Top Gastric Sleeve Surgery Doctors in Jordan
عملية تكميم المعدة
Gastric sleeve is the most common bariatric surgery: about 75–80% of the stomach is removed laparoscopically, leaving a small tube that triggers early fullness and reduces the hunger hormone ghrelin. Patients typically lose 60–70% of excess weight within 12–18 months, with marked improvement in diabetes, blood pressure, and sleep apnea. It is indicated for BMI over 40, or over 35 with comorbidities, after a comprehensive evaluation. In Jordan, the indicative cost typically ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 JOD including hospital stay, anesthesia, and early follow-up, depending on the hospital and surgeon’s experience; some insurers cover part under medical criteria, and installment programs exist. Figures are indicative and vary between centers — ask about the surgeon’s case volume, complication rates, and the accompanying nutrition program.
