MAHA’S STORY 

Maha, 59 years old, has been widowed for nine years and faces hard health challenges every day that affect the simplest aspects of her life. She suffers from diabetes and severe obesity, which greatly limit her mobility. Her drooping abdomen even prevents her from walking comfortably and makes it difficult for her to care for herself.

After consulting a specialist at the tertiary hospital, tests revealed that her body mass index (BMI) reached 51.4 kg. Doctors confirmed that Maha needs therapeutic gastric sleeve surgery, not for cosmetic reasons. This medical procedure will safely help her lose weight, improve her mobility, and enable her to walk better and regain independence in her daily life.

Maha is only asking for a chance to regain her independence and dignity. One surgery could restore her ability to live a lighter, healthier life with renewed hope.
