Professor Dr Khaled Gawdat Morbid Obesity Surgery
In March of 2005 Deigo Maradona
joined the long list of over weight celebrities who
underwent a stomach bypass procedure to solve their weight
problem forever. Intense media reaction followed the news of
performing a laparoscopic gastric bypass operation to
football legend Diego Maradona. The famous soccer
superstar progressively gained weight following retirement.
His obesity came at a heavy cost of causing serious heart
problems and the superstar had several attacks of serious
heart attacks threatening his life. Maradona was advised to
have weight reducing gastric surgery as a life saving
measure to rid him of his excess weight together with cure
of all diseases caused by his overweight. Laparoscopic
(key-hole surgery) stomach bypass was chosen for him as the
most effective surgical remedy to treat obesity in the world
today. The surgery reduces the stomach's capacity for
holding food and bypasses part of the small intestine,
forcing the patient to eat less. Maradona lost 110
pounds of his weight and now has a TV show and a football
training contract. Over the years the procedure has proven
to be the most effective procedure for permanent weight
reduction in cases with excessive or morbid obesity. In the
year 2004 more than 140,000 such cases were performed in the
US alone.
Carnie Wilson singer and
daughter of the beach boys singer Brian Wilson decided to

Following her gastric bypass she lost 150 pound of weight
and she even posed for playboy magazine following her weight
loss in a strange sign of return of self esteem.

his life upside down. He is now enjoying a healthy life at

of cases were compared having different stomach procedures.
Stomach bypass clearly stands out as a good operation with
comfortable eating habits and a good weight control together
with cure of all the obesity induced diseases. The operation
needs vitamin supplementation to prevent anemia
postoperatively. Our results confirmed the internationally
published results of the superiority of this approach and
concluded that the term gold standard of obesity surgery
procedures is a name well deserved.
