How we chose this list

Every matching clinic profile in this country was scored out of 100 for how complete and checkable its published information is, and the highest scores appear here in order. Featured placement does not change a profile's score, and the score does not measure treatment quality or outcomes — it tells you how much you can check before you call. Profiles marked “Featured” are shown first, in the display order set by the platform administration.

  • Profile verified by the platform15
  • Approved reviews (number and average)20
  • Written clinic description8
  • Logo and photos10
  • Published services10
  • Doctors linked to the clinic10
  • Listed insurers7
  • Confirmed opening hours8
  • Map location5
  • Years since establishment (up to 20)5
  • Official website or account2

Ties are broken by the number of approved reviews, then published years of experience. Confirm the service, branch, appointment, fees and insurance coverage with the practice before visiting.

When do you need bariatric surgery?

Bariatric (weight-loss) surgery changes the stomach, and sometimes the small intestine. This limits how much a person can eat and, with some operations, how food is absorbed. Two common procedures are:

  • Sleeve gastrectomy: removes a large part of the stomach.
  • Gastric bypass: creates a small stomach pouch connected further down the intestine.

Both are major operations that need lifelong changes to eating habits and regular medical follow-up. For most people they are not the first step in managing weight.

Mainstream guidance, such as the NHS's, usually considers surgery for adults with:

  • a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more, or
  • a BMI of 35 to 40 with an obesity-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnoea.

It is generally discussed after other weight-management approaches have been tried properly. Thresholds can differ for some groups, and only a specialist team can judge whether surgery is appropriate for you.

It may be worth booking a surgical or obesity-medicine consultation if:

  • your weight has stayed high despite sustained diet, activity and medical support
  • you have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, joint pain or reflux that your doctor links to your weight
  • you want a clear explanation of the options, their risks and the commitment involved before you decide anything
  • you have had bariatric surgery before and need follow-up, or you have new symptoms

Warning signs that need urgent care

After any bariatric operation, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you have:

  • severe or worsening abdominal pain
  • fever with a fast heartbeat
  • shortness of breath or chest pain
  • vomiting blood, or black or bloody stools
  • inability to keep fluids down
  • painful swelling in one leg
  • signs of dehydration, such as dizziness and passing very little urine

Do not wait for a clinic appointment for any of these.

How to choose among the clinics here

Anyone searching for the best bariatric surgery clinics in Jordan should know that this list measures how complete each profile is, not surgical outcomes. These practical points help you compare:

  • Stated bariatric focus. Dr. Dawoud Dawoud Clinic and Dr. Hisham Issa Shabani Clinic publish sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass among their services. Dr. Hamed Mahmoud Matkari Clinic lists bariatric surgery as a specialty, and Maan Gateway Medical Center lists a laparoscopic and bariatric assessment. The larger outpatient centres list general surgeons, but their published services focus on other fields, so ask which surgeon handles weight-loss consultations.
  • Where the operation happens. Several profiles say consultations take place at the clinic and operations at an associated or appropriate hospital. Ask which hospital that will be, and how you would reach the team if problems arise after you go home.
  • Team support. Good bariatric care usually involves dietetic advice, management of conditions such as diabetes, and planned follow-up. Al Khalidi Medical Plaza publishes obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes follow-up. This can suit people who want a medical review before or alongside a surgical opinion.
  • Follow-up you can actually attend. Follow-up after weight-loss surgery continues for years. Pick a clinic whose hours and location fit your routine, and check Thursday hours, which are shorter at several clinics.
  • Checkable information. Only Dr. Dawoud Dawoud Clinic is verified by the platform and has an approved review. Use reviews and verification as one input, alongside your own questions.

What to expect at the first visit

A first bariatric consultation is mostly an assessment and a conversation, not a decision to operate. The surgeon will usually:

  • ask about your weight history and previous attempts to lose weight
  • review your medical conditions and current medicines
  • discuss your eating patterns and any symptoms such as reflux
  • measure your weight and height, and may request blood tests, imaging or a stomach examination
  • explain the options, their risks and the long-term commitment involved

What to bring:

  • your national ID or passport
  • your insurance card, if you have one
  • a list of medicines and supplements
  • recent blood test results and reports from other doctors, especially for diabetes, heart, kidney or thyroid conditions
  • details of any previous abdominal operations

Questions worth asking:

  • Which procedure might be considered for someone in my situation, and why?
  • What are the main short- and long-term risks?
  • What preparation is needed before surgery, such as diet changes or tests?
  • Who provides nutrition advice and follow-up, and how often?
  • Which vitamins and blood tests will I need long term? Your team will set these; do not start supplements on your own.
  • What should I do, and whom should I contact, if I feel unwell after the operation?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Three profiles here list Arab Orient Insurance: Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics, Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre Outpatient Clinics, and Maan Gateway Medical Center. A listed insurer for consultations does not automatically mean a policy covers weight-loss surgery. Before you book, ask:

  • the consultation fee, and whether follow-up visits are charged separately
  • whether your insurer covers the consultation at this clinic and whether you need pre-approval
  • whether bariatric surgery is covered under your policy at all, and what documents the insurer requires
  • which hospital would be used for surgery, and whether that hospital is in your insurer's network
  • what the overall cost includes (tests, hospital stay, follow-up), so you can compare clinics on the same basis

When booking at a large outpatient centre, give the doctor's name and confirm the clinic day, building and floor. Listed opening hours may not reflect every doctor's schedule.

Getting there

This is a Kingdom-wide list, and each card shows its own city and district:

  • Amman: most clinics are in Jabal Amman, Arjan, Shmeisani and Khalda.
  • Northern Jordan: one centre is in Ramtha, Irbid.
  • Southern Jordan: one centre is in Downtown Ma'an.

Use the map location on each profile and plan around traffic at peak times. If you are travelling from another governorate, ask whether tests and the consultation can be done on the same day. Plan how you would attend follow-up visits, which are frequent in the months after surgery.

Checklist before you book

  • Confirm the clinic offers bariatric assessment and which surgeon you will see
  • Ask which procedures the surgeon discusses and which hospital is used for operations
  • Check that nutrition and long-term follow-up arrangements are explained
  • Confirm the consultation fee and what it includes
  • Check insurance coverage for both the consultation and the surgery, and any pre-approval steps
  • Gather your medical reports, test results and medicine list
  • Confirm the day, time, building and floor, especially on Thursdays
  • Write down your questions beforehand
  • Know the warning signs that need emergency care and the number 911

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of bariatric surgery clinics in Jordan chosen?
Profiles are ordered by a 100-point score for how complete and checkable their published information is. The score covers platform verification, approved reviews, description, photos, services, linked doctors, insurers, opening hours, map location, years established and an official account. Featured profiles appear first with a badge. Anyone looking for the best bariatric surgery clinics in Jordan should note that this order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes.
Who is usually considered for bariatric surgery?
Mainstream guidance such as the NHS's usually considers adults with a BMI of 40 or more, or 35 to 40 with an obesity-related condition such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. This applies after other weight-management approaches have been tried. Criteria can vary for some groups. Only a specialist assessment can decide whether surgery is appropriate for you.
What is the difference between a gastric sleeve and a gastric bypass?
A sleeve gastrectomy removes a large part of the stomach, leaving a narrow tube-shaped stomach. A gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and connects it further down the small intestine, so food bypasses part of the digestive tract. Each has different risks and long-term needs, including nutrition follow-up. Your surgeon can explain which, if any, might be considered in your case.
Which clinics on this page publish sleeve or bypass services?
Dr. Dawoud Dawoud Clinic lists gastric sleeve surgery, and its description mentions assessing sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass and other options. Dr. Hisham Issa Shabani Clinic lists sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. Dr. Hamed Mahmoud Matkari Clinic advertises bariatric care. Maan Gateway Medical Center lists a laparoscopic and bariatric assessment. Confirm details directly with each clinic.
Does insurance in Jordan cover weight-loss surgery?
Coverage depends entirely on your policy. Three profiles here list Arab Orient Insurance for their services. However, a clinic accepting an insurer for consultations does not guarantee that bariatric surgery is covered. Ask your insurer about surgery coverage, pre-approval requirements and network hospitals, and ask the clinic what documents it can provide.
Are there bariatric options outside Amman?
Yes. Maan Gateway Medical Center in Downtown Ma'an lists a laparoscopic and bariatric assessment with a general surgeon. In the north, King Abdullah University Hospital Specialty Outpatients in Ramtha, Irbid, has a general surgeon among its linked doctors. Ask its appointment office about weight-loss surgery consultations before you travel.
What follow-up is needed after bariatric surgery?
Follow-up is usually lifelong. It typically includes regular clinic reviews, dietary guidance as you move from liquids to solid food, blood tests to check vitamin and mineral levels, and supplements prescribed by your team. Severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, chest pain, breathlessness or being unable to keep fluids down need urgent care. Call 911.
Why do some profiles appear first?
Profiles marked “Featured” appear first, in the display order set by the platform administration. They are a featured placement, not a measure of clinical quality; the rest of the list follows the published profile score. A featured profile shown on a district page may practise elsewhere in Amman — check the address on its card.
