Celestine Donkor comments about reports of getting weight loss surgery
Celestine Donkor, a gospel performer, has spoken out about claims that she is considering weight loss surgery.
Celestine stressed that she has not made a decision, thus “I wouldn’t say no and I wouldn’t say yes.”
Recognising the cultural pressure to maintain a specific image, particularly as an artist, the singer stated that she has weighed the health risks of body-altering operations.
According to her study, physicians typically prescribe such procedures based on health evaluations, especially if one’s life is in danger owing to weight-related difficulties.
However, in her instance, Celestine stated that she is quite fit and has never suffered high blood pressure or other abnormalities linked with being plus size, so surgery is not a possibility for her at this time unless advised.
“I am plus-sized yet highly active. In a marathon, I might even outperform a lot of slender folks. The obesity is in my genes; my family is large. I’ve never had high blood pressure or anything. I get frequent check-ups, drink enough water, and get adequate rest, so I’m in good health.”
Doreen Avio said in an interview with Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz that her phobia of knives is another barrier keeping her from undergoing surgery.
Celestine said that she had enough incisions on her body from her three caesarean sections during delivery.
In light of this, she prefers dieting and other less dangerous options such as exercise and intermittent fasting.
Celestine chose to invest in her soul above her body, despite receiving nearly GH¢50,000 for surgery.
“I am confident that if I have GH¢40,000 or GH¢50,000 to work on this body, I will invest in my soul.” This body will expire, no matter how thin and well-carved it is.
The useless thing after death is the human body; even animal bodies have value since we utilise them as sustenance, but for people, the corpse is no longer worthy of being discarded.”
Celestine Donkor warned her admirers to embrace her for who she is, as she will not endanger her life to adhere to conventional notions of what a perfect woman should look like.

More celebs come up about their fight with G6PD insufficiency following KODA’s death
Following the death of gospel artist KODA, more celebrities have stepped out to discuss their experiences with G6PD Deficiency, shining awareness on the obstacles that people with this illness endure.
Cynthia Tima Yeboah, often known as Tima Kumkum, a presenter and businesswoman, and Karen Kash Kane have spoken openly about their personal experiences with the illness.
Prior to his death, KODA revealed that he had been given improper medicine for eight months since physicians failed to diagnose his G6PD Deficiency, resulting in a worsening in his health.
G6PD deficiency is a disorder in which the body lacks or does not produce enough G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase), an enzyme required for red blood cell activity.
Karen recounted her personal experience, revealing that she found her G6PD Deficiency after a thorough lab test when pregnant with her son six years ago.
Tests subsequently revealed that she had passed on the illness to her kid.
Karen emphasised the measures she takes to manage the disease, which include avoiding malaria medicines and sulfur-containing goods like naphthalene balls.
Tima Kumkum also discussed her own experiences with G6PD Deficiency.
She emphasised the gravity of her experience, claiming that it nearly killed her, which inspired her to form her charity to raise awareness about the ailment.
The duo plan to increase their campaigning for the disease in order to save more lives.
