Bariatric Surgery, also known as Obesity Surgery, is a unique field where diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea and many more diseases can be cured with a single operation.

Bariatric surgery is a proven method for long-term and permanent weight loss.

Bariatric Surgery is performed with the laparoscopic technique. With the help of special camera devices connected to monitors, our surgeons are able to observe the inside of the abdomen without causing a large wound in the abdomen of the patient and perform the surgical procedure more quickly and easily.

Today, the most preferred methods among these surgeries performed with the technique of reducing the stomach volume or reducing the nutrient absorption areas are Sleeve Gastrectomy and Gastric Bypass surgeries.
 

Who Can Have Bariatric Surgery?

Certain conditions are required for Bariatric Surgery to be performed:

Body mass index should be over 40 (35 according to some sources).
If there are uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia problems, this rate can be reduced.
The person must be in good mental health.

In addition, heart patients other than those with severe or serious heart disease can undergo Bariatric Surgery. The decision for surgery usually depends on whether there is any heart condition.
 

What Should Be Done Before Bariatric Surgery?

Before performing bariatric surgery, the general health status of the patient should be checked. Weight and body analysis should be done by examining nutritional status and living conditions in detail, and body composition should undergo a detailed examination. The patient's health status should be evaluated in detail.

First of all, the patient should be examined in detail by an endocrinologist with detailed biochemical and hormonal tests. After deciding that he is a suitable candidate for surgery, he should be tested for the general risks of the surgery and heart or lung problems, and important tests such as heart and respiratory function tests should be performed.

The operation process, the rules to be followed after the surgery and the nutrition program should be explained in detail to the person who will undergo obesity surgery.
