Bariatric Surgery: Live Healthier, Live Freely

It can be applied to patients with obesity disease, who can receive anesthesia, who can pursuit the follow-up recommendations after surgery, and who do not have an incurable mental illness. This application must comply with the criteria of the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health. The body mass index should be below 25. Between 25-30 is the degree of obesity. As soon as the body mass index exceeds 30, obesity becomes a disease. Therefore, the person is now an obesity patient. If the body mass index is between 30-35, only Type 2 diabetes is suitable for surgery. When 35 is passed, this situation turns into a surgical disease. However, to perform with surgery, it must be a disease caused by obesity and can be corrected by surgery (infertility, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, asthma, diabetes, snoring, an abdominal circumference greater than 90 cm, joint problems, etc.). If the body mass index is 40 and above, the accompanying disease is not sought. Surgery alone is an indication. This period means morbid obesity or third degree obesity.

For Bariatric Surgery, there must be a surgical and medical infrastructure that will meet all the requirements every time. At Memorial Health Group, this infrastructure can be accessed in maximum comfort and at all wage levels, as approved by international rating agencies. All of the surgeons in these canters and the doctors of bariatric diseases they work with have expertise in their fields and have been carefully selected. Only permanent and well-established institutions can follow patients for a minimum of 2 years after surgery. The Memorial can follow the patients in its centers spread all over the country.

The preparation period of bariatric surgery is a period spent choosing the right surgical method according to the patient, disease, and personality. Choosing the right surgery is a decision that must be made jointly by a group of experts. Implementing the given decision in the best way is possible thanks to the trained surgeons. These surgeons must know how to use the right devices and the right technology, such as robots. Correct follow-up of the patient for at least 2 years after surgery crowns this preparation and operation period. In addition to these conditions, it is extremely unlikely that the patient will regain the lost weight thanks to the correct compliance with the follow-ups.

If the above criteria are fulfilled, the success of close to 99%.
