Since bariatric surgery is not a plastic surgery but a surgical treatment, choosing the right and appropriate case is extremely important.
Are you unable to get rid of your excess weight despite all the diet and exercise you do? Do you have a body mass index of 40 or above or a body mass index of 35 or above and at the same time have diseases such as diabetes and hypertension caused by excess weight? Whether you are a suitable candidate for bariatric surgery can only be determined by evaluating such criteria and your general health status.
The main bariatric surgery methods selected individually for individuals with overweight problems are as follows:
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: A smaller stomach is created by removing most of the stomach.
- Gastric Bypass (Gastric Bypass): Part of the stomach is bypassed to establish a connection with the small intestine.
- Adjustable Gastric Banding (Gastric Banding): A silicone band is applied to the upper part of the stomach.
- Duodenal Switch: The stomach is reduced in size and directed to the small intestine.
