Popular social media influencer David Obadiah, popularly known as Baddy of Lagos, has provided fans with a detailed update following his recent corrective leg surgery in Egypt, igniting a wave of support, relief, and encouragement across various online platforms.
Baddy of Lagos’ surgery was made possible through a massive crowdfunding campaign that raised millions of naira, coordinated primarily by fellow influencer Wizarab. The generous contributions allowed Baddy to access advanced medical care abroad, a development that many fans had anxiously awaited. Prior to the operation, there had been significant concern regarding the state of his legs, which had been a source of chronic pain and limited mobility for the influencer.
In his initial post-surgery update, Baddy revealed that the surgical team was able to successfully correct his right leg, while the procedure on the left leg was temporarily halted. This decision, the doctors explained, was made out of caution to ensure that his body could withstand the pain and physical stress of the operation. He confirmed that the second leg surgery would be scheduled once the right leg had adequately healed and stabilized, indicating a careful and stepwise approach to his full recovery.
Update on Baddy’s right leg post-surgery
Recently, Baddy shared a fresh update showcasing his right leg fully unbandaged, revealing the impressive transformation compared to its pre-surgery state. In a heartfelt caption, he explained that he had just regained consciousness after being sedated for pain management during a dressing change, noting some minor bleeding—a normal part of the post-operative healing process. His message reassured fans that he was feeling “a little better now ❤️.”
He further elaborated on the condition of his right leg: “My right leg as you can see is still swollen because of the stitches and after 3 weeks it’ll subside, but everything is perfect thanks to God ❤️.” The transparency and honesty in his update resonated with followers, many of whom praised his resilience and expressed eagerness to see him complete his recovery journey.
