Dr. Hamouda Salim AlAfari

Dr. Hamouda Salim AlAfari is a consultant bariatric and metabolic surgeon with over 15 years of clinical experience in obesity surgery and minimally invasive techniques. He practices at Burjeel in Abu Dhabi and has performed thousands of weight-loss procedures, building expertise in both primary surgeries and complex revisional cases for patients whose previous operations need correction or adjustment.

Dr. AlAfari's clinical focus spans sleeve gastrectomy (stomach reduction), gastric bypass, and one-anastomosis gastric bypass techniques. He is skilled in managing complications after weight-loss surgery—such as leaks, strictures, internal hernias, dumping syndrome, low blood sugar, and nutritional deficiencies—using advanced laparoscopic and minimally invasive methods. His approach emphasizes evidence-based practice, complication prevention, and continuous quality improvement.

He is actively engaged in surgical education and simulation training, and works within multidisciplinary teams to support patients through counseling and coordinated care. Dr. AlAfari is a good fit for patients seeking primary weight-loss surgery or those requiring revision of a previous bariatric procedure, as well as anyone needing expert management of post-surgical complications.
