Types and Processes of Obesity Surgery
Obesity surgery is a serious treatment method that requires a detailed evaluation and preparation process. Here are the stages of the obesity surgery process in Turkey and the main surgical methods applied:
-
Pre-Evaluation and Consultation:
-
Patients apply through Health Voyage via an online application form or by phone.
-
Our specialist doctors evaluate the patients' medical history and current health condition.
-
The most suitable surgical method is determined according to the suitability, and detailed information is provided to the patients.
-
-
Preparation Process:
-
Before the surgical intervention, patients start dietary, exercise, and psychological preparation processes.
-
Necessary medical tests and examinations are conducted.
-
Patients are prepared for surgery in the best possible way.
-
-
Surgical Interventions:
-
Sleeve Gastrectomy: In sleeve gastrectomy, approximately 75-80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a thin, tube-shaped stomach. This method reduces the stomach capacity, allowing patients to feel full with less food. Additionally, the part of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone ghrelin is removed, reducing appetite.
-
Gastric Bypass: In this method, a small stomach pouch is created, and part of the small intestine is connected to this pouch. This allows food to bypass the stomach and a portion of the small intestine. This method restricts food intake and reduces nutrient absorption.
-
Gastric Balloon: The gastric balloon is a silicone balloon placed in the stomach endoscopically. The balloon occupies space in the stomach, allowing patients to feel full with less food. The balloon is usually removed after six months, during which patients are expected to lose weight.
-
Gastric Band (Lap-Band): The adjustable gastric band is a silicone band placed around the upper part of the stomach, dividing it into two sections. The band’s tightness can be adjusted externally to narrow the stomach opening. This method restricts stomach capacity, promoting weight loss.
-
-
Post-Surgery Care and Rehabilitation:
-
Post-surgery, all necessary care services are provided to ensure that patients recover quickly and healthily.
-
Personalized programs prepared by dietitians and physiotherapists help regulate patients' nutrition and exercise habits.
-
Psychological support boosts patients' morale and motivation.
-
-
Follow-Up and Long-Term Support:
-
Through Health Voyage, patients are regularly followed up after the treatment.
-
The recovery process and achieved results are continuously monitored by doctors, with interventions made when necessary.
-
Long-term support programs ensure that patients maintain healthy lifestyle habits.
-

International patients can undergo treatment safely and comfortably in Turkey, taking a step towards a healthy life. Contact Health Voyage to receive obesity surgery from expert doctors and in fully equipped hospitals, and say hello to a healthy future.
