Bariatric Surgery Procedures in Turkey

Weight loss surgery is also known as bariatric and metabolic surgery. These terms are used in order to reflect the impact of these operations on patients’ weight and the health of their metabolism.

What are the advantages of the bariatric surgery procedures?

These operations are very effective in treating:

• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Sleep apnea
• High cholesterol
• The ability to prevent future health problems.

These benefits allow patients with obesity who choose to undergo treatment, to enjoy a better quality of life and longer lifespan. They are performed with small incisions using minimally invasive surgical techniques (laparoscopic and robotic surgery).For that reason, Bariatric surgery procedures are extremely safe, with complication rates that are lower than common operations such as gallbladder removal, hysterectomy, and hip replacement.

What is the goal of bariatric surgery procedures?

The goal of these operations is to modify the stomach and intestines to treat obesity and related diseases. The operations may make the stomach smaller and also bypass a portion of the intestine. This results in less food intake and changes how the body absorbs food for energy resulting in decreased hunger and increased fullness. These procedures improve the body’s ability to achieve a healthy weight.
