The most common psychological problems in the postoperative period
Depression and anxiety are the most common psychological problems of patients after sleeve gastrectomy surgery. These may be caused by factors such as changes in lifestyle, physical transformations and restrictions in eating habits after surgery. Patients may have difficulty coping with rapid changes in their bodies and may have to struggle with negative emotions. These emotions can affect a person's quality of life and negatively impact their daily activities.
It can express itself with symptoms such as depression and anxiety, sleeping problems, weakness, hopelessness and excessive anxiety. After sleeve gastrectomy surgery, patients may have difficulty adjusting to the changes in their bodies along with rapid weight loss. This can lead to increased negative thoughts about their bodies and low self-esteem. Patients may experience negative feelings about their bodies and have difficulty accepting themselves. These feelings can lead to difficulty with social interactions and can cause to social isolation. To deal with body image problems, patients may be offered cognitive behavioral therapies such as positive thinking techniques and acceptance and commitment therapy. There may be major changes in patients' eating habits after sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Dietary requirements and eating restrictions after surgery can create stress and anxiety in some patients. Learning and implementing new eating habits can be time-consuming and challenging for patients. These changes can trigger emotional eating and other types of eating disorders for some patients. Weight loss and physical changes experienced after sleeve gastrectomy surgery may cause social isolation and social anxiety for some patients. These changes can lead patients to experience negative feelings about their physical appearance and cause them to avoid social interactions. Postoperative weight loss can affect patients' social relationships and make them feel isolated in society. After sleeve gastrectomy surgery, some patients may have difficulty controlling their eating habits and may face addictions such as emotional eating. Emotional eating is the act of overeating to cope with emotional states such as stress, sadness, or anxiety, and can negatively impact the weight loss process after surgery. Such eating habits can prevent patients from achieving their weight loss goals and negatively impact physical health outcomes. Physical and emotional changes during the post-surgical weight loss process can affect how patients see themselves and the people around them. Some patients may have difficulty adjusting to physical changes after surgery, which may cause a feeling of uncertainty in their personal identity, sense of self, and social roles. Adjusting to health regulations and lifestyle changes after sleeve gastrectomy surgery can cause stress and anxiety in some patients. These changes may include significant lifestyle changes, such as adopting new eating habits, creating an exercise routine, and changing eating habits. This process can be challenging for some patients and adaptation may take a long time. Difficulties adjusting to treatment and outcomes can negatively impact patients' motivation and mental health. Psychological support and counseling after surgery can help patients understand and cope with their emotional needs. Psychotherapy can be an effective way to deal with depression, anxiety, and other emotional problems. It is important to get help from a dietitian to deal with eating disorders such as emotional eating. It can also be helpful to join support groups to connect with others going through similar experiences and support each other. It is also important to adopt regular exercise and healthy eating habits, which can positively affect physical health outcomes. All these factors can help patients cope with psychological problems after surgery and develop a healthy lifestyle.
How long does gastric sleeve last?
How long does gastric sleeve surgery take? Compared to other weight loss surgery procedures, a sleeve gastrectomy is a relatively short and simple operation. It takes about 60 to 90 minutes. Your surgeon may still want you to stay in the hospital for one to two days afterward.
How long does gastric sleeve take to recover?
You will need to rest for at least 2-3 weeks after your sleeve gastrectomy. Your body needs time to heal and you'll be on a very restricted diet during this time. Make sure that you arrange plenty of time off work and enlist help from friends and family.
How much weight do you have to be to get gastric sleeve?
Have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or higher, or have a BMI between 30 and 35 and an obesity-related condition, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or severe sleep apnea. Weigh less than 450 pounds, the maximum weight that hospital radiology equipment can accommodate.
Had hair transplant with Gozde hospital. Everything was in order. The hospital and the hotel were way above average. Good value for the price. Recommended.

Flew from Glasgow to Izmir for the operation. They picked me up from the airport. Immediately headed to the hotel to spend the night and rest before the operation very next morning. When I first stepped in to the hospital, I instantly realised that I made the right choice. The hospital was so perfect that I have never been in a hospital like that before.
Had my breast augmentation surgery just a week ago, almost completely healed and my breasts are just amazing. I can't stop looking at them in the mirror.
I would like to thank to my coordinator, lovely nurses, and the surgeon.
5 star experience from start to finish

After my terrible experince in Dominican republic, I was bit afraid and reluctant having another surgery abroad. Months of research, planning and long conversations with my surgeon, finally felt confident with Gozde hospitals.
My main concern was communication. Due to lack of communcation my nose shape was not like I requested at all. Left with a huge bump at the tip of my nose.
Thankfully I was able to have video call consultations on Zoom with my surgeon at Gozde hospital. He eased all the hesitation and I felt like we are on the same page. I only had one chance with this surgery because the secondary surgeries are harder than the first one.
It has been just 3 weeks for now but I love the shape of my nose, it is good to be feel confident again after all those years

Having a big family was always my dream and I can say that I fulfilled that dream. But after my 4th child, my body was not representing my age at all. Even though I am in my 40's my tummy and breasts were sagging like I am in my 60's. The frustration was great and I was afraid of mirrors. Never went to swimming with my children. I was insecure about my appearance and decided to change that.
Kusadasi is our favourite spot for holiday every year, but this year I contacted Gozde hospitals for my surgery. They even arranged a transfer from Kusadasi to Izmir for my operation. The surgery took around 3 hours but after that everything was perfect.
I am not ashamed of wearing dresses or going to the beach with my children anymore. Started enjoying my life again. Thank you for everything! Especially the medical team and my surgeon.

Starting from my 20's, my hair has been receding. Used many products, shampoos, lotions, essential oils but none of them has stopped the receding. I almost gave up and ready to embrace the truth that I am a bald man.
One day I stumbled upon Gozde hospital on Whatclinic. I left an inquiry but my expectations were not great at all. I reluctantly reply them, thinking it will not work as well.
Then a magical moment happened, I went through their before and after photos, could not believe my eyes. I have arranged my operation for the following week.
Now, I am at 4th month. Growing slow but I can see the follicules I have not seen for years. I can't wait to reach the final results!

I had my tummy tuck surgery at Gozde Hospital around a month ago. I am completely healed and in perfect shape. I had been working out for months to get rid of my stubborn belly fat with excess skin but no success. I wish I could have contacted them earlier.
I had my doubts about travelling Turkey for a surgery, but all my hesitation has gone after contacting Gozde International. The hospital is one of the best I have ever seen. Top notch, state of the art. Highly recommended! Xo
Angie Snowden
Had my face and necklift operation with Gozde International hospitals recently. Everything went smootly. I am still in healing process but I feel a lot better. I enjoying spending time looking myself in the mirrors. It was a bit dissappointing to see yourself aging slowly everyday. I always thought that I will not be able to fight with that. Eventually time will take over everything but I'd say I have my 15 years back.
Margaret Jones
Great experience from start to finish. Clean and nice hotel, perfect hospital. Actually the best part is the hospital experience. Everyone speaks English, also very close to the city center just in case of anything. Atms, restaurants, pharmacies nearby. My expectations were exceeded. Definetely recommended.
Wayne Baxter
I can’t begin to explain how good the whole experience was. The service, communication was excellent. I managed to book my surgery a week after my first call. Just imagine having an operation one week after your first call in UK. Waiting list goes on and on. Everything was planned surprisingly fast.
Packed my bags and got here. Picked up from the airport with a VIP car, I felt like I was the queen of England. The hotel was cozy and clean. Room service was excellent. The hospital is the main reason I choose Gozde, and I am glad that I did. Never have I seen such perfect hospital in my life. The staff, equipment, the hospital rooms...Safe to say that those hospital rooms are far better than many 5* hotel rooms. I wish I could have taken few photos to add to my review. I guess it can be fine on their website.
My overall experience was defintely perfect, 5-stars, 10 out of 10. I have already recommended this hospital to everyone I know
