Abdulrahman in his own words
Peace be upon you, I’m Abdulrahman Hashhoush from Jordan. My previous weight was 145 kg, and my current weight is 70 kg, within a year and a half. My weight caused me problems: blood pressure, heart problems, joint and spine problems, and problems with the tendon in my foot, and thank God I got rid of these health problems. I thank Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi, and I advise anyone who wants this surgery to have it only with Dr. Al-Zaitawi.

السلام عليكم، أنا عبد الرحمن حشحوش من الأردن. وزني السابق كان 145 كيلو، ووزني الحالي 70 كيلو خلال سنة ونص. كانت عندي مشاكل مع الوزن: ضغط الدم، مشاكل في القلب، مشاكل في المفاصل والعمود الفقري، ومشاكل في الوتر في القدم، والحمد لله تخلصت من هاي المشاكل الصحية. بشكر الدكتور محمد عبد الوهاب الزيتاوي، وبنصح أي حدا بده يعمل العملية ما يعملها غير عند الدكتور الزيتاوي.
Why did he choose sleeve gastrectomy?
His excess weight caused high blood pressure, strain on his heart and constant pain in his joints, spine and foot tendon, limiting his daily movement. After a medical assessment at the center, he was found to be a suitable candidate for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
What changed after surgery?
As his weight came down gradually, his blood pressure improved and the pain in his joints, back and foot eased, and he became more active in daily life. Commitment to nutritional and medical follow-up was key to reaching 70 kg and staying there.
