Obesity Surgery (Bariatric Surgery)

Obesity surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a comprehensive treatment approach designed for individuals who are unable to achieve sustainable weight loss through diet, exercise, and medical therapies alone. Beyond weight reduction, bariatric procedures aim to improve obesity-related health conditions and enhance overall quality of life.

Who Is a Candidate?

Bariatric surgery may be considered for individuals who:

Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 kg/m² or higher

Have a BMI of 35 kg/m² or higher with obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, or joint disorders

Have not achieved lasting weight loss with medically supervised programs

Are medically and psychologically suitable for surgery

A detailed multidisciplinary evaluation is conducted prior to surgery to determine eligibility.

Common Bariatric Procedures

The most frequently performed procedures include:

Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve): Reduction of stomach volume to limit food intake and decrease appetite hormones.

Gastric Bypass: Restructuring of the digestive system to reduce both food intake and calorie absorption.

The choice of procedure is determined based on the patient’s health status, BMI, metabolic profile, and physician assessment.

Benefits of Obesity Surgery

Significant and sustained weight loss

Improvement or remission of type 2 diabetes

Better blood pressure and cholesterol control

Reduction in sleep apnea symptoms

Enhanced mobility and quality of life

Many patients experience substantial improvement in obesity-related comorbidities within the first year following surgery.

Preoperative and Postoperative Process

Obesity surgery is not a standalone solution but part of a long-term treatment journey.

Preoperative Phase:

Comprehensive medical evaluation

Nutritional counseling

Psychological assessment

Detailed laboratory and imaging studies

Postoperative Phase:

Gradual dietary transition program

Regular follow-up appointments

Nutritional supplementation when necessary

Ongoing lifestyle modification support

Long-term success depends on adherence to dietary guidelines, regular physical activity, and routine medical follow-up.
