Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Specialist

Obesity, which is one of the most important diseases required to intervene of our age, brings many diseases that threaten health if not treated. The diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, joint disorders, liver and biliary tract problems, sleep apnea syndrome, hypertension, stroke (stroke), uterus, breast, prostate and colon cancers are caused by fat in the body, that is, obesity.

Today, the most effective treatment method for obesity is surgical interventions. We perform gastric sleeve surgery, known as obesity surgery and diabetes surgery (metabolic surgery) (popularly known as sleeve gastrectomy), gastric bypass, transit bipartition, duodenal switch surgeries and non-surgical gastric balloon application.

I recommend our patients having obesity and problems related to it to be treated with surgical interventions we perform, rather than risking their lives for surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is There Any Prolapse After Obesity Surgery?

You cannot say with 100% certainty whether a patient will have a sagging problem after losing weight before surgery. However, the possibility of prolapse after the surgery is high in the people who have too much excess weight to be lost according to their ideal weight.

Is Hair Loss Occurring After Surgery Permanent?

After the surgery, there is a hair loss problem that lasts for 2-3 months on average, especially starting from the 3rd month. This especially occurs in the patients experiencing iron, biotin, zinc and selenium deficiencies. Therefore, it is important to use vitamins especially in the first 3 months after the surgery. The vitamins detected to be deficient in the controls should be supplemented. The hair loss is not permanent. Weakened hair strands break and there is no problem in the hair root.

Which Method Is Suitable For Me, Gastric Sleeve Or Bypass?

If the patient does not have weight-related resistant diabetes, if there is no gastric hernia and severe reflux in the endoscopy, gastric sleeve is recommended. Bypass should be preferred more in the patients having the obesity disease due to excessive sugar consumption. For those who have a gastric sleeve and gain weight again, bypass is preferred as revision.

How Long Does the Risk of Leakage Last After Surgery?

In order to check whether there is a leakage or not, a blue dyed liquid is given during the surgery and a control film is taken one day after the surgery. If no leakage is detected in this test and film, then leakage does not occur.

How to Reduce the Risk of Leakage?

Not making the gastric smaller than necessary during the surgery reduces the risk of leakage, and additionally suturing the gastric part that is cut during the surgery reduces the risk of leakage.

When Can I Return To Work / Normal Life After Surgery?

After you are discharged from the hospital, it takes an average of 1 week for you to get used to the new procedure after the surgery, for your stitches to go away and for your body to be completely discharged from anesthesia. Therefore, all our patients can return to work 1 week after the surgery, unless there is an unusual situation.
