Gastric Bypass in Turkey

Gastric Bypass

Although gastric bypass surgery is a little easier than gastric sleeve surgery, it is still a surgery that needs attention. This surgery is performed in many countries, but it does not give the same result. It is very important that you choose a safe and suitable country. Gastric bypass surgery in Turkey is one of the best countries in this sense. You can safely have your surgery and return to your country. The results are 100% successful. Obesity surgeries are surgeries that can have very serious risks if performed incorrectly. It is important that these operations are performed by reliable surgeons. If you look at the average success rate in Turkey, you can see that it is the most reliable country for gastric bypass surgery. Turkey is both medically safe and very comfortable for your personal safety. If you are at the decision stage for surgery, Turkey should be first on your preference list
The average cost of a gastric bypass in Turkey would cost 4000 USD.
After weight-loss surgery, you generally won’t be allowed to eat for one to two days so that your stomach and digestive system can heal. Then, you’ll follow a specific diet for a few weeks. The diet begins with liquids only, then progresses to pureed, very soft foods, and eventually to regular foods

You may feel pain at your incision site or from the position your body was in during surgery. Some patients also experience neck and shoulder pain after laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Your comfort is very important to us.

The average weekly weight loss of gastric bypass patients is around 5 to 15 lbs for the first two to three months. It starts to taper off to 1 to 2 lbs a week after six months.
Most gastric bypass surgery is laparoscopic, which means the surgeon makes small cuts. That makes for shorter recovery time. Most people stay in the hospital for 2 to 3 days and get back to normal activities in 3 to 5 weeks.
Gastric bypass is surgery that helps you lose weight by changing how your stomach and small intestine handle the food you eat.
After the surgery, your stomach will be smaller. You will feel full with less food.
The food you eat will no longer go into some parts of your stomach and small intestine that absorb food. Because of this, your body will not get all of the calories from the food you eat.
You will have general anaesthesia before this surgery. You will be asleep and pain-free.
The first step makes your stomach smaller. Your surgeon uses staples to divide your stomach into a small upper section and a larger bottom section. The top section of your stomach (called the pouch) is where the food you eat will go. The pouch is about the size of a walnut. It holds only about 1 ounce (oz) or 28 grams (g) of food. Because of this you will eat less and lose weight.
The second step is the bypass. Your surgeon connects a small part of your small intestine (the jejunum) to a small hole in your pouch. The food you eat will now travel from the pouch into this new opening and into your small intestine. As a result, your body will absorb fewer calories.
Gastric bypass can be done in two ways. With open surgery, your surgeon makes a large surgical cut to open your belly. The bypass is done by working on your stomach, small intestine, and other organs.
Another way to do this surgery is to use a tiny camera, called a laparoscope. This camera is placed in your belly. The surgery is called laparoscopy. The scope allows the surgeon to see inside your belly.
The surgeon makes 4 to 6 small cuts in your belly.
The scope and instruments needed to perform the surgery are inserted through these cuts.
The camera is connected to a video monitor in the operating room. This allows the surgeon to view inside your belly while doing the operation.

To be eligible for bariatric surgery, you must be between 16 and 70 years of age (with some exceptions) and morbidly obese (weighing at least 100 pounds over your ideal body weight and having a BMI of 40).
The complication rate after revision of failed adjustable banding to gastric bypass is 7%, with the most common complication being wound infection. In the 10% to 15% of patients who fail to achieve adequate weight loss or who regain weight after RNYGBP, an anatomic or technical reason is rarely identified.
You can expect to lose up to 70% of excess body weight at one year. This surgery yields the most rapid weight loss. Disadvantages: Long term vitamin and nutrient supplementation is required. Patients routinely experience frequent and foul-smelling diarrhoea.
The benefits of bariatric surgery go beyond just losing weight:
Long-term remission for type 2 diabetes.
Improved cardiovascular health.
Relief of depression.
Eliminate obstructive sleep apnoea.
Joint pain relief.
Improve fertility.
Alleviate other medical conditions.
