Wael in his own words
Wael Al-Maaytah from Jordan. Age 23, height 174 cm, previous weight 130 kg, current weight 68 kg. I had a sleeve 10 months ago.
First, I dieted and it didn’t work for me 😔 Then I started searching 🌍 for a skilled, trustworthy doctor, and by God’s grace I found Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi and had the sleeve. A week later I started to feel the difference in my weight, until I had lost 63 kg, thanks to God, Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi and his amazing team. Dietitian Sally Abdo did everything for me during the nutrition programs and follow-up on my weight loss.
Thank God I am better now than before the sleeve, I move more easily, and most importantly my size went from XXXL to M.
A really wonderful experience. I advise anyone who wants to escape the prison of fat to have a sleeve.

After diets failed: searching for a trustworthy surgeon
Wael weighed 130 kg at 174 cm at the age of 23. Dieting did not work for him, so he started searching for a skilled and trustworthy surgeon until he found Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi and had sleeve gastrectomy. Just one week later he began to notice the difference in his weight.
10 months: from XXXL to M
With follow-up from dietitian Sally Abdo and regular nutrition programs, Wael kept losing weight until he reached 68 kg after 10 months, about 62 kg lighter. He moves more easily, his size dropped from XXXL to M, and he recommends the sleeve to anyone who wants to “escape the prison of fat”.
The journey, step by step
- Before surgery: 130 kg
130 kg at 174 cm, and a diet that didn’t work.
- Searching for a trustworthy surgeon
Looking for a skilled, reliable surgeon until finding Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with the care of the medical team.
- One week later: the difference begins
Early weight loss, with nutrition programs and follow-up from dietitian Sally Abdo.
- After 10 months: 68 kg
About 62 kg lost, and size down from XXXL to M.
Most patients notice clear weight loss in the first weeks after a sleeve, and it then continues gradually with commitment to the diet. Losing about 62 kg in 10 months at the age of 23 is an excellent result. We advise Wael to keep up protein, resistance training, vitamins and regular follow-up to protect muscle and maintain his weight. Results vary from patient to patient.
This story reflects one patient's experience. Your result depends on your starting weight, health, the chosen procedure and your commitment after surgery. Only a personal medical evaluation can tell you what to expect.
