Mohammad in his own words
From Jordan, Mohammad Jamal Al-Nuairat. Age 29, height 169 cm, previous weight 198 kg.
I was hesitant about the sleeve and not convinced by it. I did a harsh diet but it didn’t work, and I love food... Then the complications started: my knees got tired, I developed blood pressure and diabetes and pain in my joints. I found no solution but the sleeve.
People recommended Dr. Mohammad Abdulwahab Al-Zaitawi and dietitian Sally Abdo, and I didn’t hesitate. I went to Dr. Mohammad and had the sleeve. Thank God, with dietitian Sally Abdo’s program I reached 74 kg within a year.
Thank God, a whole life changed for me; my whole life changed. I’m still working on myself with Dr. Sally Abdo to keep my weight. All this is thanks to God and then to Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi and his medical team, Dr. Sally Abdo and Nabila, you never fell short. All thanks and respect to Dr. Sally Abdo and Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi.

When the complications of obesity began
Mohammad weighed 198 kg at 169 cm, very severe obesity with a BMI of about 69, at only 29 years old. He was not convinced about the sleeve and tried harsh dieting with no benefit, until complications started to appear: tired knees, high blood pressure, diabetes and joint pain. He then decided the sleeve was the solution and went to Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi on people’s recommendation.
One year: 124 kg lighter and a different life
After surgery Mohammad followed the program of dietitian Sally Abdo and reached 74 kg within a year, a loss of 124 kg. He says “my whole life changed”, and he is still working with the dietitian to keep his weight, thanking Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi and his medical team.
The journey, step by step
- Before surgery: 198 kg
Very severe obesity at 169 cm, and a harsh diet that failed.
- Complications appear
Tired knees, high blood pressure, diabetes and joint pain.
- The decision and sleeve surgery
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi on people’s recommendation.
- An ongoing nutrition program
Commitment to dietitian Sally Abdo’s program.
- One year later: 74 kg
124 kg lost, a different life, and ongoing follow-up to keep the weight stable.
When obesity causes high blood pressure, diabetes and knee and joint pain at a young age, surgery becomes a health necessity, not a cosmetic choice. Weight loss on this scale is an exceptional result that reflects great commitment. Blood pressure, blood sugar and joint pain often improve with weight loss, but any change to medication must be made only under medical supervision. We recommend continuing with protein, vitamins, exercise, regular blood tests and follow-up to keep the weight stable. 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.
Mohammad Jamal Al-Nuairat, a 29-year-old man from Jordan who is 169 cm tall, had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi’s bariatric and laparoscopic surgery center after developing obesity complications including high blood pressure, diabetes and knee and joint pain. His weight went from 198 kg to 74 kg in one year (a loss of 124 kg) with the program of dietitian Sally Abdo. Results vary between patients.
Frequently asked questions
How much weight did Mohammad Al-Nuairat lose after sleeve gastrectomy?

Is a sleeve suitable for someone weighing close to 200 kg?

Do diabetes and blood pressure improve after a sleeve?
Many patients see a clear improvement in type 2 diabetes and blood pressure as their weight comes down, and some reach remission. However, adjusting or stopping medication must be done only under a doctor’s supervision with regular blood tests.
Does knee and joint pain ease after weight loss?
Every extra kilo multiplies the load on the knees, so many patients feel a clear improvement in knee and joint pain as they lose weight, especially if there is no advanced osteoarthritis.
