Obesity causes many diseases
If you are 45 kilos above your ideal body weight, you are in the morbid obesity risk group. General Surgery Specialist Assoc. Dr. Kamil Gülpınar “Those who are over 45 kilos are advised to seek expert support if they cannot manage to get rid of their excess weight despite dieting and exercising many times.”
Morbital obesity restricts even the simplest movements of people and causes various medical disorders. It is a disease that carries serious risks. Excess weight can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, reflux disease, arthritis and various heart diseases. However, it should not be forgotten that not every excess weight is considered morbid obesity. The diagnosis of morbid obesity is determined both by body mass index calculation and by performing various medical tests. As a result of these tests, if the person's body mass index is 45 kilos above the required weight, obesity can be diagnosed. Then, checks are started to detect other medical disorders caused by obesity in the person. In short, if the person's body weight is over 100 kilos, it would be beneficial not to see a specialist for obesity checks.
Weight should be lost with non-surgical techniques first
“Excessive In order to lose weight, you should first get support from a dietitian and exercise specialist who is an expert in the field. If weight loss is not successful despite the support received from specialists, or if it is lost in very small amounts and regained at the first opportunity, surgical techniques should be used.
Treatment of excess weight with surgical techniques
“In bariatric surgery and morbid obesity surgery, stomach volume is generally reduced or absorption is reduced. Laparoscopic or robotic surgical techniques are used in obesity surgery. The image is projected on a large screen through micro-imaging instruments inserted through an incision of one or two stitches. No pain or ache is felt during the operation. In this way, the volume of the stomach is reduced, the part of ghrelin that activates hormones to reduce the feeling of hunger is removed, and the absorption of the stomach is reduced. With surgical techniques, 85% of the stomach volume is removed by surgical division. During this operation, the stomach nerves and stomach valve are not touched, meaning the stomach continues to function normally.”
Assoc. Dr. Kamil Gülpınar “The healing process is shortened after surgery performed with the laparoscopic surgical technique, that is, the closed technique. After the surgery, the patient returns to his normal life more quickly. Before sleeve gastrectomy surgery, detailed health checks of the patient are performed. Endoscopy, ultrasonography, blood tests and metabolic evaluation tests are performed. The patient is then taken into surgery and operated on using robotic imaging techniques. After the operation, weight loss continues regularly for approximately 2 years. The patient can be helped to lose weight by 50% and 80%. In the treatment of morbid obesity, bariatric surgery is the most effective method for long-term weight loss in patients who are overweight but cannot lose weight. Remember, with obesity treatment, the patient's diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol and sleep apnea are also improved at the same rate.”
