A Comprehensive Guide for Health Tourism

Welcome to our specialized Obesity surgery program, where we offer state-of-the-art weight loss surgery in a world-class medical setting. Whether you’re struggling with obesity or seeking a healthier, more active lifestyle, our team is committed to helping you achieve your weight loss goals through personalized care and advanced surgical techniques.

What is Obesity Surgery?

Obesity surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is a proven and effective solution for individuals struggling with obesity and weight-related health issues. It involves surgical procedures designed to help you lose weight by making changes to your digestive system. For patients who have not been successful with other weight loss methods, Obesity surgery offers a long-term solution to achieve significant weight loss and improve overall health.

Indications for Obesity Surgery

Obesity surgery is typically considered for individuals who meet specific clinical criteria to address severe obesity and its associated health complications. Below are the key indications for Obesity surgery:

1. Body Mass Index (BMI) Criteria

• BMI ≥ 40 kg/m² (Severe or morbid obesity)

• BMI 35–39.9 kg/m² with one or more significant obesity-related comorbidities, such as:

  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • Hypertension
  • Dyslipidemia
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
  • Severe osteoarthritis or debilitating joint disease
  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

2. Inability to Achieve Weight Loss Through Non-Surgical Methods

• Failure to lose or sustain weight loss despite supervised lifestyle interventions, including dietary modifications, physical activity, and pharmacotherapy.

Types of Obesity Surgery

We offer a range of Obesity surgery options, each tailored to meet the specific needs of our patients:

1. Sleeve Gastrectomy Involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving a tube-like structure that limits food intake. This surgery significantly reduces hunger hormones and encourages weight loss.
2. Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) A highly effective surgery where a small pouch is created from the stomach and connected directly to the small intestine. This reduces the amount of food you can eat and limits calorie absorption.

Metabolic surgery, also known as Obesity surgery when performed for weight loss, refers to surgical interventions aimed at improving metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. These procedures help to modify the body’s hormonal and metabolic responses to food, leading to significant improvements in both weight and related comorbidities.

Robotic-Assisted Obesity Surgery

Our center offers robotic-assisted surgery for Obesity procedures, utilizing the latest in minimally invasive technology. This advanced technique offers numerous benefits over traditional methods:

• Precision and Accuracy: Robotic arms are controlled by skilled surgeons, allowing for greater precision in complex procedures.
• Minimized Incisions: Robotic surgery uses small incisions, which means less scarring, reduced risk of infection, and faster recovery times.
• Enhanced Visualization: Surgeons have a high-definition, 3D view of the surgical area, improving accuracy and decision-making during surgery.
• Faster Recovery: With less trauma to the body, patients typically experience shorter hospital stays and quicker return to normal activities.

Pre-Operative Consultation

Before undergoing Obesity surgery, we conduct a comprehensive pre-operative assessment to ensure that you are fully prepared for the procedure. This assessment includes:

1. Endocrinology Evaluation A consultation with an endocrinologist to assess your metabolic health, hormone levels, and any existing endocrine disorders that may impact the success of your surgery. This ensures that conditions like thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances are properly managed before surgery.
2. Psychologic Assessment A psychologic evaluation is conducted to assess your mental and emotional readiness for Obesity surgery. This includes understanding your relationship with food, addressing any underlying psychological conditions such as depression or anxiety, and ensuring you are prepared for the lifestyle changes that follow surgery.
3. Nutritional Assessment A consultation with our dietitian is essential to establish your nutritional needs before and after surgery. We provide guidance on pre-operative dietary adjustments and develop a post-surgery nutrition plan that promotes healthy weight loss and long-term maintenance. Proper nutrition is key to ensuring successful recovery and optimal outcomes.

These evaluations are essential in ensuring that you are physically and mentally prepared for the surgery and the lifestyle changes that follow. Our team will guide you through this process and provide the support you need every step of the way.

• Patients routinely undergo endoscopy and hepatobiliary ultrasonography during the preoperative period.

• Patients who travel to our country for treatment are admitted to the hospital on the day of scheduled surgery.

• On the first postoperative day, a contrast study is performed, and if findings are normal, a liquid diet is initiated. Patients are typically discharged on the second postoperative day.

• Following discharge, patients stay an additional 4 days at a hotel arranged by our health tourism agency. After a follow-up consultation, patients with no complications are cleared to return to their home countries by air. Patients will be prescribed for subcutaneous low molecular heparin for 20 days and long-term supplements including vitamins.

• Obesity procedures are performed using robotic-assisted or laparoscopic techniques, enabling patients to mobilize and resume physical activities within a remarkably short time frame, often on the same day.

Our commitment to your health extends beyond the surgery itself. Post-surgical care is essential for ensuring the success of your weight loss journey and long-term health.
