I was hesitant about sleeve surgery, but it started affecting my health and lifestyle a lot, so I decided to have the sleeve, and thank God I never regretted it after the surgery.
I thank Dr. Mohammad Abdulwahab Al-Zaitawi, and I thank Ms. Sally Abdo for following up with me after the surgery until today; she gave me a meal and exercise plan. Now I weigh 80 kg, about 10 months after the surgery. I keep track of myself, and thank God everything is going really well.
I advise anyone suffering from severe obesity not to hesitate to have the surgery, especially with Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi. Thank you ❤️

وأشكر الدكتور محمد عبد الوهاب الزيتاوي، وأشكر الآنسة سالي عبده على متابعتها لي بعد العملية وإلى اليوم الحالي، وكانت تعطيني جدول الأكل والرياضة. والآن أصبح وزني 80 كيلو بعد تقريباً 10 أشهر من العملية، وأنا متابع نفسي، والحمد لله أموري كثير تمام.
وأنصح أي شخص يعاني من سمنة مفرطة ما يتردد من إجراء العملية، خاصة عند الدكتور محمد عبد الوهاب الزيتاوي، وشكراً ❤️

The journey, step by step
- Before surgery: 156 kg
Severe obesity at 177 cm, at age 20.
- Impact on health and lifestyle
Initial hesitation, then a decision once obesity began affecting his health.

Having a sleeve at a young age, after a full medical and psychological assessment, prevents many complications of obesity before they begin, and young patients often lose weight faster with less loose skin. Losing 76 kg in about 10 months is an excellent result, and we recommend continuing with protein, exercise, vitamins and follow-up to keep the weight stable long term. 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.
