Weam in her own words
Previous weight: 94 kg Current weight: 60 kg Ideal weight: 57 kg 💪
I am Weam Ananzeh from Jordan. Exactly a year before the surgery I was a body without a soul, just fat living without a soul. My mood was low and I had no desire for anything: not holidays, not occasions, not going out, nothing. I ate any food in front of me without thinking, and it backfired: whenever I felt down, I ate more and more.
Until the day came when I started seeing people and relatives of mine changing for the better, and honestly I felt jealous: how did they lose so much weight and change their lives?
After thinking about the surgery for two whole years, with everyone telling me “be careful, it’s scary, it’s dangerous” and so on, I decided to do it, and God made it easy for me and sent me a good-hearted doctor. Whatever I say will not do him justice. May God open doors for you, Dr. Mohammad, wherever you are, and provide for you from where you never expect. Dr. Sally and the whole medical team were more than wonderful.
It has been almost a year since the surgery and, thank God, I feel I was born again this year. My holiday feels like two holidays, and my joy when my size dropped from L/XL is indescribable...
I encourage anyone who is hesitant and afraid: don’t listen to what people say, put your trust in God and choose the right doctor, and God willing it will go smoothly ❤️
Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi is the most wonderful person. #ThankYou ❤️

وزني السابق: 94 الوزن الحالي: 60 الوزن المثالي: 57 💪
أنا وئام عنانزة من الأردن. قبل سنة من العملية بالزبط كنت عبارة عن جسد بلا روح، دهون بلا روح عايشة هيك، ونفسيتي تعبانة، وما إلي نفس بشي؛ لا بعيد ولا بمناسبة ولا بطلعة ولا بشي. وأي أكلة قدامي آكلها وأنا بشانه، وصار عندي رد فعل عكسي: كل ما تتعب نفسيتي باكل أكتر وأكتر.
لحد ما إجا اليوم وصرت أشوف فيه ناس وقرايب إلي عم بتغيروا للأحسن، وفعلاً صار شعور بالغيرة: كيف هيك نحفوا وتغيرت حياتهم؟
بعد تفكير بالعملية سنتين كاملتين، والكل بيحكيلي: "ديري بالك، وبتخوّف، وخطرة"، وبعرف من هالحكي، قررت إني أعملها والله يسّرها معي، وبعثلي دكتور ابن حلال، وشو ما أحكي ما رح أوفي حقه. الله يفتحها عليك يا دكتور محمد وين ما كنت ويرزقك من حيث لا تحتسب. والدكتورة سالي والكادر الطبي كلهم كانوا أروع من هيك.
صارلي سنة إلا شوي عاملة العملية، والحمد لله حاسة حالي انولدت بهاي السنة، وعيدي عيدين، وفرحتي لما نزل مقاسي من L/XL فرحة لا توصف...
بشجع أي حد متردد وخايف: ما يرد على كلام الناس، ويتوكل على الله ويختار دكتوره الصح، وإن شاء الله بتتيسر معه ❤️
الدكتور محمد عبد الوهاب الزيتاوي أروع إنسان، #شكراً_إلك ❤️
From emotional eating to a decision after two years of hesitation
Weam was going through a difficult time emotionally, with no desire for occasions or going out, and the worse she felt, the more she ate. When she saw relatives and acquaintances whose lives changed for the better after surgery, she began thinking seriously about it, but stayed hesitant for two whole years because the people around her kept frightening her. In the end she decided to trust God and choose the right surgeon.
Less than a year: 34 kg lighter and a new beginning
Weam had her surgery with Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi, with follow-up from dietitian Sally and the medical team. In less than a year she went from 94 kg to 60 kg, dropped from size L/XL, and is just 3 kg from her ideal weight of 57 kg. She describes this year as being “born again” and advises anyone hesitating not to listen to what people say.

Emotional eating linked to stress is very common in people with obesity. A sleeve helps by reducing hunger and portions, but emotional support and changing habits are an essential part of success. It is natural for those around you to be worried, but the decision is best based on medical advice and accurate information. Losing 34 kg and getting close to ideal weight in under a year is an excellent result, and we recommend continuing protein, exercise, vitamins and follow-up. 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.
