The main goal of obesity surgery is to manage weight control and, as a result, prevent or treat chronic diseases that arise from excess weight.
- Reduction in Chronic Diseases
Conditions like Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and joint problems are often caused by excessive weight.
• Weight loss after surgery can lead to the elimination or reduction in the need for medication for these diseases.
• Especially for diabetes and hypertension patients, significant improvement can be observed within 3 months after the surgery. - Hormonal Balance and Metabolic Advantage
Surgeries like sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass positively affect hormones, regulating appetite and blood sugar levels.
• For patients who have not succeeded with diet and exercise, surgery offers a permanent solution. - Reduction in Medication Use
After surgery, many patients can stop using medications for chronic conditions under the supervision of their doctor.
• This leads to a significant improvement in quality of life. - Technical and Comfort Advantages
