Amal in her own words
Peace be upon you, I’m Amal from Palestine. Mashallah, 42 kg lost one year after my #sleeve.
A year ago I weighed 112 kg. I dieted a lot but nothing worked by any means, until I turned to sleeve surgery with Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi.
With Dr. Sally’s nutrition follow-up, sticking to my medication, and the gym, which I haven’t left for a year until now, I stayed committed and reached 70, thanks to God and then to them 💪🏻♥️.. and I’m still going.

After every kind of diet: the decision to have a sleeve
Amal weighed 112 kg and had tried dieting many times, by every means, without success. She turned to sleeve gastrectomy with Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi and then began a journey of real commitment.
A year of gym and commitment: 42 kg lighter
The secret of Amal’s result is commitment to three things: follow-up with dietitian Sally, regular prescribed medication and vitamins, and the gym, which she has not left for a year. One year after surgery she reached 70 kg, a loss of 42 kg, and she is still going.
The journey, step by step
- Before surgery: 112 kg
Repeated diets of every kind without results.
- Sleeve surgery
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi.
- Nutrition follow-up and medication
Follow-up with dietitian Sally and commitment to medication and vitamins.
- The gym, without a break
Regular gym sessions since surgery, for a whole year.
- One year later: 70 kg
42 kg lost, and still going.
Regular exercise, especially resistance training, is one of the most important factors in sleeve success: it speeds up fat loss, preserves muscle, improves body shape and reduces loose skin. Amal’s commitment to the gym, vitamins and nutrition follow-up for a whole year is an excellent example of what we recommend to all our patients. 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.
