Approximately one-third of American adults are considered obese. While bariatric surgery can be a lifeline for individuals who have been unable to lose their excess, unwarranted weight through conservative means, it may not be appropriate for all patients. At the Dr. Omar Alzain Bariatric Surgery Clinic, our team is at the forefront of minimally invasive surgery and advanced robotic technology. We are able to perform procedures through tiny incisions rather than one large opening, which means less scarring, less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery time.
Performed by our board-certified bariatric surgeon, Dr. Omar Alzain, we offer the following operations: colon tumor removal, gastric bypass surgery, gastrointestinal tract, laparoscopic hernias, hysterectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hemorrhoids, anal fistula and anal sphincter. Our clinic is certified by Jordanian insurance companies.
When Is Bariatric Surgery Necessary?
Because weight loss surgery is not intended to be an initial treatment for obesity, surgeons and insurance companies follow the guidelines set forth by the National Institutes of Health in determining if gastric sleeve or other bariatric surgery is medically necessary. Bariatric surgery may be an option for individuals who:
Teenage patients who have gone through puberty and reached adult height may meet medical necessity guidelines if they meet the following criteria:
- a body mass index of at least 35 along with a serious obesity-related health condition, such as diabetes, or

Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Jordan
What is the advantage of Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Amman, Jordan?
Shorter hospital stay, faster recovery — Sleeve gastrectomy procedures are performed using a laparoscopic technique. Because of this, gastric sleeve recovery ensures a shorter hospital stay, smaller scars, and less pain than open surgical procedures.
Cost savings over time — Achieving your weight loss goals can have significant, positive effects on your overall health. Weight loss surgery, like the gastric sleeve surgery in Amman, may help to improve or resolve conditions associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol, so patients save money on related prescription drugs, doctor visits, and hospital visits.
A reduction in cravings for sweets — In a clinical study, 50 percent of patients who had a sleeve gastrectomy procedure lost their cravings for sweets after 1 year, and after 3 years 23 percent still experienced a loss of cravings for sweets. In addition, the level of a hormone called ghrelin, which has been described as a hunger-regulating hormone, was found to be significantly reduced after sleeve gastrectomy surgery.
The majority of our patients who undergo weight-loss surgery lose between 50 and 70 percent of their excess weight and many are able to obtain their ideal body weight, often for the first time in their lives.

What to See
Consistently overlooked and underrated by travellers to the Middle East, the Jordanian capital Amman stands in marked contrast to its raucous neighbours, with none of the grand history of Damascus, not a whiff of Jerusalem’s tension and just a tiny fraction of Cairo’s monuments. It’s a civilized, genial city with unexpected charm, bathed in a new spirit of dynamism: investment is pouring in, new buildings are going up, neighbourhoods are being rejuvenated and the city is humming with cafés, galleries and commerce.
What to Savor
If you love Arabic food, warm friendly hospitality, and a mix of both modern and ancient history, you’re going to love Jordan! Whether you're sipping sweet tea in Petra or searching for Amman's tastiest falafel, cuisine is an essential part of exploring Jordan. What is falafel? Crisp balls of falafel shaped from spiced, ground chickpeas are a street food staple across the Levant.
Where to Stay
Amman is a large modern Middle Eastern city, and there are plenty of places to consider staying when you visit.
