Ahmed in his own words
Peace be upon you, this is Ahmed Al-Dhafiri from Kuwait. Previous weight 140 kg, current weight 83 kg, height 177 cm.
Thank God, my weight loss was natural and comfortable. I had problems with movement and blood pressure, and thank God I got rid of them. I used to struggle with clothes; I was a triple XL (3XL) and now I’m an L. Thank God, my clothing size is a big difference now 💪👍🏻
A thousand thanks to dear Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi and the medical and administrative team for the continuous follow-up.

Limited mobility, blood pressure and a 3XL size
Ahmed weighed 140 kg at 177 cm, a body mass index of about 45 (severe obesity). He had difficulty moving and high blood pressure, and struggled to find clothes in size 3XL. After a full medical assessment he had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi.
One year: 57 kg lighter and a size L
Within a year Ahmed reached 83 kg, 57 kg lighter, and describes the weight loss as “natural and comfortable”. His mobility problems are gone, his blood pressure has improved, and his clothing size went from 3XL to L, with continuous follow-up from the medical and administrative team.
The journey, step by step
- Before surgery: 140 kg
Severe obesity at 177 cm with limited mobility and high blood pressure.
- Medical assessment
Pre-operative tests and the choice of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
- Sleeve surgery
Sleeve gastrectomy with Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi and continuous follow-up from the team.
- Natural, comfortable weight loss
Mobility and blood pressure improved gradually as weight came down.
- One year later: 83 kg
57 kg lost and a size change from 3XL to L.
The gradual, comfortable weight loss Ahmed describes is exactly what we aim for after a sleeve: losing 57 kg in a year while preserving energy and muscle mass with enough protein and follow-up. Improved blood pressure is common with weight loss, but blood pressure medication should only be adjusted gradually under a doctor’s supervision. 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.
