Surgeries for the treatment of diabetes and obesity are performed by the General Surgery Specialist and his team at NPISTANBUL Hospital. (Bariatric surgery)
Operations for obesity and diabetes surgery can be performed by performing stomach reduction and intestinal shortening surgeries that can be performed together.
These surgeries are not applied to every patient. In order for the operations to be successful, detailed consultation is required before the operation. In our hospital, a comprehensive diagnostic process is initiated based on the complaints of our clients. If our specialists find it appropriate, the necessary surgical intervention is applied. After all necessary procedures are performed, the operation process is initiated.
Which Patient Types Can These Surgeries Be Applied to?
These surgical interventions for the treatment of obesity and diabetes are applied to patients between the ages of 18 and 60. Before the surgery, a detailed examination is performed by a team consisting of internal medicine, psychologist and nutritionist. Body Mass Index (BMI) above 40, and if it is less, findings of metabolic diseases are the basis for the evaluation. These surgeries, which are not applied under the age of 18, can be performed according to the physical condition of the person in patients over 60 years of age.
What is the Procedure Before Stomach Reduction Surgery?
Surgeries applied in obesity treatment such as stomach reduction are performed in line with the patient's personal characteristics and needs. The operation is performed after the patient is examined in all aspects and it is determined whether he/she will benefit from the surgeries. It is determined whether the patient will adapt after surgery. First of all, the patient is educated about the lifestyle after the operation and the differences he/she will experience in 1.5-2 years after the operation are explained. After all of these are reviewed and the patient is convinced, the surgery is decided. The mutual trust between the doctor and the patient is very important here.
How long does it take to get results?
Fifty percent of the excess weight is lost in the first 6 months afterstomach reduction operations. Fifty percent in the second 6 months and 75% of the excess weight is lost in a year. The patient is expected to reach the ideal weight after one and a half years. At this point, it is important that the patient fully complies with all diets and prevention programs. Especially the first 6 months after surgery are very important.
