"From the moment I first reached out to this clinic through the surgery and recovery process It was a five star service. I found this clinic on Google and I reached out to them. In the first conversation with the team I was 100% sure that this was the place where I would like to have the surgery. Within the week I was already in Istanbul. We arrived on a late flight so the minute we arrived at the hospital We started doing all the tests. Everything came out normal and in the morning I was ready for the surgery. Everything went great. Recovery was very quick. I was in the hospital for three days. My first day of the surgery. I was already walking up and down the hallway. After initial three days at the hospital, we stayed at a hotel nearby for four more days. Came back for a check up five days after surgery and on the seventh day I flew back home. Through the whole stay in Istanbul I had 100% support from the doctor and his whole team. Everybody was so amazing. Most of the doctors team speaks English, and the communications were very easy, however, they do have translators for many different languages so nothing to worry there. So far I’ve lost almost 60 pounds. My surgery was in November 2022. Through the whole process of recovery until today I had unmatched support from the whole team. Nutritionist were amazing. They explained everything that you are supposed to eat and how you’re supposed to eat. Any questions I had after I came back home, the doctors were literally a text message or a phone call away. With the WhatsApp I was able to reach them at any time I needed them for anything and any questions. This surgery changed my life. I feel amazing. I feel healthier, happier and of course I look great. I recommend this clinic and Dr. He 100% to anyone who is thinking about doing this type of surgery.

Here's a general timeline of the gastric sleeve journey:Here's a general timeline of the gastric sleeve journey:

·       Pre-operative consultation and testing: It is given 2-4 weeks before the surgical operation.

·       Hospital stay: The length of time can range from 2 to 3 days for the dressing to be changed, after a surgery has been conducted.

·       Full recovery: This group is 4-6 weeks after surgery not earlier, as it takes some of them time to accept a new attitude and outlook on life.

As for the diet during the recovery period, patients will be displaced to continue with the diet progression which included clear liquid, soft and then solid. The patient should go for follow-up visits with the surgeon, and a nutritionist from time to time to allow the surgeon to evaluate his progress, advise on matters concerning diet, and address any issues related to the surgery or ensuing recovery.

Successful management of obesity after gastric sleeve surgery can be achieved only by adopting a life-long process of consuming proper, healthy foods and practising regular and sufficient physical activity, and regular follow-up visits with the healthcare providers. Finally, through compliance to these changes in lifestyles the patients are able to lose weight, have better health and there hence quality life improving.

Pain and discomfort are general in most people who undergo gastric bypass surgery, particularly in the first few days. Nevertheless, to alleviate pain resulting from the surgery, your surgeon will prescribe you pain relievers. It is also interesting to know that most people indicate that pain is not as severe as anticipated and it is manageable with the help of medication.

Gastric bypass Turkey price ranges from £3,750 to £5,000 in 2024, making it a highly sought-after destination for bariatric surgery. This package includes access to professional and skilled surgeons, up to date surgical facilities, and relatively affordable prices if compared with the UK – up to £15,000.

People who used gastric balloon are those with BMI ranging from 30 to 40 and those who have tried to lose weight but they have not succeeded due to various factors. It can also be recommended to a patient with BMI of more than 40 who cannot undergo surgery or those who want to shed some weight before going for a more rigorous weight loss surgical process. Patients should have the willingness to change their behavior for a long-term period and have appropriate expectations towards the result of the treatment.

Gastric bypass operation is mostly irreversible and the patient cannot be taken back to the previous state once the operation is over. Although the procedure may be reversible in some instances, it is a difficult surgery and one can only be advised to undergo the procedure occasionally. Before opting for the gastric bypass surgery one needs to takes a decision and for that one should be ready to change his or her lifestyle in the future in order to achieve the desired results.

It should also be said that the gastric sleeve procedure itself is usually not very long and lasts within the gauge of 1 to 2 hours. Nonetheless, patients should be prepared to be admitted in the hospital and stay for 2-3 days after the surgery to ensure they are observed as they recuperate.

It is however, widely known and quite a rarity that a gastric balloon may leak or burst in the stomach. In that case, the saline solution will be considered biocompatible, thus being safely absorbed by the body, and the balloon will be excreted seamlessly al through the digestive system.

Other signs such as changes in the desire for food, stomach pains or changes in the color of the urine are some of the manifestations of leaking or burst balloon. If your balloon does look deflated or you believe the balloon has had a blow-out, please consult your doctor.

Drivers should not drive for 1-2 weeks after the surgery of gastric sleeve. Based on this reasoning some of them being use of pain medication that hampers one’s ability to judge and respond properly and need for sufficient rest following surgery to evade possible complications.

There are certain guidelines that must be followed and one of them is to wait until pain is moderate to require no narcotic analgesia before driving again. Patients should also be able to easily wear a seat belt and easily maneuver around in a car in case they need to perform any specific movements.

It is crucial that such patients read the signals that their surgeon deems fit for them to return to driving after ensuring that they are well qualified and safe to go behind the wheels.

The actual gastric bypass surgery can take anywhere from 2-4 hours depending on the type of surgery to be performed and the existence or non-existence of complications. However, you should prepare to spend 2-3 days in hospital, but this will depend on the doctor you are attending.

Patients do not have any problem in traveling with a gastric balloon. However, the balloon doesn’t contain air but rather saline solution so change in cabin pressure during the flight will not disturb the balloon. However, it is always recommended that whenever one is planning to fly, they had to consult the doctor who did the operation so that one could be cleared to travel.

These women should also know that gastric sleeve surgery alters the pregnancies that they are likely to have in future. It is advisable to avoid conception for 1 year to 1 and half years after the procedure because the patient has to lose some weight before the operation and also to stabilize.

A significant number of patients gain less than 5:mg/day during the first year after GS and rapid weight loss is known to impair fetal development due to nutrient deficiency. Thus, the postpartum period provides a chance to avoid future pregnancies until both the mother’s and the child’s weight is stable and their nutrition is optimal for pregnancy.

After achieving a stable weight and if a woman is finally ready for conceiving, she needs to be under the care of bariatric surgeons who specialize in managing pregnancies. This team may consist of an obstetrician, a bariatric surgeon, and a nutritionist that would be able to keep track of the mother’s health, alter the supplements if necessary, and provide the fetus with its nutritional requirements.

You are advised to not drive for at least two to three weeks of surgery or if you are taking a narcotic pain reliever. The following are also things that you should not do: You should also not drive if you are feeling dizzy, sleepy or in any other way that your capacity to drive safely is questionable.

Still, it appears that the Elipse balloon, as seen in Turkey, is not for everyone. It may not be recommended if you:It may not be recommended if you:

·       Have undergone other gastrointestinal surgery

·       Suffer from an inflammatory disease of the digestive tract for example, crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.

·       Undergo a malignant transformation at some point in their lives

·       Are pregnant or breastfeeding

·       They have also had previous bowel obstructions.

·       Dependence on drugs or alcohol

The only way for one to know whether he or she is eligible to benefit from the Elipse balloon is to visit a clinic that offers the procedure. They will assess your medical history, goals for weight loss, and all the information on their program in order to qualify you.

Gastric balloon Turkey price ranges from £1,250 to £2,150, offering an affordable solution for those seeking non-surgical weight loss treatment. It may be significantly cheaper in this country, compared to other european countries such as the UK where gastric balloon costs £3,000 to £8,000. 

The Allurion balloon has been designed to be in the stomach for about 16 weeks. At this time the balloon occupies part of the stomach, thus occupies the space and limit the volume of food consumed. It is deflated after 16 weeks and patients can proceed with the weight loss program using Allurion Program.

Indeed, the gastric band is a reversible procedure, which is one of the advantages. If that is the case, it means that the band can be undone and the size and function of the stomach will always be restored. This is a great feature considering that the procedures are very irreversible and some patients may not dedicate time to embrace the new change.

However, one should remember that as much as the procedure is reversible, the weight loss performed through the gastric band may not be sustained once the band is taken off and the patient has not committed to improving his / her dietary habits.

The weight loss success of gastric balloon also differs from one individual to another depending on the initial weight, level of compliance to dietary and lifestyle modifications and the time span in which the procedure is done. typically, the patients are likely to shed between 20-50 pounds (9-23 kg) within the period that the balloon is lit in the stomach, which takes between 6-12 months. Yet, there might be variations on the part of different patients who might either gain or shed lesser weight or more weight than others.

A gastric band is a long term provision for weight loss and it is made to have a long span of life provided it is well maintained. The formation of the band itself is made of hard wearing materials which are expected to endure the hostile stomach.

However, the durability of the gastric band depends on certain factors such as the health status of the patient, the ability to follow certain dietary dictates and the correct follow up to have band operations done. In general, it is expected that gastric band may last between 10 to 15 years but some of the patients may need to have their band removed or replaced within a shorter period of time due to various complications or lack of adequate weight loss.

The cost of an Elipse balloon varies by country and clinic. As noted above, the average Elipse balloon Turkey price is £1,250 to £2,150 compared to £3,000 to £8,000 in the UK.

If you want to know the total cost of an exact Elipse balloon in Turkey it is recommended to have the consultation with the clinic of your choice. They will consider your medical history, weight loss objective, and the specifics of their Elipse balloon service before giving a quote.

However, let me remind you that cheapest doesn’t always mean the best. The emphasis should be placed on the clinic’s credentials, competent medical staff to avoid being harmed and for the goals of a successful weight loss program to be achieved.

While you can eat most foods in moderation after gastric bypass surgery, there are some foods that you may need to avoid or limit, such as:While you can eat most foods in moderation after gastric bypass surgery, there are some foods that you may need to avoid or limit, such as:

It is crucial to know what is contained in the package price to enable comparison of various clinics and surgeons so that you do not arrive at a surgeon’s clinic only to be told that some of the Procedures are not included in the package price.

This is another feature of the Elipse balloon in that it stays in the stomach for 16 weeks which is approximately 4 months. After 16 weeks a valve automatically opens so that the balloon collapses and can be expelled naturally through the digestive system.

This 16 week period is enough time to have initiated the process of weight loss in patients who will have tended to by an average of 10-15 kilograms. It is also short enough to be a durable period in which patients is likely to honor the dietary alteration and follow–up appointments.

After the Elipse balloon in Turkey passes, patients stop working with the same healthcare team that they previously collaborated with as they ensure that they continue with the practices that will ensure that they reverse the obesity levels that they have achieved. The Elipse program is a 16 week program but the result it brings can be sustained with the support and change in the respective lifestyle.

Currently, the price of the Allurion balloon depends on a country and a clinic where the surgery is to be conducted. While in Turkey prices lies between £1,250 and £2,150, costs in United Kingdom may exceed even £8,000. It should also be mentioned that the final price could be augmented by such services as accommodation, transport, and the logistics of aftercare.

·       It is recommended by a bariatric surgeon to find out if a gastric band is the most suitable for your case and situation.

It is quite safe to fly with an Elipse balloon so this is possible. It is inflated with saline that means it will not be affected by the changes is pressure that happen in the cabins during a flight. Nonetheless, a majority of surgeons advise that a patient should not travel by air for at least 48 to 72 hours following the implantation to counter the first few complications such as nausea. It is not very comfortable to travel by flight with some tummy issues!

If you are about to travel to your home country or any other country with your Elipse balloon installed in Turkey it is advisable to inform your clinic team. They can help you on how to approach the nutrition plan you should be following especially when traveling or give you contacts of a clinic, nearby where you are going, in case of any complications.

Just bear in mind that you would have to stay in Turkey for one or two days more after your Elipse balloon placement. But after that it is optional to return back home or continue with the next schedule. The placement process of the Elipse balloon is fast and does not require any invasive procedure and does not require removal; therefore it is suitable for travel.

It is well known that the Allurion balloon is an endoscopic, non-surgical procedure for weight loss which is not designed to be a permanent implant in the body. Depending on the size of the inserted balloon, it will take approximately 16 weeks before the balloon is retrieved though this is done through a minimally invasive procedure. The types of skins can be removed easily, and the process generally does not last more than a few minutes, and therefore the patients can go back to their normal activities.

Does Starving Yourself Make You Lose Weight?

 

Starving yourself may seem like a quick way to lose weight, but it’s far from an effective or healthy approach. While you may initially see some weight loss, this method negatively affects your body and overall health. The body responds to starvation by slowing down metabolism and conserving energy, which makes losing weight even harder in the long run. Moreover, “starving yourself” can lead to nutrient deficiencies, muscle loss, and other health issues. Instead of focusing on extreme calorie restrictions, a balanced diet and regular exercise are more sustainable ways to achieve healthy weight loss.

How Much Can You Eat 2 Years After Gastric Sleeve?

How much can you eat 2 years after gastric sleeve? How many calories should I eat 2 years after VSG? Can you ever eat normally again after gastric sleeve? Is it normal to gain weight 2 years after gastric sleeve? 2 years after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, the amount of food that can be consumed has typically increased compared to the immediate post-operative period. However, it is important to note that the stomach size has been permanently reduced, and therefore portion sizes should still be smaller than before the surgery. The exact amount of food that can be consumed will vary from person to person, and it is important to work closely with a healthcare provider to determine an appropriate and healthy portion size.

In terms of caloric intake, the recommended amount will also vary depending on individual factors such as age, gender, weight, activity level, and overall health. Generally speaking, two years after gastric sleeve surgery, most individuals can consume between 800 to 1,200 calories per day. However, it is crucial to consult with a registered dietitian or nutritionist to create a personalized meal plan that meets specific nutritional needs while supporting weight management and overall well-being. As for eating "normally" again after gastric sleeve surgery, it is important to recognize that the definition of "normal" eating may have shifted following the procedure. While individuals can enjoy a wide variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, it is essential to continue prioritizing nutrient-dense options and mindful eating habits. Additionally, certain foods high in sugar, fat, or empty calories may need to be limited to support weight maintenance and overall health.

It is not uncommon for some individuals to experience weight fluctuations in the years following gastric sleeve surgery. Factors such as lifestyle choices, stress, hormonal changes, and metabolic adaptations can contribute to weight changes over time. It is important for individuals who have undergone gastric sleeve surgery to continue attending regular follow-up appointments with their healthcare team. These appointments provide an opportunity to discuss any concerns, receive ongoing support, and make adjustments to dietary and lifestyle habits as needed.

Gastric sleeve surgery, medically known as vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), is a type of bariatric surgery designed to aid weight loss. The procedure involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving behind a 'sleeve' or tube-like structure. This reduces the size of the stomach by approximately 75-80%, limiting the amount of food you can consume and altering the hormones that manage hunger and satiety.

The purpose of gastric sleeve surgery is to help individuals struggling with obesity to lose weight and, subsequently, alleviate obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. However, it's important to realise that this surgery is not a quick fix; it’s a tool to assist in long-term weight management and requires significant lifestyle changes to be effective. Keep in mind that the success of gastric sleeve surgery is measured not only by the amount of weight lost but also by the improvement in overall health and quality of life. This surgery is a life-altering decision, and it’s essential to fully understand the implications, including the necessary dietary adjustments, before undertaking this procedure.

Puree Stage Gastric Sleeve

Puree stage gastric sleeve diet is a crucial part of the post-surgery recovery process, allowing your stomach to heal while providing essential nutrients. At Gastric Sleeve Turkey Clinic, we guide patients through this stage with personalized meal plans and support to ensure a smooth transition and optimal healing. Our comprehensive care helps patients adapt to their new dietary requirements effectively.

How long is the puree stage gastric sleeve? What can i eat on puree stage gastric sleeve? How many weeks is the puree stage gastric sleeve? What can I eat in the puree stage? Can I start my puree stage early after bariatric surgery? What is a Stage 2 puree diet? If you have recently undergone gastric sleeve surgery, you may be wondering about the length and specifics of the puree stage. The puree stage is an important part of your post-surgery journey, as it allows your stomach to heal and adjust to solid foods gradually. During the puree stage, your diet will consist of foods that are easy to blend into a smooth, pureed consistency. This enables easier digestion and minimizes the risk of discomfort or complications.

The puree stage of the gastric sleeve diet typically lasts for about 2-4 weeks, although this can vary depending on individual circumstances and the specific recommendations of your healthcare provider. During this stage, the goal is to transition from consuming only liquids to being able to tolerate pureed or soft foods.

When it comes to what you can eat during the puree stage of the gastric sleeve, it's important to focus on foods that are easily digestible and gentle on your stomach. This often includes foods such as pureed vegetables, lean ground meats, soft fruits, and low-fat dairy products. It's important to avoid foods that are high in sugar, fat, or fiber, as these can be more difficult for your body to process at this stage.

In terms of timing, it's crucial to follow your healthcare provider's specific guidelines regarding when to start the puree stage after bariatric surgery. While some individuals may be eager to progress through the stages of the diet more quickly, it's essential to allow your body the time it needs to heal and adjust to the changes that have occurred as a result of the surgery. Starting the puree stage too early can potentially cause discomfort, complications, or setbacks in your recovery.

The Stage 2 puree diet is a specific phase of the post-bariatric surgery dietary plan that focuses on consuming foods that have been pureed or blended to a smooth consistency. This stage typically follows a period of consuming only clear liquids and precedes the transition to being able to tolerate soft solid foods. The emphasis during this stage is on gradually reintroducing more substantial nutrients and textures into your diet while still prioritizing foods that are easy to digest.
