Mohamed Abdelsalam

With procedures timed down to the hour—gastric sleeve surgery estimated at about 60 minutes and gastric bypass at about 90 minutes—Mohamed Abdelsalam builds bariatric plans around clear, step-by-step preparation. As a specialist at the clinic in Giza, he combines Bariatric Surgery and General Surgery within a structured pathway that starts with a comprehensive assessment on the first visit. The clinic describes his work as centered on minimally invasive laparoscopic approaches designed to reduce pain and support faster recovery. For international patients, the practical detail matters: the clinic also states that bariatric surgery has no specific age limit, provided the patient meets medical and consent requirements.
