A gastric bypass is one of the most popular types of bariatric surgery in Turkey that helps individuals lose a substantial amount of weight. The surgery works in two stages. First, the size of the stomach is reduced by creating a small stomach pouch with surgical staples or a gastric band. This reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold, making it easier for the patient to feel full after eating less.

In addition to this, surgeons also create a bypass unto the newly created stomach pouch which reroutes food past most of the small intestine so a smaller amount will reach absorption sites. This type of bariatric surgery can reduce how many calories and nutrients are absorbed from food resulting in further weight loss. Clients also work with our nutritionists and dietary specialists to make nutrition plans to help them achieve a healthy weight.
