Why gastric band surgery may be right for you?

Gastric band surgery, also known as laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, can help patients achieve sustainable weight loss while improving related health conditions. It may be recommended if you:

Have severe obesity: A BMI of 40 or higher, or BMI of 35+ with obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea.
Have struggled with non-surgical weight loss: Diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes alone have not produced lasting results.
Have mental and emotional readiness: Psychological stability and absence of substance dependence are crucial to follow post-operative care and achieve optimal outcomes.

By choosing this procedure in Turkey, you benefit from state-of-the-art medical facilities, experienced surgeons, and a supportive environment focused on your recovery.

Who should consider gastric band surgery?

Patients who meet the above criteria often experience:

Significant health improvements: Reduced risk of diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.
Enhanced quality of life: Increased mobility, self-confidence, and energy levels.
Personalized care: Ongoing support from our multidisciplinary team, including dietitians, psychologists, and surgeons.

Our team at Turquie Santé ensures that each patient receives a tailored treatment plan to maximize safety and effectiveness.

When gastric band surgery may not be suitable?

While gastric band surgery is safe for many, certain conditions may make it unsuitable, including:

Severe stomach or digestive problems: Ulcers, chronic reflux, or inflammatory bowel disease.
Mental health or addiction concerns: Untreated depression, uncontrolled psychiatric conditions, or substance abuse.
Serious heart or lung diseases: These may increase surgical risks.

Take the first step today ! Contact our experts at Turquie Santé for a personalized consultation and discover if gastric band surgery in Turkey is right for you.

How does a stomach band work?

The doctor will place a small pouch at the top of your stomach, just above the gastric band. When you eat, the pouch fills up quickly, making you feel full sooner and importantly stay satisfied longer. As a results, your naturally eat less, which promotes healthy weight loss.

Your surgeon can adjust the tightness of the gastric band by adding or removing fluid through a connected tube. This controls how quickly food moves from the pouch to the rest of your stomach. These adjustments ensure that you lose weight at a healthy and steady pace.

In order that the gastric band can be effective, it is really important to adopt a healthy lifestyle after surgery. Don't worry our care team will advise you and guide you to change some eating habits and becoming more active.

Long-term results of adjustable gastric band surgery

Turquie santé boasts an impressive success rate of over 85% for gastric band surgery. However, it's important to note that consistent postoperative care is crucial for achieving these excellent results.

Adjustable gastric band surgery helps you lose weight by reducing the size of your stomach. Most people lose 40%-60% of their excess weight, though some regain it later. There can be problems with the band, such as stomach issues. You may need to take vitamins to avoid nutritional deficiencies. While it can improve health issues like diabetes, staying healthy requires proper nutrition and exercises.

With over 10 years of experience, Turquie santé ensures a very low rate of complications and a high level of patient satisfaction. Our team of expert bariatric surgeons and medical staff is committed to providing the highest standard of care. We prioritize your safety and well-being every step of the way, from consultation to recovery

Complications of gastroplasty

Although placing an adjustable gastric band is safe, certain risks may arise. Below are the most common side effects and how they are managed at our clinic

Side effects	How is healthcare managed in Turkey?
Reactions to anesthesia, excessive bleeding, or blood clots.	Advanced anesthetic monitoring and safety protocols are used throughout the surgery.
Infection around the bandage, tube, or wound	The treatment includes antibiotics and cleaning of the affected area.
Damage to the stomach or nearby organs.	If detected, immediate surgical repair is necessary, along with the use of minimally invasive techniques to reduce risks.
Belt displacement, slippage, or erosion	Check regularly to avoid complications and reposition, adjust, or replace the tape as needed.
Gallstones form due to rapid weight loss	Perform preventive assessments and, if necessary, surgical extractions. Monitor nutrition to reduce risks.

Rest assured that these risks are rare, and our team will work closely with you to address any concerns throughout your journey. Our experienced team will support you every step of the way to ensure a smooth recovery. We will closely manage to keep you comfortable and support you through a safe and successful recovery.

Tips for a smooth recovery

To ensure a smooth recovery and reduce the risk of complications, you can follow these helpful tips:

Follow your surgeon's advice. Stick to the post-op instructions, dietary restrictions, and medication guidelines.
Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water is crucial, especially in the early stages of recovery.
Get plenty of rest during the first few days and avoid heavy physical activity until your doctor gives you the green light.

If you experience any discomfort, don't push yourself, light walking is okay once you feel up to it, but be sure to pace yourself. As you heal, you can gradually reintroduce more activity, but always under your doctor's guidance.

At Turquie santé, we will guide you through every step of your recovery, including your diet. After gastric band surgery you will start with liquids, soft food, and eventually enjoy solid meals again. We provide a personalized nutrition plan to help you get the most out of your surgery and ensure steady, healthy weight loss. With the right diet and support, you'll feel more energized and confident in no time.

Frequently asked questions

The insertion of a gastric band, also called modular band gastroplasty, is a reversible method used in bariatric surgery.
During this surgery, a band would be placed around the upper part of the stomach to reduce its size. As a result, the stomach would fill up faster, and that would give the patient a feeling of satiety. The gastric band would be connected, by a small canal, to a control box which would be placed under the skin. This box would allow the doctor to tighten or loosen the gastric band if necessary.

The advantages of the gastric band surgery are:

Considerable weight loss, up to 50% of excess weight;
Placing a gastric band does not cause digestive disturbances and does not decrease the absorption of nutrients;
It is a reversible technique.

During the first week, minced or mashed food would be allowed, such as mashed potatoes, compotes and thick soups.
Starting from the second week, it would be possible to eat a little more substantial foods such as cooked vegetables.
Starting from the fourth postoperative week, you would be allowed to eat small amounts of every type of food.
It is important to note that you will need to eat in small portions, and to chew the food very slowly before swallowing it.

Pregnancy is not contraindicated for women who have a gastric band around the stomach. However, it is necessary to consult the doctor in case of abdominal pain during pregnancy, regardless of its intensity.

The success rate of gastric band surgery is 85%.
