Al Taie Center: Dubai & Abu Dhabi’s Premier Weight Loss Surgery Destination

Welcome to the definitive resource on weight loss surgery in the UAE. Al Taie Center, serving Dubai and Abu Dhabi, is renowned for its comprehensive, patient-centered bariatric care and state-of-the-art facilities. Led by Dr. Abdulsalam Al Taie, a highly respected bariatric surgeon in the UAE, the center combines advanced surgical techniques with a multidisciplinary approach to help patients achieve durable weight loss and improved health. This guide highlights the major weight loss procedures offered at Al Taie Center and explains why the center is a leading choice for residents of Dubai and Abu Dhabi seeking safe, effective, and personalized weight loss solutions.

Service 1: Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy) What it is

  • A restrictive bariatric procedure that reduces the stomach size by about 60-70%, limiting food intake and influencing hunger hormones. Performed laparoscopically in most cases, it’s a leading choice for many patients seeking substantial weight loss with a relatively straightforward recovery.

Procedure details

  • Laparoscopic approach with stapled sleeve formation after removing a large portion of the stomach.

  • Duration typically several hours, with anesthesia and postoperative monitoring.

Benefits

  • Substantial, sustained weight loss for most patients (often 50-70% of excess weight over 12-18 months in many cases).
  • Improvements or resolution of obesity-related conditions (e.g., type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea).
  • Fewer complications than more extensive malabsorptive procedures for many patients.
  • Reversibility concerns: not reversible in the same way as banding; the anatomy is permanently altered.

Candidate criteria

  • BMI generally in the 30-40+ range with obesity-related comorbidities, or BMI 40+ without significant comorbidities, depending on risk assessment.
  • Willingness to adopt long-term lifestyle changes (diet, physical activity, follow-up).
  • No contraindicating medical conditions; healthy psychological evaluation as part of a multidisciplinary assessment.

Recovery process

  • Hospital stay often 1-2 days; gradual return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks.
  • Gradual dietary progression from liquids to soft foods, then to regular foods under supervision.
  • Regular follow-up with the Bariatric Team to monitor weight loss, nutrition, and vitamins.

Why choose Al Taie Center for Gastric Sleeve

  • Access to a multidisciplinary team including nutritionists, psychologists, and dedicated post-op care—ensuring comprehensive care.

Why Do People Get Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Revitalize your appearance and fight obesity with gastric sleeve surgery. Find out whether you are eligible for weight-loss surgery in this comprehensive post.

Combating obesity might sound challenging, especially when you experience problems losing weight. When lifestyle modifications, exercise regimens, and weight loss supplements do not work, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery becomes your beacon of hope.

Interested to learn why more individuals are undergoing this surgery in recent days? Let’s assess the reasons in the below-offered pointers.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery – A Beacon of Hope for Obese People

Gastric sleeve surgery can treat severe obesity in individuals who have tried and failed with other weight loss methods. The doctor may advise the surgery if you are obese with a BMI of over 40.

Some people also call it VSG or vertical gastric sleeve operation. It is a restrictive weight loss surgery where the surgeon eliminates 80% of the stomach. A narrow tube remains inside, connected to the intestines.

The surgeon removes a huge portion of the stomach that drives hunger, which results in a loss of appetite.

Here’s presenting the reasons why people consider this surgery better than any other bariatric procedure:

  1. The Safest Bariatric Surgery As of Now

This surgery is safer and less invasive than other bariatric surgical procedures like gastric banding and gastric balloon. The process is speedier as patients don’t need to undergo a long surgical process. It does not involve complex intestinal rerouting or bypass. So, patients may expect fewer risks and speedier healing.

  1. A Minimally Invasive Method That Offers Long-Lasting Results

Sleeve gastrectomy is a minimally invasive method, which is performed by inserting a thin tube with a camera via tiny incisions. So it does not need any large incision. Unlike gastric bypass, it does not require rerouting of the intestinal tract.

The process is much speedier and less painful with mitigated risks of complications. It is most appropriate for patients with high-risk medical complications. Although the long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery depend on lifestyle choices, gastric sleeve offers long-lasting results. So, consult the best weight loss doctor to discover the ins and outs of this surgical treatment.

  1. Promotes Weight Loss with Speediness

The process involves reducing the stomach’s size in order to limit food intake. That means even with an adequate amount of food, you can feel fuller. From reducing hunger hormones inside the stomach to preventing impulses causing you to regain weight, it does everything in between.

  1. Improves and Eliminates Certain Ailments

The prime purpose of this surgery is to reduce food consumption by reducing the size of the stomach by 80%. However, that’s not the ultimate goal of this surgery. Did you know it can also improve other health conditions besides combating obesity? Let’s learn them one by one from the following points:

  • Type 2 Diabetes

This surgery can treat type-2 diabetes in two ways. While it helps patients achieve a healthier BMI by limiting food intake, it decreases the calories the body absorbs. This can decrease a patient’s insulin resistance, thereby controlling blood sugar more. In addition, it can also maintain the levels of blood pressure.

  • Hyperlipidaemia or High Cholesterol

Postoperative Care After Bariatric Surgery – What to Know?

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is gaining steady popularity nowadays. Obesity is a chronic illness in children and adults. It has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. To counter obesity, most doctors are recommending people with obesity undergo bariatric surgery.

If diet and other forms of treatment haven’t yielded any positive outcomes, you may consider bariatric surgery. This operation leads to sustainable and long-term weight loss. However, one of the key highlights of this surgery is its ability to lower obesity-related comorbidities.

While the surgical procedure is essential in helping you achieve improved health, its success depends on postoperative care. Besides changing your diet, postoperative care includes several intricacies you must know.

Aftercare Treatment Following a Bariatric Surgery – Aspects to Know

These exercises can be effective in helping you overcome the complexities associated with bariatric surgery.

Following a Strict Diet is Compulsory After Bariatric Surgery

The diet suggestions after a bariatric surgery vary from one patient to another. Your surgeon will monitor your condition and vital health signs. They will suggest a nutritious and balanced diet based on these factors.  

Bariatric surgery transforms how your digestive system works. Moreover, this surgical procedure affects nutrient absorption in your endocrine system. Patients must undergo a gradual transition from liquids to solid food items over a specific duration of time. Here are the general dietary guidelines to follow after a weight loss operation.

  • In the initial stages, you have to stick to a liquid diet like broth, diluted juices, water, etc.
  • Your diet will progress to pureed food items in a matter of a few weeks after the surgery. During this duration, you may also consume high-protein foods.
  • After thorough check-ups and consultations, the surgeon will finally allow you to have standard and solid food items.

A bariatric surgery diet can help you recuperate from the operation effectively. To get the best results and boost your recovery, you must always communicate with your doctor.

The success of bariatric surgery relies greatly on dedicated postoperative care. Following the guidelines, the weight loss center will allow you to recover appropriately and experience sustained weight loss.

Gastric bypass diet: What to eat after the surgery?

Your bariatric surgeon will help you with a new way of eating just after the surgery for a smooth recovery. It can help you lose weight safely and gradually. After the gastric bypass surgery, your body learns to handle the body differently. So set a strict diet of liquids and gradual solids. It helps with a smooth healing process.

Why Follow a Gastric Bypass Diet?

The main reason why a gastric bypass doctor suggests a diet after gastric bypass surgery is:

  • Allowing the stomach to heal and avoiding spicy food, which takes a long to digest
  • Diet can help you lose weight and not gain weight after the surgery
  • Make a habit of eating in small portions, making it easy and comfortable for the stomach to digest
  • Reducing the chance of side effects or post-surgery complications from food

Following Steps to Diet After Surgery 

The post-surgery diet consists of several steps. The length of a stage and what solids and liquids to include in each stage is what your healthcare specialist can help with.

  1. Liquid Diet 

Start liquids one day or so after the surgery. Once comfortable having clear liquids, you can start with the following:

  1. Broth
  2. Unsweetened Juice
  3. Milk
  4. Sugar-free gelatine or popsicles
  5. Decaffeinated coffee or tea

Pureed Diet 

Once you can tolerate liquids, start with mashed or pureed food. It has the consistency of a smooth paste, similar to a thick liquid. Take three to six meals in small portions, and take 30 minutes to complete a meal. Using a blender or mixer can give better results. Keep away from adding spicy seasonings to the liquid, as it can irritate your stomach. The options are:

  • Cottage cheese
  • Lean ground meat, fish, or poultry
  • Cooked cereal
  • Soft scrambled egg
  • Strained cream soups
  • Soft fruit and vegetable

Mix solid food with liquids, and you can have the following:

  • Broth
  • Juice without sugar
  • Skim milk
  • Water

In this step, it is essential not to take fluids with the meals.

Soft Food Diet 

Check with your gastric bypass doctor before starting soft food. Try to take it in small, chewable pieces for easy digestion. You should have one-third to one-half of food per meal. Chew every portion before swallowing it:

  • Flaked dish
  • Cottage cheese
  • Rice
  • Cooked or dry cereal
  • Soft fruit
  • Vegetables without the skin
  • Ground lean or poultry items

Eat in little with good control of the portion, which can help your stomach properly digest the food.

Solid Foods

So, after taking pureed and liquids for eight weeks, it’s time to start with solids. Start with three meals daily, and have 1 to 1½ portions of food. Stop eating before you are full. Talk to your healthcare expert to alter the number and amount of your meal, depending on your digestive capacity. Include a new food one at a time. Some food can lead to vomiting, nausea, or other problems after the surgery. The below list items can cause problems at this stage:

  • Fried food
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Popcorn
  • Bread
  • Carbonated drinks
  • Red meat
  • Raw vegetables
  • Fibrous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, or corn
  • Spicy foods
  • Tough meat

However, with time you can try these as well, with the correct guidance of your dietician.

Keeping Nutrition in Mind

While on a diet to lose weight, make sure you take proper proteins, minerals, and vitamins. Add more fruits, vegetables, protein, and whole grains that can supply the best nutrients to your body.

Protein is the essential thing to add soon after the surgery. It helps build up muscles and body tissues and speed up healing. Some low-fat protein options are:

  • Fish
  • Lean beef
  • Skinless Chicken
  • Beans
  • Whole eggs or egg whites
  • Dairy products

If your body lacks important minerals and vitamins, you need to take supplements after surgery:

  • Multivitamin with iron
  • Calcium and vitamin D
  • Vitamin B12

But it is important to take these only with the guidance of the bariatric surgeon after proper and regular checkups. The professionals can check your mineral and calorie count and take proper daily food portions.

Having a Healthy Diet Plan

The surgery will reduce the stomach’s size and change how it reacts to the food you take. It’s essential to check for adequate nourishment and effective weight loss. The doctor will recommend following the tips:

  • Take Small Meals – Take small meal portions, starting with six meals daily after the surgery, then four meals, and then start your regular diet.
  • Eat and Drink Slowly – It is important to do to avoid dumping syndrome. You shouldn’t take liquids 30 minutes before and after the meal.
  • Chew Food Properly – The new passage to your intestine is small. So, you have to chew the food carefully and take it in small sizes. It can prevent the chance of food blockage.

In addition, avoid foods of high sugar and fat as it can lead to dumping syndrome.

Does undergoing different weight loss surgery the only way forward?

No!! The answer is obvious No!! There is always an alternative. One can seek nonsurgical weight loss procedures to race ahead in their weight loss journey. This article will help people learn in-depth about different nonsurgical weight loss procedures.

Different Nonsurgical Weight Loss Procedures

Medical science has made progress in modifying an individual’s shape with a pinch of magic. But also, it has found painless ways to detect and counter a problem. Different nonsurgical loss procedures are a testament that science is finding solutions to help people in a minimalist way.

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty(ESG)

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty(ESG) effectively reduces unwanted body weight minimally. In this process, a doctor combines with an endoscopist to treat the root area of the abnormality. At first, the endoscopist sends an endoscope inside the patient’s body to generate real-life images.

The doctor analyses the situation and then places a series of sutures in the stomach region to reduce its size strategically. Next, the doctor ties the sutures and makes the stomach look like a sleeve structure. The unorthodox stomach shape will obstruct the easy flow of food from the typical passage.

The after-effect of this will be that the patient will experience a low appetite and consume less food. This strategy will directly lead the patient to reduce their weight. After completing the remaining process, the endoscopist takes the endoscope from the patient. The patient goes to the monitor room for further supervision.

Orbera (Fluid-Filled) Gastric Balloon

Orbera (Fluid-Filled) Gastric Balloon is a popular nonsurgical weight loss procedure. This procedure is suitable for patients whose BMI ranges from 30 to 40. People struggling to reduce their weight through diet and exercise can also undergo this procedure.

In this process, a doctor places a fluid-filled balloon inside a patient to reduce the regular intake of food consumption. With the help of an endoscope, the doctor first strategically places the deflated balloon. Then the doctor inflates the balloon with a blue-dye saline solution according to the patient’s requirements.

Later the doctor adjusts the balloon’s position and seals it after completing all the arrangements. The patient keeps the balloon for at least six months with a rigorous diet and healthy lifestyle. The doctor supervises the patient’s weight loss journey throughout this tenure.

Obalon (Gas-Filled) Balloon System

The Obalon balloon system is a nonsurgical procedure to initiate weight loss through a gas-filled balloon. In this process, the patient first swallows a deflated balloon capsule, only the size of a vitamin tablet.

Once the pills reach the stomach, the doctor inflates the balloon with nitrogen gas with a particular device. The balloons move freely after inflation and maintain their buoyancy and position. The doctor sets other advanced machinery to introspect the positioning of the freely moving balloons.

This procedure’s after-effect is that the patient’s stomach remains complete, and they consume less food. It aids them in their weight loss journey.

KEN Diet

Ketogenic Enteral Nutrition, or KEN diet, is a popular nonsurgical weight loss procedure. But it is challenging as the patient only consumes protein-based diets through a tube for ten days. The KEN diet is effective for people who are just above 25 BMI.

In this process, the doctor inserts a feeding tube through various openings in the patient’s body to the stomach. Next, the doctor feeds continuous protein liquid through the tube. The constant feeding process triggers ketosis. Ketosis is the state in a body where a person loses fats instead of glucose.

As a result, the patient loses interest in hunger and starts losing weight. Doctors recommend this cycle for ten days but are customisable according to the patient’s goals.

Stomach Injections for Weight Loss

Different weight loss injections, such as Semaglutide, Wegovy, Ozempic, and Liraglutide, are gaining popularity in the existing market. These injections have unique components to initiate weight loss and reduce appetite. But one should consult with a doctor before taking any further action.

Advantages of Nonsurgical Weight Loss Procedures

Nonsurgical weight loss procedures and bariatric surgery have different approaches but the same goal. But it is crucial to know the advantages that nonsurgical weight loss procedures bring with them:-
