How Do I Calculate My Body Mass Index?

How many types of Obesity Surgery are there?

There are two basic principles in obesity surgeries.

These are restrictive or malabsorptive surgeries.

Gastric sleeve gastrectomy is the most common method used in restrictive surgeries in obesity surgery today. These surgeries are both suitable for human physiology and the most comfortable for the patient. If obesity is accompanied by diabetes, transit bipartition, ileal interposition sadi-s or mini gastric By-Pass operations can be applied to the patient.

The common point of all surgeries other than sleeve gastrectomy is the construction of new pathways in the intestines to control hormonal traffic.

How Does the Process Work in Surgical Treatment?

When you come to our hospital, our doctors will examine you and get detailed information about your lifestyle, diet, and family history.

After your examination, your 1-day examination process begins. If there is no condition in your examinations and examination findings that may prevent the operation, your surgery will take place. Your doctor will discharge you within 3-4 days, depending on your condition. After the surgery, it takes 6 months to 1 year for you to fall back to normal weight.
