Weight Loss in Turkey
In today’s world, many people struggle with being overweight or obese due to their lifestyle. You can calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) by dividing your weight (kg) by your height (m²) to find out if you're thin, overweight, healthy, or obese. If your BMI is ≥ 30, you are considered obese.
However, there's no need to worry! Weight loss surgery is available for anyone weighing between 30 to 200 kilograms. Skilled surgeons in Turkey offer various types of weight-loss surgeries with long-term results. These surgeries reduce the risks of obesity-related diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and obesity syndrome. With guaranteed outcomes, these procedures are not only quick and easy but also yield exciting results!
Here are the common situations where weight loss surgery is recommended:
⭐ Severe obesity with a BMI above 30
⭐ Diabetes with a BMI above 35, or other serious conditions like severe joint pain or sleep apnea, which can improve through weight loss
⭐ Specific cases such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and sleep apnea with a BMI higher than 30
⭐ Certain ethnic groups like Southeast Asians or Indians may experience the effects of obesity with a BMI under 27.5 and still be eligible for weight loss surgery
Depending on the patient's condition, the surgeon selects the best surgery method from several options to ensure optimal results. Some procedures limit food intake, others affect digestion, and some involve changes to the stomach, small intestine, or both.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
01High degree of diabetes mellitus
People who are overweight or obese and practice little to no activity are highly susceptible to Type 2 Diabetes. Patients with Type 2 Diabetes mainly experience symptoms such as hyperglycemia and insulin resistance where the body cannot maintain normal blood glucose levels.
02Brain attack
Strokes can be directly linked to excess weight as obesity causes an increase in blood pressure or clotting of major vessels. Without proper blood circulation, blood flow to the brain can be limited or blocked which could lead to a stroke.
03Hypertension
Hypertension is the elevation of pressure in the arteries. Upon buildup of this pressure, patients are vulnerable to various heart conditions such as heart failure, stroke, infarction, or end-stage kidney failure.
04Infertility
The inability to conceive after several attempts can also stem from obesity. Hormonal imbalances linked to obesity can inhibit reproductive capabilities in both men and women.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
01Increase the chances of cancer
Obesity is known to be clearly linked to increased chances of cancer cells within the body. These cancer cells are highly harmful to the body’s natural biological system and can work to destroy healthy tissue in a certain area or spread entirely throughout the body.
02Sleep apnea
Sleeping disorders stemming from obesity, such as sleep apnea or other respiratory dysfunctions, can cause individuals to suffer uncomfortable and potentially dangerous symptoms during sleep.
03Osteoporosis
This condition is a joint disease caused by the loss of cartilage over time resulting in the painful scraping of bones against each other. Obesity can cause or speed up the process of osteoarthritis by placing excess pressure on the joints, causing the joints to wear down over time.
04Cardiovascular diseases
This heart condition is caused by the buildup of plaque within the body’s blood vessels linked to excess weight or the continuous consumption of fatty foods. If a blood vessel clots, blood flow to the heart will stop, leading to a heart attack, stroke and, in some cases, cardiac arrest.
