(Weight Loss vs. Health Gain)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we must define &#8220;success.&#8221; In bariatric medicine, &#8220;success&#8221; is not just about a number on a scale. It has two main pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Significant, Maintained Weight Loss:<\/strong> This is the most visible metric.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improved Health (Health Gain):<\/strong> This is the most important metric.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As a surgeon with over two decades of experience, Prof. Dr. Karatepe emphasizes to his patients that the goal of <strong>bariatric surgery<\/strong> is not to make you &#8220;skinny,&#8221; but to make you *healthy*. The <strong>weight loss<\/strong> is the tool we use to achieve the &#8220;health gain.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;health gain&#8221; is the dramatic improvement or complete remission of serious, life-threatening obesity-related health conditions. A successful surgery is one that resolves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High Blood Sugar (Type 2 Diabetes)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High Cholesterol<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnoea<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Severe Joint Pain<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For weight loss, we use a medical standard called <strong>&#8220;Percentage of Excess Body Weight&#8221; (%EBW)<\/strong>. This is the most accurate way to measure success, as it is personalized to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-excess-body-weight-loss\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_EBW_Excess_Body_Weight_Loss\"><\/span>What is %EBW (Excess Body Weight Loss)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Excess Body Weight (%EBW) is the medical standard for tracking <strong>weight loss<\/strong>. It is the percentage of the &#8220;extra&#8221; weight you have lost. The formula is: <strong>Your Current Weight &#8211; Your Ideal Body Weight = Your Excess Body Weight<\/strong>. If you have 100 pounds of excess weight, a 70% %EBW loss means you have lost 70 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bariatric-surgery-success-rates-by-procedure\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bariatric_Surgery_Success_Rates_A_Look_at_the_Data\"><\/span>Bariatric Surgery Success Rates: A Look at the Data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>success rates of bariatric surgery<\/strong> are high, but they can differ slightly depending on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/karatepeklinik.com\/en\/types-of-bariatric-surgery\/\">type of bariatric surgery<\/a><\/strong> performed. The two &#8220;gold standard&#8221; procedures performed today are the <strong>Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)<\/strong> and the <strong>Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sleeve_Gastrectomy_Gastric_Sleeve_Success_Rate\"><\/span>Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve) Success Rate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>gastric sleeve<\/strong> is the most common <a href=\"https:\/\/karatepeklinik.com\/en\/bariatric-surgery\/\"><strong>bariatric surgery<\/strong> <\/a>performed worldwide. It works by removing 75-80% of the stomach, which provides both <strong>restriction<\/strong> (you feel full on less food) and a powerful <strong>hormonal<\/strong> effect (it removes the part of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone, ghrelin).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Weight Loss Success:<\/strong> On average, <strong>gastric sleeve<\/strong> patients lose <strong>60% to 70% of their excess body weight<\/strong> within 12 to 18 months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Health Gain Success:<\/strong> The <strong>success rate<\/strong> for resolving health problems is excellent. Studies show that <strong>bariatric surgery<\/strong> can lead to the remission of high blood sugar (type 2 diabetes) in up to 60-80% of patients. It also has a very high success rate for improving high blood pressure and sleep apnoea.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gastric_Bypass_Roux-en-Y_Success_Rate\"><\/span>Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) Success Rate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The gastric bypass is a more complex procedure. It involves creating a small stomach pouch and &#8220;bypassing&#8221; a portion of the small intestine.

This is not a &#8220;failure,&#8221; but a known challenge of the chronic disease of obesity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-term &#8220;success&#8221; in bariatric medicine is generally defined as <strong>keeping at least 50% of your excess body weight off<\/strong> for 5 years or more. By this standard, the vast majority of <strong>bariatric surgery<\/strong> patients are highly successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is possible for some patients to regain a portion of their weight (often 10-20% of what was lost) 2 to 5 years after their surgery. This is not a &#8220;failure&#8221; of the surgery, but a sign that the chronic disease of obesity is fighting back. This is why <strong>bariatric surgery<\/strong> is not a &#8220;magic cure&#8221; but a powerful <strong>tool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your long-term success is a partnership between the powerful tool your surgeon provides and your lifelong commitment to using it. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Following your <strong>post-op diet<\/strong> and focusing on &#8220;protein first.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoiding &#8220;slider foods&#8221; (high-calorie, soft foods like ice cream or crisps) that can &#8220;cheat&#8221; the sleeve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Committing to regular physical activity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attending your long-term follow-up appointments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If weight regain does happen, we have many tools to help, including <strong>bariatric revision surgery<\/strong> for patients who are eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-it-common-to-regain-weight-after-bariatric-surgery\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_common_to_regain_weight_after_bariatric_surgery\"><\/span>Is it common to regain weight after bariatric surgery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible for some patients to regain a portion of their weight (often 10-20% of what was lost) after several years. This is <strong>not a &#8220;failure,&#8221;<\/strong> but a sign that the chronic disease of obesity needs to be re-addressed.
