The advantage of gastric bypass is its double effect. The gastric bypass ensures that you will not be able to eat as much. You also get full quickly when you eat – a feeling that lasts for a long time. This is because the operation in our specialized clinic in Antalya also changes the way your hormones work. In addition, the shortening of the small intestine causes your body to absorb only part of the food. This leads to weight loss. Gastric bypass is the most commonly performed and effective stomach reduction surgery.
Through gastric bypass in Turkey, you will benefit from:
Gastric bypass is the bypass technique most commonly used in Antalya or Turkey and other countries. However, it is also the most complex gastric surgery. In gastric bypass, the stomach is reduced by a specialist surgeon so that it can only contain about 15-20 ml. The remaining stomach is then sewn to a deeper loop in the small intestine, excluding the duodenum from digestion. This is also called a bypass. By excluding the duodenum, digestive juices and food, the secretions that are responsible for enzymatic cleavage, are mixed only in the middle small intestine. This is the main reason why the caloric intake is lower. Thus, gastric bypass produces efficient and permanent weight loss.
The operation is suitable for people with BMI over 40. If you also suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea, then gastric bypass surgery is advisable from a BMI of 35. Gastric bypass is therefore especially recommended for people who are severely overweight due to excessive consumption of high-calorie foods such as sweets or fatty foods. It has been proven that gastric bypass surgery gives very good results in the long term. On average, you can lose 65 to 70 percent of your excess weight and prevent secondary diseases of obesity.
What is the procedure for gastric bypass surgery?
Gastric bypass surgery usually takes between 90 and 150 minutes and is performed under anesthesia. In case of pre- and post-operative care, you will stay in the hospital for about a week and will not be able to work for 2 to 3 weeks. The surgery is performed as a keyhole surgery, which means that skin incisions of about two centimeters are made. The camera and instruments are inserted through these small incisions. First, part of the stomach is separated with a stapler. The small intestine is then cut to sew the lower end to the rest of the stomach. The upper end is sutured to the third part of the small intestine to form a Y.
How our Turkish doctors proceed in gastric bypass surgery
In gastric bypass surgery, part of the stomach is first removed, leaving only a small “remnant stomach”. The small intestine was also cut. One end is connected to the rest of the stomach, and the other end is rerouted so that food is first mixed into the middle small intestine. In this way, not all of the food components can be broken down and the undigested food is pushed into the large intestine. This diversion reduces the absorption capacity of the gastrointestinal tract and accelerates the feeling of fullness. In addition, there is much less to eat.
What are the results?
The long-term results are good. On average, people who undergo gastric bypass lose 70% of their excess weight. Most people achieve a weight that is about ten to fifteen pounds over their ideal weight. That’s not so bad. The goal of surgery is to improve your health and quality of life. Therefore, it is best to choose a target weight that is between fifteen and twenty pounds above your ideal weight before surgery. This makes more sense than trying to reach your ideal weight at any cost.

In general, obese people – i.e., those with a body mass index (BMI) of at least 40 (40 kg/m2) or with severe physical deficits at a BMI of 35 – especially over a long period of time, may undergo gastric bypass surgery for health reasons.
First and foremost, a restrictive procedure should be carefully considered, as it cannot be reversed afterwards. It should be clear to everyone that it is an anatomical change that will last a lifetime. At the same time, however, a qualitative improvement in the quality of life is guaranteed, as you will certainly lose weight bit by bit! It is also important to note that gastric bypass not only reduces calorie and fat intake, but also significantly reduces nutrient intake. This means that without additional intake of supplements, deficiencies may occur. In addition, bloating or diarrhea may occur, and in rare cases, circulation may be compromised after ingestion of foods or beverages high in sugar.
Like any surgical procedure, gastric bypass carries risks. We will inform you about them in detail during the operation. The following side effects may occur during gastric bypass surgery:

In general, anyone who is obese – that is, with a body mass index (BMI) of at least 40 (40 kg/m2) or with severe physical disabilities with a BMI of 35 – can undergo gastric bypass surgery for health reasons.
First of all, a restrictive intervention should be thoroughly evaluated, as it cannot be reversed later. It should be clear to everyone that it is an anatomical change that will last a lifetime. At the same time, however, a qualitative improvement in the quality of life is guaranteed, as you will gradually lose weight! It is also important to note that gastric bypass surgery not only reduces calorie and fat intake, but also significantly reduces nutrient intake. This means that in the absence of additional supplement intake, deficiencies may occur.
It is not uncommon for gastric sleeves to be only part of the treatment for obesity. This is mainly due to the fact that the gastric sleeve is very efficient, especially in patients who are very overweight, but is generally classified as insufficient in the case of persistent malnutrition. Most notably, high-sugar foods and beverages are part of the problem! If this is the case for a patient, the so-called gastric bypass is often planned as the next step.
If you also have diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea, gastric bypass surgery is indicated for BMI 35 and above, but only if all non-surgical measures, such as physical training or nutritional counseling, have not been sufficiently effective over a period of six to twelve months.
Gastric bypass has been shown to provide very good results over the long term. On average, you can lose 65-70% of your excess weight and prevent secondary obesity.
During the first six months after surgery, it is advisable not to consume alcohol, as this can cause an uncomfortable feeling of pressure. In addition, an important blood test should be performed after six months and the vitamin balance should be examined to avoid a prolonged deficiency. The diet must be adjusted and the body monitored. For example, too much fat causes excessive sweating or general discomfort and should therefore be avoided as much as possible. In principle, it is advisable to consult a nutritionist to ensure that the diet is good from the start.
