Weight Loss Surgery FAQ
What is Weight Loss Surgery?
Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, includes procedures such as gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and revision surgeries. These operations help patients lose excess weight by reducing the stomach size and improving metabolism.
Who is a Good Candidate for Weight Loss Surgery?
Weight loss surgery is ideal for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 35, or over 30 with obesity-related health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. A medical evaluation is required to determine suitability.
How Long is the Recovery After Surgery?
Most patients can return to normal daily activities within 1–2 weeks after surgery. Full recovery and adaptation to the new lifestyle usually take a few months, guided by your doctor’s recommendations.
How Much Weight Can I Expect to Lose?
On average, patients lose 60–80% of their excess weight within the first year after surgery. The results depend on maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and medical follow-up.
Is Weight Loss Surgery Safe?
Yes, when performed by an experienced bariatric surgeon like Prof. Dr. Oğuzhan Karatepe, weight loss surgery is safe and effective. The procedures are typically minimally invasive (laparoscopic), resulting in faster recovery and fewer complications.
