Dr. Islam Abdelkhalek, Bariatric Surgeon - Alexandria, Egypt

I had a MGB in September. I was recommended Dr Islam by another patient and after reading numerous reviews and doing my own in depth research decided to proceed. The whole process was so easy, and on landing in Alexandria, I was treated with the utmost regard. My driver Walid was a delight and helped me settle into the hospital after the paperwork formalities. The hospital staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. The procedure was uneventful and The aftercare was faultless. Recovery was quick with my hotel stay extremely comfortable. Once home I carried out Dr Islam's instructions to the letter, was pain-free within 10 days and am now about 4 months post-op with a 6st loss so far. I cannot praise Dr Islam, Mayar and the staff enough for making what was a possibly nerve-wracking experience, a simple, no-fuss procedure.

My experience with Dr Islam is nothing but perfect. Professionalism is top-notch, and the hospital is state-of-the-art.

The team is excellent and the hospital staff are lovely.

My advice to anyone who is doubting it is to drop the doubt and opt for Dr Islam. He is the best!!!

Khadi

Dr. Islam and Mayar were extremely friendly and patient with my questions from the first booking enquiry to the post-surgery follow-up.

The nutritionist Dr Ziad, driver Waleed, nurses, and ward doctors were all lovely and made sure I knew where I could follow up with them if there were any issues (there were not).

The hospital itself was clean and quiet and the gastric sleeve procedure has so far (two weeks in) not had any negative side-effects.

Dr Islam and his team made this a very easy and worthwhile experience!

Andrea

I got sleeved on 24th February, 2024 and it's been good so far. From Waleed, who patiently waited for my companion and I, to the hospital staff. We had a lot of care from Day one till the day I left Alexandria. The Surgery process was also smooth as I was relaxed and made to feel comfortable. Still in the healing process as at today(23days post op), but it's all coming together nicely. And Dr Islam is always ready to answer my questions and checks in from time to time even now I am back home in Nigeria. Can wait to share my progress report

Abimbola

I always consider it a blessing finding Dr. Islam on whatclinic. From the very day I put an inquiry till the actual day of my surgery, I have nothing but good words for him & his team. I got sleeved on the 4th of March 2024. I have never been hospitalized all my life & the experience I’ve had with him, his team of doctors, nurses, patient co-ordinator, driver… were beyond exceptional. I was indeed taken good care of. He is very responsive & makes sure you are well-attended

April

In the beginning, I was afraid of pain post-operation but right away Dr Islam was assuring me that would be definitely under control. Furthermore, I was very much impressed by the professionalism of the entire team from the anaesthetist, to the nurses and of course to the know-how of Dr Islam. The way he explained all the entire procedure make a big difference! Bravo keep the good work definitely the right surgeon to choose for your surgery.

Debbie

I could give 6 stars I would !
Dr Islam was recommended by a friend of mine, I done loads of research on this clinic and could not find fault anywhere. I had the surgery in May 2023 and has lost nearly 6 stone and looks amazing. The service was brilliant we were kept informed on everything. Our contact was brilliant Mayar they were so informative and nothing was a problem .
Would highly recommend this clinic Dr Islam was incredible and took great care of me and explained everything from start to finish. MANY, MANY THANKS .

Amy

I went for a mini-gastric bypass, I arrived last month, collected at the airport by their driver. Taken directly to the hospital. I had my own room with my own bathroom/shower a TV and air-conditioning.
All the staff were amazing. They made me feel very welcome. I had many tests like blood pressure, ECG, blood was taken. I had my last meal which was lovely, chicken with some cheeses, bread rolls, and yoghurt.
Later that day I was cleared for surgery. Dr Islam took me through the procedure and relieved any concerns I had. After the operation, you'll stay one more night so they can keep an eye on everything.
Dr Islam took me through the drugs I needed to take and when. He gave me a pack on the dietary steps to be taken. The hotel was lovely that they recommend. If you wanted to do the pyramids and museums you should feel well enough. I didn't have any real issues. Getting in and out of bed was a little sore, you just need to be careful of your stitches.
Overall I've had a great experience and so far so good. The weight is falling away. I would highly recommend it to anyone who like me had tried the diets and failed, and was looking for a more permanent solution.

Millie

After the operation the team 48 hour wrap around care was phenomenal. I highly recommend to contact Mayar for a smooth safe transition to Egypt all your questions answered in timely finer detail with travelling to Alexandria Egypt supports and manages your expectations. We met Dr Islam who came to my bedside pre op to professionally introduce himself his presence was warm and genuine and his wisdom in Bariatric Surgery was reassuring demonstrated in his approach to check your overall well being

He made me feel welcome as special guest to Egypt not just a patient. Key advice please follow Dr Islam simple instructions around medication, exercise & dietary 8 week stages after surgery designed simple MENU easy to follow with step by step nutritional guide.

It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning!"

Ana

I had been thinking long and hard about getting a sleeve and while searching, I found Dr. Islam

Their representative Mayar is always quick to reply and courteous. She sent me all the information I needed in a clear and professional manner. She also sent me reminders and made sure I had all the paperwork I needed with me. The booking process was quick and simple and after a few weeks, I arrived at Alexandria

I met the wonderful Dr. Islam who performed my procedure. A proper gentleman who visited me often in the hospital. The staff of the hospital were all skilled, kind. The dietician Dr. Ziad were all so lovely and helpful with my queries.

My experience with Dr. Islam was brilliant and I highly recommend him

Jessica

I recently had a gastric sleeve operation with Dr. Islam and I cannot say enough positive things about my experience. From start to finish, the team made me feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for.
The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions or address any concerns I had. They took the time to explain the entire process to me, from the pre-operative preparation to the recovery period after the surgery.
During the surgery, I felt completely at ease knowing that I was in good hands. The surgical team was highly skilled and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I woke up feeling relieved and grateful for the care I received.
Throughout the recovery period, the staff continued to provide exceptional care. They were always available to answer my questions and provide guidance, and they checked in on me regularly to ensure that I was healing properly.
Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Islam to anyone considering a gastric sleeve operation. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly cares about their patients. They made me feel like a valued member of their community and I am grateful for the positive experience I had with them.

I’m excited to live a healthier lifestyle.

Emma

My name is Daniella, I am from the UK and I suffered from my obesity for such a long time in my life It really affected me And depress me severely. Then I said to myself enough was enough, then I came across this clinic. I contacted Dr Islam, he was very quick to answer and answered all my questions. He helps me to pick my live changing operation, which was the mini gastric bypass. The hospital was very good. I highly recommend Dr Islam because of his professionalism, kindness and amazing support which he gave me before and after my surgery. Anyone who is struggling with their obesity, I would highly recommend them to come to Dr Islam. He is the best surgeon that I have ever come across. Fantastic experience.

Daniella

From the initial contact to now Dr Islam has passed all my expectations. I travelled from the UK to have a gastric sleeve. I initially wanted the mini bypass but I was not suitable for this due to other health issues and the fact that Dr Islam said no, this reassured me even more as it wasn’t about money and was genuinely about his patient's health. I have not had to taken painkillers from the day after my procedure and have felt fine through my whole journey. Everyone involved from the drivers collecting you from the airport, the porter, the nurses and Dr Islam's secretary and of course Dr Islam himself are so lovely and friendly. Thank you all for giving me a new start, I honestly can not recommend you all enough

Sophie

Egypt wasn't on my list of places to have weight loss surgery until I came across Dr Islam. I made an enquiry got a speedy response and went from there. We had a very thorough zoom consultation and this man knows his stuff.

It didn't take long for me to realise this was the surgeon for me. I did have to wait for Egypt to come of the UK red list and when it did I booked straight away.

I flew to Egypt on 17th October with one of my daughters as a companion. We were collected by a driver and taken straight to the hospital. That's when I met Dr Islam who is so welcoming. We went through the plans for my Mini gastric bypass surgery for next day and did all the necessary pre op checks.

Surgery day and I was straight down to theatre, all went as planned no complications. The medical team looked after me so well, nothing was ever a problem.

I am nearly 4 months post op and I feel so well and happy with the weightloss to date.

Thank you to all the team. Extra special thanks to Mayar who constantly checks in on you post op and is on hand to help.

Dr Islam really cares about his patients and you can tell he is passionate about his job and wants to change people's lives.

Natalie

I had a gastric bypass done by Doctor Islam. The whole process was completely successful. Everything was professional. The human aspect was pervasive throughout the process from the first consultation. I was followed closely both before and after the operation. I was not left to myself, the secretary and doctor are both inside in a pleasant way, where I was guided and helped. The best recommendations from here.

Sara

I'm now two weeks post-op and wonder why I didnt do it earlier. I feel so much more energetic already.

I flew to Egypt on the 1st of July, my driver Walid was on time. Once at the hospital, the assistant surgeon Ismaiel checked us in and took us down to have our blood tests done. This was stress-free and then we were taken up to our rooms.

We were met by Dr Islam the day after and he discussed the procedure.

When it was my time I was collected and taken down for surgery, Dr Islam talked me through everything very clearly and I knew I was in good hands. When I woke up in my room the care staff were very comforting and checked on my regularly.

2 days after surgery we moved to our hotel and I have to say this was incredible! Such a nice place. The food smelt amazing and any accompanying person will enjoy some amazing food!

Dr Islam was a wonderful guy, very thorough and genuine. He made me feel so comfortable and has since replied to queries I have had.

I really couldnt fault any of the services at all.

Victoria

I had an amazing experience, had my operation on the 24th of February, and have lost nearly a stone in under 2 weeks. Dr Islam and his team were amazing, Mayar also handed with information and helped us organize a tour to the pyramids and took time to come to visit the hotel and gave me a lovely present. If you are hesitant, please don't be I already feel much better and looking forward to what's to come. Thank you, Dr Islam and Team.

Lorraine

Where can I start, where it all began when my best friend, had recommended Dr Islam when she had her surgery in October and how fantastic she was looking. So come December I was thinking right I need to look into this because I have used every option of losing weight. After Christmas in January, I've booked a consultation with Dr Islam just by having that consultation things were made easy to understand and I felt very comfortable I then had to get in contact with Mayar who did my booking date for March, It's still didn't seem real but my date was booked And I have something really special to look forward too.

On the day of the surgery, Dr ISlam and his team looked after me so well reassured me a hundred per cent and was in great care as I went for the MGB surgery he also repaired my Hiatal hernia which I was not aware of.

After the surgery after-care was given absolutely fantastic much is that from the moment I arrived at the airport and was taken from Dr Islam's driver who came to collect us straight from the airport to go to hospital and was looked after really well all checks were done on time it was just a fantastic service he's a fantastic man and Mayar was amazing she took care of everything couldn't thank these two people enough and his team they're amazing. I was in the best care ever.

Laura

I was recommended to Dr. Islam by a friend and the quick response very impressive. I had my gastric sleeve in May 2022. Dr. Islam is really very professional and friendly. He spended time discussing everything and to relieve any stresses. From the first time I contacted the clinic, I was put in touch with Mayar, my patient manager. She organised all transport from the airport to the hospital, from the hospital to the hotel and from the hotel back to the airport. The care I received was excellent and value for money! Walid the driver who picked me was great, offered to carry all my luggage and he stayed with me till he made sure I got my room in the hospital which was very neat and classy and I was placed into a lovely room. The operation was without complications, and no pain. The nursing staff are wonderful. The care was far superior to the NHS!

Zoe

My name is Lynda, I am from UK. I had my gastric sleeve done 6 months ago with Dr. Islam. I am happy by my achievement. From time I reached Egypt, Walid was waiting for me, he is very friendly but the way, he took me directly to the hospital, where I did my preoperation tests and I had my surgery the day after. Dr. Islam is very friendly and he took time to discuss everything. I was back home after 5 days feeling no pain at all. All the team was professional. I would recommend Dr. Islam to anyone

Before the surgery, Dr. Islam took the time to explain everything in detail and answer all of my questions. He made sure I was fully informed and comfortable with the procedure before moving forward. During the surgery, he was attentive and professional, making me feel at ease despite my nerves.

Since the surgery, I have lost about 5 stone thanks to Dr. Islam's skillful work. My weight has decreased from 17 stone to 12 stone, and I feel healthier and happier than ever before. The results have been life-changing for me, and I owe it all to Dr. Islam's expertise.

Surayya

My name is Heike and I’m German. my husband Houssein and I decided to make the operation in Alexandria. I was operated on by Dr Islam in December 2021 and got a bypass.

After 24 hours post-op we were allowed to leave the clinic with a nurse. The clinic stay was very good - very professional and caring staff. The nurse was with us for three days and looked after me wonderfully. I was very tired for 14 days but had no pain. After four weeks I was allowed to eat everything again. I eat about six small portions, including sweets. I try to get enough protein with food I also take Maddavit vitamin tablets every day and I get a b12 injection once a month, which hurts more than the op.

My blood levels are checked every three months and so far they have always been in order. I haven't taken any high blood pressure tablets since the op and my blood pressure is great.

I have lost 80 kg to date and halved once. it is such a wonderful feeling and I can move and walk again and have no more problems. The only bad thing is that my hair is very thin and I have to be very careful about what painkillers I can take, for example. our life is worth living again. My husband and I are so grateful to dr islam!!!! every obese person should take this step - it's not always easy, but it's worth it.
