Bahrain: Waiting list for drastic stomach surgery to woo marriage partners

TradeArabia reports that patients are queuing up in Bahrain to have drastic stomach surgery to help them slim down to woo marriage partners, get better jobs or just to look good, said a top doctor.

There is a growing waiting list of people not necessarily hugely overweight, who want to go under knife, to look and feel better, said consultant general surgeon Dr Khalifa bin Dayna.

This is the first time such procedures have been carried out in Bahrain.
