Gastric Bypass in Turkey
Redirecting Your Path to a Healthier Life with Gastric Bypass
What is Gastric Bypass?
Gastric bypass is a surgical procedure used to treat obesity. This procedure aims to shrink the stomach and shorten the intestine to reduce obesity-related health problems and lose weight. It is applied to people with overweight problems. During the gastric bypass procedure, the stomach is divided so that it has a smaller volume. Thus, the patient eats less food than they normally eat. The small stomach section is formed as a tube at the end of the upper part of the stomach and allows nutrients to pass into this section. The remaining large stomach section is disconnected from the intestines without being used.
Part of the intestine is joined to a new intestinal connection at the end of the small stomach tube. This prevents partial absorption of nutrients in the intestines, promoting weight loss. The rest of the intestine does not join the new connection, separating from the cut area, and therefore some of the food is eliminated from the intestinal tract. Before this surgery, you will need to have a detailed discussion with your doctor and dietitian. You can ask all the questions you are curious about.

Before Gastric Bypass Surgery
For gastric bypass surgery, you need to consult with a bariatric surgeon. Your doctor will assess your weight loss goals, your health condition, and whether you can have surgery. He or she will also inform you about the risks and benefits of surgery and answer your questions. A series of health assessments will be done before surgery. Tests such as blood and urine tests, ECG, endoscopy, and ultrasound may be requested. Before surgery, your doctor and dietitian will recommend a diet plan and lifestyle changes. This will help you prepare for the weight loss process and ensure a more successful recovery after surgery. Usually, you may be asked to follow a low-calorie diet and exercise program.
After Gastric Bypass Surgery
After gastric bypass surgery, there are some important points to consider maintaining your health and have a successful recovery. Diet is important after surgery. You should strictly follow the diet plan recommended to you by your doctor or dietitian. It is important to get a balanced intake of protein, fiber, and other nutrients.
It is important to pay attention to portion control after surgery. It is important to eat slowly and leave appropriate intervals between meals to reduce the risk of overeating. You need to drink enough fluids. However, it may be necessary to limit drinking to 30 minutes before and after meals. You should avoid carbonated and sugary drinks. As nutrient absorption changes after gastric bypass surgery, the risk of vitamin and mineral deficiencies may increase. It is important to take multivitamins and mineral supplements recommended by your doctor regularly. This ensures that your body gets the necessary nutrients.
It is important to start physical activity slowly after surgery. Your doctor will tell you which activities are appropriate and when you can start. Walking, light exercise, or a suitable sports program can support your weight loss and improve your health after surgery. After surgery, you should go for regular check-ups with your doctor. Your doctor will assess your health status, review your nutrition plan and monitor your weight loss in the following months.
