Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to common questions about bariatric surgery, including recovery, outcomes, and costs.

Can you ever eat normally after gastric bypass?
After gastric bypass, food can be consumed again, but only in smaller portions. Following your doctor's guidance on nutrition is the most appropriate approach.
How much weight can you lose after bariatric surgery?
The rate of weight loss after surgery may vary from person to person. On average, patients lose about 60–70% of their excess weight within 1–2 years after the procedure.
What organ is removed in bariatric surgery?
In sleeve gastrectomy, about 70–80% of the stomach is removed. In other bariatric procedures, no organ is completely removed.
How painful is bariatric surgery?
Since the surgery is performed under anesthesia, patients usually experience mild to moderate pain afterward, which can be managed with medication.
Does the stomach grow back after bariatric surgery?
After surgery, the stomach does not return to its original size, but over time it may stretch slightly when food is consumed.
How much is obesity surgery in Turkey?
In Turkey, the cost of obesity surgery generally varies depending on the procedure and the hospital.
