Bariatric Surgery Turkey

Bariatric Surgery Turkey-Revision surgery is an operation performed if the patient cannot lose weight or continues to gain weight after the previous bariatric surgery process. Two of the most famous names in bariatric surgery in Istanbul, Assoc. Dr. Hasan Abuoğlu and Assoc. Dr. Mehmet Kamil Yıldız, provide a reliable and comfortable service to patients in Istanbul Marmara Surgery in revision surgery.

As a result of this operation, which lasts about 1.5 hours, a great decrease in the appetite of the patients is observed.

Who can have Revision surgery?

In order to have Revision surgery, patients must be able to fulfill certain conditions. The first condition is that the BMI value should be 35 and above. Surgery, which is suitable for those aged 18-65, is subject to special permission and physician decision for people who are not in this age range.

Revision surgery is primarily a treatment for morbid obesity. Many diseases that accompany morbid obesity, including type 2 diabetes, benefit greatly from this surgical treatment. However, the success of bypass group surgeries is higher in cases where the main target is not obesity but type 2 diabetes.

In addition, Revision surgery can be used as a transition surgery in patients with severe obesity. Revision surgery can be used to prepare severely obese patients for bypass group surgeries.

How Much Weight Is Losed After Revision surgery?

 

Depending on the diet and exercise regimen after the surgery, people can lose 80% of their weight. Postoperative supplemental support is of great importance and the person should be followed regularly. Gastric bypass surgery can be performed if patients under the follow-up of psychologists and dietitians start to gain weight again. The 15% post-operative weight gain rate is an indication of the critical importance of the patient’s follow-up.

What is the Normalization Process After Revision surgery?

Revision surgery is generally a painless operation. Although there is a feeling of tension and pressure at first, this situation can be overcome with painkillers as there is no cut in the abdomen. Patients can return to their routine life in about 1 week, provided that they follow the nutrition and exercise rules.

What Kind of Nutrition Plan Should Be Followed After Revision surgery?

After Revision surgery is finished, a new period begins for the patient. If the necessary rules are not followed, the patient can return to his old self very quickly. We can list these rules as follows:

– Carbonated drinks are prohibited for life.

– Liquid foods should be consumed for the first 10-14 days after Revision surgery.

– Liquid and solid foods should not be consumed together.

– Vegetables, fruits and nuts should always be present in the diet.

– A protein-based diet should be applied, including foods such as chicken, fish, eggs, cheese, and yogurt.

– After the surgery, the patient should supplement with B12 via sublingual pill or injection.

Patients should not be complacent after the surgery and should follow the nutrition program regularly under the control of a Dietitian.
