What is A Gastric Bypass?

A gastric bypass is a type of weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery) that alters the digestive system to help people lose weight by restricting food intake and changing how nutrients are absorbed. During the procedure, a small pouch is created at the top of the stomach, which is then connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large portion of the stomach and part of the intestines.

​

This reduces the amount of food you can eat and limits calorie and nutrient absorption, leading to significant weight loss. Gastric bypass is often recommended for individuals who are severely obese and have not been able to lose weight through diet, exercise, or other weight-loss treatments. It can also help improve obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Gastric Bypass?

A good candidate for gastric bypass is someone who:

​

✔ Has a BMI of 40 or higher: Individuals with severe obesity may benefit from gastric bypass surgery.
✔ Has a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions: Conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or heart disease may qualify a person for the procedure.
✔ Has tried other weight-loss methods without success: Candidates should have attempted to lose weight through diet, exercise, or medication without long-term results.
✔ Is in good overall health for surgery: While obese, candidates should be healthy enough to undergo surgery and recover.
✔ Is committed to long-term lifestyle changes: Success after gastric bypass requires a commitment to a healthy diet, regular exercise, and medical follow-up.
✔ Does not have untreated psychological disorders: Candidates should be mentally prepared for the changes and responsibilities required after surgery.

A consultation with a qualified surgeon is essential to determine if gastric bypass is the right option for weight loss and health improvement.

Targeting Stubborn Belly Fat

Gastric bypass not only reduces overall body weight but can also specifically target belly fat, which is often resistant to other forms of weight loss. This can significantly improve your body’s shape and appearance.

Concerns About Scars

While gastric bypass does involve incisions, our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scarring. The incisions are typically small and placed in areas that heal well, and over time, any scarring will fade, leaving minimal visible marks.

What are the Expected Outcomes of Gastric Bypass?

The expected outcomes of gastric bypass surgery are both physical and health-related, providing significant benefits for individuals struggling with obesity. Here are some key outcomes:

​

✔ Most patients lose 60-80% of excess body weight within 12-18 months.
✔ Gastric bypass can improve or resolve conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
✔ Enhanced quality of life with increased energy, mobility, and self-confidence.
✔ Long-term weight maintenance through reduced stomach size and altered nutrient absorption.
✔ Improved mental health, including reduced anxiety and depression, as a result of weight loss and lifestyle changes.

​

These outcomes, combined with healthy lifestyle changes, can provide lasting results, improving both your physical health and mental well-being.

How Is Gastric Bypass Surgery Done?

At Prime Health Turkey, we prioritize your health and comfort. We’re committed to delivering the results you desire while supporting and guiding you from start to finish.

Anesthesia

The procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. Depending on your needs, this can be general anesthesia, where you're fully asleep, or intravenous sedation, which keeps you relaxed but semi-conscious.

Creation of the Stomach Pouch

The surgeon begins by dividing the stomach into two sections, creating a small upper pouch about the size of an egg. This pouch will serve as the functional stomach, significantly reducing the amount of food the patient can consume.

Surgical Scissors

Rerouting the Small Intestine

Next, the surgeon divides the small intestine and connects the lower section to the newly formed stomach pouch. This rerouting bypasses a large portion of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine, reducing the absorption of calories and nutrients to promote effective weight loss.

Minimally Invasive Approach

The procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, using several small incisions rather than a single large one. A laparoscope, a small camera, is inserted through one incision to guide the surgeon, allowing for a more precise and minimally invasive surgery.

Surgery

Closing and Recovery

Once the rerouting is complete, the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical staples. Patients usually stay in the hospital for a few days post-surgery to monitor recovery. They will gradually transition from liquids to soft foods and, eventually, a normal diet over the following weeks. Full recovery typically occurs within several weeks, with regular follow-up appointments to ensure long-term success.

What to Do and What Not to Do Before Gastric Bypass Surgery

What You Should Do:

✔ Follow a Pre-Surgery Diet: Your surgeon may recommend a specific diet, typically a low-calorie, high-protein diet, to shrink your liver and make the surgery safer.
✔ Attend All Pre-Surgery Appointments: Be sure to complete any required medical evaluations, including blood tests, and consultations with specialists.
✔ Stay Active: Engage in light physical activity like walking to improve overall health and support your recovery.
✔ Take Prescribed Medications: Continue taking any medications your surgeon approves, including those for chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
✔ Prepare Your Home for Recovery: Stock up on post-surgery food options and arrange for help with household tasks during your initial recovery period.

​

What You Should Not Do:

✘ Do Not Smoke or Drink Alcohol: Quit smoking at least 4 weeks before surgery and avoid alcohol to improve healing and reduce the risk of complications.
✘ Do Not Take Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: Stop taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen 2 weeks before surgery, as they can increase bleeding risk.
✘ Avoid Herbal Supplements: Stop taking herbal remedies and supplements unless specifically approved by your surgeon, as they can interfere with anesthesia and healing.
✘ Do Not Eat or Drink Before Surgery: Follow your surgeon's fasting instructions, usually no food or drink for 8-12 hours before the procedure to avoid complications with anesthesia.
✘ Avoid New or Unapproved Medications: Only take medications your surgeon has approved in the weeks leading up to surgery.

What to Do After Gastric Bypass Surgery

Post-surgery care is crucial to ensure a smooth recovery and long-term success. Here’s what to do after your gastric bypass surgery:

​

✔ Follow a liquid-to-solid diet as directed by your surgeon, starting with clear liquids and gradually transitioning to solid foods.
✔ Stay hydrated by sipping water slowly throughout the day.
✔ Take prescribed medications and supplements to manage pain and prevent nutrient deficiencies.
✔ Begin light walking soon after surgery to promote healing and prevent blood clots.
✔ Attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure proper recovery.
✔ Report unusual symptoms like severe pain, fever, or nausea to your doctor immediately.
✔ Avoid smoking and alcohol to support healing and reduce the risk of complications.
✔ Eat small, frequent meals to prevent discomfort and promote healthy digestion.
✔ Stick to your nutritional plan, ensuring you get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals for long-term success.

  • How long do gastric band surgery results last?
    Gastric band surgery results can last long-term if patients commit to necessary lifestyle changes. Typically, patients lose 40-60% of excess body weight within the first two years. Sustained success depends on adherence to diet and exercise, regular follow-up appointments for band adjustments, and ongoing medical support. While complications such as band slippage or erosion can occur, proper maintenance and monitoring can help ensure lasting weight loss and health benefits.
  • Is the procedure painful?
    Gastric band surgery is generally associated with manageable pain, particularly in the initial recovery period. During the procedure, patients are under general anesthesia and feel no pain. Post-surgery, discomfort around the incision sites and abdomen is common but typically decreases within the first week or two. Pain can be effectively managed with prescribed medications. Long-term discomfort is rare but can occur if band adjustments are needed.
  • Can I travel immediately after the procedure?
    It is advisable to rest for a few days before traveling, but many patients can travel shortly after the procedure.
  • What if there are complications?
    At Prime Health Turkey, we ensure top-notch post-operative care to handle any complications from gastric band surgery. Our partnered clinics provide 24/7 medical support, regular follow-up appointments, emergency care, and reversal options if needed. You also receive ongoing support from nutritionists and psychologists.
  • What language do doctors and staff speak?
    At Prime Health Turkey, most doctors and staff speak fluent English, ensuring clear communication throughout your treatment. Additionally, we provide each patient with a personal assistant and a translator to guide you through every step of your journey, making sure you fully understand the process and feel comfortable during your stay. No matter your language, you’ll be supported from start to finish.
  • Will I experience scarring from the surgery?
    Because gastric band surgery is performed laparoscopically, it involves small incisions, which result in minimal scarring. Any scars are usually small and fade over time.
  • What kind of support will I have during my stay in Turkey?
    At Prime Health Turkey, you will receive 24/7 support, including airport transfers, accommodation in luxury hotels, and assistance throughout your recovery process. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your stay is comfortable and stress-free.

  • How do I adjust to the diet after gastric band surgery?
    Your diet will progress gradually from liquids to soft foods, and then to solid foods over several weeks. Prime Health Turkey provides detailed dietary guidance to ensure you get proper nutrition while adapting to your smaller stomach capacity.
  • How soon can I return to work after the surgery?
    Most patients can return to non-strenuous work within 1-2 weeks after surgery, but it depends on your individual recovery. Your surgeon will provide personalized advice on when you can resume normal activities.

    Yes, one of the major benefits of gastric band surgery is that it is adjustable. The band can be tightened or loosened by adding or removing saline through a small port placed under the skin. Adjustments are typically done at follow-up appointments.

    Most patients lose 40-50% of their excess body weight within 1-2 years of gastric band surgery. The amount of weight loss varies based on lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise.
