Gastric Bypass

What is Gastric Bypass?


Gastric bypass is a bariatric surgical method that reduces stomach size and bypasses part of the intestines to decrease calorie absorption. During this procedure, the stomach is made into a smaller pouch, which is then connected to a section of the small intestine. This allows patients to feel full with smaller meals and absorb fewer calories.

Gastric bypass is a rapid and effective weight-loss method. It is typically recommended for individuals with a BMI over 40 or those with a BMI over 35 and obesity-related health issues. Post-surgery, dietary adjustments and lifestyle changes are crucial for long-term success.

Gastric Sleeve surgery Gözde international hospital Izmir.

I am 12 days post op from having had gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey. My experience was positive overall and I received great care while in Izmir. My coordinator Devrim has been amazing from the beginning of the process and I’ve been able to message him at anytime for information and reassurance. I am genuinely grateful to my surgeon and all the staff at Gözde and I am looking to the future as a healthier and happier skinnier version of myself!

Went to Baypark

Went to Baypark, Istanbul 3 weeks ago and I can’t fault it. All the staff and the surgeon were spot on. The care I received was amazing and the surgeon came and checked on me every day. From start to finish any questions I had were answered by Ata or Selin. Would definitely recommend

My experience

I had my nose a year ago in Izmir by the lovely and very talented Dr. Damla Nihan Özdemir, the hospital was state of the art, it was run smoothly and I felt in safe hands. You also get a chaperone who helps explain things and sorts out transportation etc, mine was Batuhan Yetki who was lovely.
I would highly recommend this hospital and surgeon to others.

I had a very good experience using Gözde. I chose Özel Sağlık, which was a lovely hospital, spotless, and the staff there are amazing. My doctor was Dr. Ergin Arslan, whom I can't recommend enough. Peril was my coordinator and was always, and still is, on hand to help each time I message. I would definitely recommend.
