Gastric Bypass

Gastric Bypass is one of the most commonly performed types of bariatric surgery. Gastric Bypass is done when diet and exercise haven't worked or when patient has serious health problems because of his weight.

In general, gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries could be an option for patient if.

• The body mass index (BMI) is 40 or higher (extreme obesity).

• The BMI is 35 to 39.9 (obesity), and patiens has a serious weight-related health problem, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or severe sleep apnea. In some cases, patient may qualifys for certain types of weight-loss surgery if his BMI is 30 to 34 and has a serious weight-related health problems.

But Gastric Bypass isn't for everyone who is severely overweight. Patient may needs to meet certain medical guidelines to qualify for weight-loss surgery. He likely will has an extensive screening process to see if he qualifys.

The patient must also be willing to make permanent changes to lead a healthier lifestyle. He may be required to participate in long-term follow-up plans that include monitoring his nutrition, lifestyle and behavior, and medical conditions.

There are different types of surgeries we perform to solve obesity in line with today's technology and possibilities.

After the necessary analysis and evaluations of the patient are made, it is decided which method will be used. One of the biggest factors behind success in the process is applying the right method.

Gastric Bypass surgery is one of the most effective methods in obesity surgery. With this application, the procedure is performed in both the stomach and the small intestine.

Technically, the operation is completed by reducing the size of the stomach and removing a certain part of the small intestine and connecting it to the stomach. Gastric Bypass patients eat less food due to the shrinkage of the stomach and take in fewer calories due to the transition from the small stomach to the small intestine. Therefore, weight loss in obesity problems is achieved by two different mechanisms.

In Gastric Bypass surgery, weight loss begins immediately after surgery. The most important feature of this surgery is that "type 2 diabetes" in overweight patients is largely cured, regardless of weight loss. The result is not only weight loss, but also a significant reduction or elimination of concomitant diseases.

Since all Obesity and Metabolic Surgery operations are performed with closed method, the recovery process of the patients is much faster.
