What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Gastric Bypass Surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), is one of the most commonly performed and highly effective weight loss surgeries in the world. It is a type of bariatric surgery that works by both restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold and reducing the absorption of nutrients in the digestive system. During the procedure, the surgeon creates a small pouch from the upper part of the stomach and connects it directly to the small intestine, bypassing the majority of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine.

Beyond weight loss, Gastric Bypass Surgery has shown remarkable results in improving or completely resolving many obesity-related conditions, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, joint pain, and fatty liver disease. Recovery generally takes 3–6 weeks, and patients are required to follow a strict dietary plan and lifestyle changes to maintain long-term results. It remains one of the most transformative surgical procedures available for individuals battling severe obesity.

Who is the candidate of Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey?

Candidates for Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey:

Severe Obesity Patients (BMI 40+): Individuals with a Body Mass Index of 40 or above who have struggled with severe obesity for years and have been unable to achieve sustainable weight loss through diet, exercise, or medication alone.
Obesity with Related Health Conditions (BMI 35+): Patients with a BMI of 35 or higher accompanied by serious obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or heart disease that significantly impact their quality of life.
Type 2 Diabetes Sufferers: Individuals with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes related to obesity, where gastric bypass has shown remarkable results in improving or completely resolving blood sugar levels and reducing dependency on medication.
Failed Non-Surgical Weight Loss Attempts: Patients who have genuinely and consistently tried conservative weight loss methods including supervised diet programs, exercise regimens, and weight loss medications for 6+ months without achieving meaningful or lasting results.
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Patients: Individuals whose excess weight poses a serious and immediate threat to their heart health, including those suffering from high cholesterol, hypertension, or coronary artery disease directly linked to obesity.
Sleep Apnea & Respiratory Condition Patients: Those suffering from severe obesity-related sleep apnea or breathing difficulties where significant weight loss through surgery is medically necessary to improve respiratory function and overall health.
Joint Pain & Mobility Impaired Patients: Individuals whose excess body weight places extreme stress on their joints, causing severe knee, hip, or back pain that limits mobility and prevents them from engaging in physical activity or daily tasks.
Psychologically Evaluated & Committed Patients: Candidates who have undergone thorough psychological assessment and demonstrate a genuine commitment to the significant lifestyle, dietary, and behavioral changes required for long-term success after surgery.
Age-Appropriate Candidates (18–65 Years): Generally, patients between the ages of 18 and 65 who are in acceptable overall health to safely undergo general anesthesia and the surgical procedure with manageable risk levels.
