At first I was very worried because I live in Ireland and while I was talking to the Hermes team I got a lot of messages from other clinics trying to take my money and disappear. I felt so safe at the Hermès clinic that it made me want to get on a plane and see all these great services up close! It’s my first day after gastric bypass surgery and I rate the treatment 5 stars. Not to mention the punctual driver who picked me up at the airport without delay. Everything is going according to plan and according to the instructions of the whole team. Highly recommend!

Obesity leads to a reduction in the duration and deterioration of the quality of life and provokes the development of various dietary-related illnesses, including:

  • cardiovascular pathologies;
  • stroke;
  • diabetes mellitus;
  • sleep apnea;
  • some types of cancer;
  • depression.
Why is bariatric surgery the best option for treating obesity?

bariatric surgery for body mass index above 30With a high BMI (body mass index above 30), exercise and diet for weight loss are not enough for patients. In Turkish hospitals, including the famous Hizar Clinic in Istanbul, various bariatric surgery procedures are performed, including:

  • gastric bypass surgery;
  • sleeve gastrectomy;
  • adjustable gastric banding;
  • switching of the duodenum.

The procedures are aimed at reducing the size of the stomach so that a person quickly becomes full with small portions of food. Gastric bypass surgery provides the greatest weight loss. In Turkey, this intervention is performed with virtually no postoperative complications.

Who can get a gastric bypass in Turkey?

Who can get a gastric bypass in TurkeyThe main indicator for the operation is BMI. It can be calculated using the formula: BMI = body weight in kg/height in meters squared. According to WHO recommendations, a BMI of 25-29 indicates overweight, and over 30 is an indicator of obesity.

Gastric bypass is the most popular procedure in bariatric surgery. Gastric bypass in Turkey is indicated for obese patients who have:

  • body BMI 30 and above;
  • ineffective treatment with diet and exercise;
  • metabolic disorders.

Contraindications are the presence of alcohol and drug addiction, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, and serious mental disorders.

The psychological readiness of the patient to change the diet and lifestyle after gastric bypass in Turkey is of great importance. The future health and wellbeing depends on this.

How it is necessary to prepare for gastric bypass in Turkey?

prepare for gastric bypass in TurkeyAfter arriving at the clinic, the patient is consulted by specialists, anamnesis is collected, and wishes and preferences are discussed. Before conducting gastric bypass in Turkey, an examination is prescribed in order to perform the health assessment and exclude possible contraindications. It includes:

  • laboratory blood tests – to check the level of glucose, cholesterol, iron, vitamin B12, and blood clotting;
  • electrocardiogram (ECG) identifies possible heart rhythm disturbances or ischemia;
  • chest x-ray;
  • esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGDS). This is an endoscopic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract;
  • Ultrasound, CT, and MRI of the abdominal cavity. It shows tumors, stones, and inflammatory processes.

Diagnostics allow the surgeon to perform the progress assessment of the patient’s potential weight loss and suggest the optimal type of surgery.

How is gastric bypass performed in Turkey?

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in TurkeyRoux-en-Y gastric bypass is considered the gold standard in bariatric surgery and is used more often than other types of interventions. The operation consists of several stages. First, the surgeon cuts off the upper part of the stomach and forms a new organ with a volume of up to 30 grams. Then he divides the small intestine into 2 parts and connects the lower section and the gastric pouch. This way, food will bypass most of the stomach and go straight into the small intestine. Thanks to this, the patient will experience a feeling of fullness from small portions of food.

Gastric bypass surgery in Turkey is performed by experienced bariatric surgeons using general anesthesia for 2-3 hours. Laparoscopic surgery is predominantly used. Through 4-6 small incisions, the doctor inserts instruments and a miniature camera, which displays the surgical field on a monitor. This increases the success rate of gastric bypass surgery in Turkey. Recovery takes place within 2-3 weeks.

Important! The effect of gastric bypass in Turkey lasts throughout your life.

 

Benefits of mini gastric bypass:

The mini-gastrobypass technique was developed by American surgeon Robert Rutledge in 1997. This is a less technically demanding procedure, which is also performed laparoscopically. It differs from the classical one in that the surgeon does not divide the small intestine and creates only one anastomosis, the connection between the stomach and the small intestine.

Mini gastric bypass was specially designed for the following purposes:

  • reduction of the operation time by an average of 50 minutes;
  • simplification of operating techniques;
  • reduction of the risk of complications, for example: leakage or stenosis of the anastomosis.

After this intervention, the patient is usually discharged on the second day.

Features of nutrition after gastric bypass surgery in Turkey

Features of nutrition after gastric bypass surgery in TurkeyThe patient should be ready to realize the fact that after gastric bypass surgery in Turkey, the type of diet will change. Nutritionists individually develop a nutrition plan for each person. To adapt the digestive system to new conditions, light liquid food is prescribed at first.

To achieve maximum effect, nutritionists recommend:

  • to eat balanced, low-calorie, and protein-rich foods;
  • to eat 5-6 times a day in small portions, chewing thoroughly;
  • to drink enough water between meals;
  • to avoid fatty, sweet, spicy, and carbonated foods, alcohol;
  • due to a vitamin deficiency, to take prescribed medications containing them.

Rehabilitation includes physical activity and psychological support.

What results can be expected after gastric bypass surgery in Turkey?

  • reduction of the risk of stroke and heart attack, the development of cancer;

  • reduction of the load on the spine and joints;
  • improvement of psychological state.

Thanks to gastric bypass surgery in Turkey, patients are able to get rid of type 2 diabetes and reduce their dependence on medications. Most people note that they got rid of their complexes and felt satisfaction from life.

 

How many kilograms can you lose after gastric bypass surgery in Turkey?

weight loss after gastric bypass surgery in TurkeyAccording to the American Society of Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), after gastric bypass surgery, patients lose up to 70% of excess weight within the first year. Active weight loss begins after the procedure and lasts for 6-8 months. This occurs due to two factors:

  • restriction, saturation with small portions of food;
  • malabsorption, absorption of fewer calories due to the exclusion of most of the stomach and small intestine from the digestion process.

Over the next two years, the weight stabilizes. Some patients may gain back 10% of the weight they lost, but no more. It is important to eat properly during this period, avoid vitamin and mineral deficiency in the diet, and lead an active lifestyle.

What complications can occur after gastric bypass surgery?

Dumping syndrome may occur after bariatric surgery. The condition is characterized by weakness, sweating, dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea. This is due to the fact that food from the stomach enters the intestines too quickly, without having time to be properly digested.

Dumping syndrome can be:

  • early: it manifests within 15-20 minutes after eating and is associated with a sharp change in blood pressure and blood flow in the intestines;
  • late: it occurs 2-3 hours after eating and is associated with disturbances in blood sugar levels.

In most cases, it is enough to follow a diet, eat slowly in small portions, and medications may be prescribed to some patients.

Rarely, intra-abdominal infections, gastrointestinal bleeding, and pulmonary embolism may occur, which may require a follow up session of surgical intervention. It is necessary to adhere to the doctor’s recommendations, and if unpleasant symptoms appear, consult a specialist.

How long will you stay in Turkey during gastric bypass surgery?

Staying in Turkey for Gastric Bypass SurgeryThe stay in Turkey for gastric bypass surgery lasts on average 6 days, after which the patient can plan to return home. The program includes:

  •  Day 1 – arrival and hospitalization;
  •  Day 2 – specialist’s consultations and preoperative examination;
  •  Day 3 – surgery;
  •  Day 4 – transfer to the hotel;
