As with all treatment methods, the chance of success in the surgical treatment of obesity is not 100%. The majority of patients benefit significantly from treatment
. One of the most important factors for the chance of success in treatment
is the cooperation of the patient. Surgeries for obesity are not magic procedures
. With these surgeries, patients are given the chance to get down to their ideal
weight only once. Almost all patients lose significant weight in the first 2 years.
During this two-year period, patients must adopt appropriate eating habits
and accept a healthy lifestyle in order not to gain weight. If this opportunity is not used properly and old habits continue, failure
is inevitable.
