Obesity & Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Safe, Effective Weight-Loss Surgery for a Healthier Future

At Dr. Samiha Lutfi Medical Center, we help patients overcome obesity and its related health complications through advanced bariatric (weight-loss) procedures.
Led by Dr. Abdel-Hamid A. Ghazal, Consultant Surgeon and specialist in laparoscopic and metabolic surgery, our team provides personalized obesity treatment plans designed for long-term success — combining surgical precision with continuous medical and nutritional support.

🩺 Understanding Obesity

Obesity is a chronic medical condition that increases the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, joint problems, and sleep apnea.
When traditional weight-loss methods like dieting and exercise fail, bariatric surgery can offer a safe and effective path to sustained weight reduction and improved health.

You may be a candidate for surgery if:

Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is ≥ 35, or ≥ 30 with health issues (e.g., diabetes, hypertension).
You’ve struggled with long-term weight control.
You’re committed to lifestyle changes after surgery.

🩹 Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy)

The Most Popular Bariatric Procedure Worldwide

In this minimally invasive laparoscopic operation, a portion of the stomach is removed to create a narrow “sleeve.”
This limits food intake, reduces hunger hormones, and supports gradual, healthy weight loss.

Benefits:

Significant, sustainable weight loss
Reduction or remission of diabetes and high blood pressure
Improved heart and joint health
Enhanced confidence and quality of life
Normal digestion without foreign devices or rerouting

Performed under general anesthesia using keyhole incisions, patients typically stay one night and return to normal activity within 1–2 weeks.

💬 Our Comprehensive Bariatric Program

Successful weight loss surgery requires more than an operation — it needs ongoing guidance and care.
Our program includes:

Pre-Surgery Assessment – full medical evaluation and nutrition counseling.
Customized Surgical Plan – tailored to your weight, health, and goals.
Post-Surgery Follow-Up – regular visits, lab monitoring, and progress tracking.
Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching – long-term guidance for diet, fitness, and wellness.

🌟 Expected Results

Most patients lose 60–70 % of excess body weight within the first year after gastric sleeve surgery.
Beyond the numbers, many experience restored energy, better mobility, and complete remission of chronic conditions.
