What is Weight Loss Surgery ?
Weight loss surgery Turkey, also known as bariatric surgery, is a medical intervention designed to assist individuals facing serious health issues due to their excessive weight, particularly when conventional diet and exercise methods have proven ineffective. The main goal of weight loss surgery is to reduce food absorption in the stomach and intestines while limiting food consumption. By altering or interfering with the digestive process, weight loss aims to prevent food from being broken down and absorbed in the usual manner. Diminished nutrient and calorie uptake enables patients to lose weight and reduces their vulnerability to health risks or illnesses associated with obesity. There are different techniques regarding the weight loss surgery, such as gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and gastric banding. The choice of surgical approach for weight loss surgery depends on several factors, including the patient’s health status, body mass index (BMI), medical history, lifestyle, and preferences.

Weight Loss Surgery Types
Each type of procedure employs distinct mechanisms to achieve weight reduction. These surgical interventions are carefully selected based on a patient’s health profile, goals, and preferences.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric Sleeve in Turkey is usually performed through a laparoscopy, involving the removal of 75-80% of the patientʼs stomach. The laparoscopic method allows for a shorter recovery and safer surgical procedure. Removing a big part of your stomach can store less food, and patients feel full sooner. The secretion of ghrelin, the hormone causing the feeling of hunger, will also be diminished, all of this leading to a fast weight loss. The effectiveness of this method makes it one of the most preferred surgeries worldwide.
