Got it done 8 months ago and so far I’m down 110 pounds. Still losing weight but after a point it gets harder to lose more fat. I’m watching what I eat because I can eat whatever I want again. I don’t want to gain weight no more! It is not only a surgery, effects should last forever in your lifestyle.
Özgün Akgül is the best general surgeon I have ever met. I had surgery after meeting him for a long time. It has a wonderful clinic and staff in Izmir. I was amazed by her patience. I am absolutely satisfied.
If you do not qualify for sleeve gastrectomy, there are non-surgical weight loss options such ad gastric balloon and gastic botox. These are both performed with endoscopy and they help you to eat less food. Still they do not make you burn fat, these treatments take 6 months and during this time you should follow a special protein-rich nutrition program in order to lose weight in a healthy way. Nutritionist guide is included in the treatment.

Hello, if you do not have type 2 diabetes you do not need an gastric bypass surgery and instead, we recommend sleeve gastrectomy.

Hello, after sleeve gastrectomy we expect achieving healthy weight within 2 years. After losing some weight it is normal to stop losing fat for a while and that time we recommend to do more exercise. For fat burning you should follow a healthy diet and exercise daily, simple math: you should burn more than you should take. If sleeve gastrectomy is not successful we do mini gastric bypass but before that a detailed blood tests and body check up is required.
