check-ups and drink a lot of water, and I have enough rest, so health wise, I am fine”.
