An interdisciplinary team evaluates the feasibility of surgery in patients with grade III obesity (with a body mass index of 40 or more).
Bariatric surgery procedures include:
gastric bypass (cutting off part of the stomach from digestion);
sleeve gastrectomy;
biliopancreatic shunting with duodenal exclusion.
These surgeries have proven to be effective in the treatment of grade III obesity. They also help regulate metabolism, including blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Weight loss surgeries are performed by surgeons using minimally invasive methods (laparoscopic surgery). This ensures small incisions and fast healing.
The operations are carried out by a specialist in obesity surgery – Prof. Aziz Zumer (Dr. Sümer), who has sufficient experience and knowledge in the field of bariatric and laparoscopic surgery.
