For a Healthy Life
Obesity Surgery
Dr. Sword provides lasting and effective solutions in the fight against obesity. Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective methods for achieving weight control and adopting a healthy lifestyle. Our expert team helps you reach your ideal weight through procedures such as gastric sleeve surgery, stomach reduction, and other bariatric surgeries. Our goal is not only to help you lose weight but also to improve your quality of life, ensuring long-term health and well-being.
• Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the most commonly used surgical methods in the fight against obesity. At Dr. Sword, this procedure involves removing a large portion of the stomach, reducing its size, and allowing patients to feel full with less food. Gastric sleeve surgery is an effective method for rapid and lasting weight loss.
• Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass is a bariatric surgery method that accelerates weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach and rerouting the intestines. Dr. Sword’s expert team performs this procedure to both reduce stomach capacity and decrease nutrient absorption, helping patients achieve weight loss effectively.
• Gastric Balloon
The gastric balloon is a non-surgical obesity treatment. Dr. Sword uses an inflatable balloon placed inside the stomach to reduce its capacity, helping patients feel full with less food. This method offers a weight loss solution without the need for surgery.
• Duodenal Switch
Duodenal switch is a combined bariatric surgery method that involves reducing the size of the stomach and rerouting the intestines. At Dr. Sword, this procedure is performed to decrease stomach capacity and reduce nutrient absorption, providing effective and lasting weight loss.
• Mini Gastric Bypass
Mini gastric bypass is a bariatric surgery method that facilitates weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach and rerouting the intestines. At Dr. Sword, this less invasive technique helps you achieve long-term weight control and reach your healthy living goals.
• Revision Surgeries
Dr. Sword offers revision surgeries for patients who have previously undergone bariatric surgery but did not achieve the desired results. Revision surgeries are corrective procedures performed in cases where previous operations have been unsuccessful.
• Post-Bariatric Surgery Follow-Up and Support
After obesity surgery, we provide comprehensive follow-up and support services at Dr. Sword. With the assistance of our dietitians and specialist doctors, we guide you every step of the way to maintain a healthy lifestyle and achieve long-term weight control.
Frequently Asked Questions About Obesity Surgery
Obesity surgery is suitable for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) over 40 or those with a BMI over 35 who have obesity-related health problems (such as diabetes, hypertension, etc.). It may also be an option for people who have not been able to lose weight through other methods like diet and exercise, and whose health condition is suitable for surgical intervention.
Weight loss varies depending on the individual, the surgical method, and lifestyle. Typically, the most rapid weight loss occurs within the first 6-12 months after surgery. During this period, weight loss continues with regular diet and exercise.
In the first few weeks after obesity surgery, you may need to consume liquid and soft foods. Later on, it is recommended to avoid high-fat, sugary, and carbohydrate-rich foods. Your specialist dietitian will provide you with a personalized diet plan.
Like any surgical procedure, obesity surgery carries certain risks. In addition to risks such as infection, bleeding, and embolism, long-term issues like nutrient deficiencies, stomach expansion, or the cessation of weight loss may occur. At Dr. Sword, our expert team works diligently to minimize these risks.
Obesity surgery is an effective method for achieving long-term weight loss. However, it is important to follow a regular diet and exercise program after surgery to maintain the weight loss. Without making lifestyle changes, surgery alone may not provide a permanent solution.
