What is A Gastric Bypass?
A gastric bypass is a type of weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery) that alters the digestive system to help people lose weight by restricting food intake and changing how nutrients are absorbed. During the procedure, a small pouch is created at the top of the stomach, which is then connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large portion of the stomach and part of the intestines.
This reduces the amount of food you can eat and limits calorie and nutrient absorption, leading to significant weight loss. Gastric bypass is often recommended for individuals who are severely obese and have not been able to lose weight through diet, exercise, or other weight-loss treatments. It can also help improve obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Gastric Bypass?
A good candidate for gastric bypass is someone who:
✔ Has a BMI of 40 or higher: Individuals with severe obesity may benefit from gastric bypass surgery.
✔ Has a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions: Conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or heart disease may qualify a person for the procedure.
✔ Has tried other weight-loss methods without success: Candidates should have attempted to lose weight through diet, exercise, or medication without long-term results.
✔ Is in good overall health for surgery: While obese, candidates should be healthy enough to undergo surgery and recover.
✔ Is committed to long-term lifestyle changes: Success after gastric bypass requires a commitment to a healthy diet, regular exercise, and medical follow-up.
✔ Does not have untreated psychological disorders: Candidates should be mentally prepared for the changes and responsibilities required after surgery.
A consultation with a qualified surgeon is essential to determine if gastric bypass is the right option for weight loss and health improvement.

Concerns About Recovery Time
Gastric bypass typically requires a hospital stay of 2-3 days, with a few weeks of recovery at home. Our team will provide personalized post-surgery care plans to help you recover smoothly and get back to normal life as soon as possible.

Obesity-Related Health Issues
For those suffering from conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea due to obesity, gastric bypass can greatly improve or even resolve these health concerns, leading to a better quality of life.

Planning for Pregnancy
If you’re planning to become pregnant, it’s advised to wait at least 18 months after gastric bypass surgery. This allows your body to stabilize and ensures the best outcomes for both you and your future baby.
Post-Surgery Support
Our commitment to your health doesn’t end with the surgery. We provide continuous follow-up care and nutritional counseling to ensure you stay on track and reach your weight loss goals.

Concerns About Nutrient Absorption
Gastric bypass surgery affects how your body absorbs nutrients. Our experienced team provides detailed guidance on post-op nutrition to ensure you get the vitamins and minerals you need while losing weight effectively.
Targeting Stubborn Belly Fat
Gastric bypass not only reduces overall body weight but can also specifically target belly fat, which is often resistant to other forms of weight loss. This can significantly improve your body’s shape and appearance.
Concerns About Scars
While gastric bypass does involve incisions, our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scarring. The incisions are typically small and placed in areas that heal well, and over time, any scarring will fade, leaving minimal visible marks.

What are the Expected Outcomes of Gastric Bypass?
The expected outcomes of gastric bypass surgery are both physical and health-related, providing significant benefits for individuals struggling with obesity. Here are some key outcomes:
✔ Most patients lose 60-80% of excess body weight within 12-18 months.
✔ Gastric bypass can improve or resolve conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
✔ Enhanced quality of life with increased energy, mobility, and self-confidence.
✔ Long-term weight maintenance through reduced stomach size and altered nutrient absorption.
✔ Improved mental health, including reduced anxiety and depression, as a result of weight loss and lifestyle changes.
These outcomes, combined with healthy lifestyle changes, can provide lasting results, improving both your physical health and mental well-being.
How Is Gastric Bypass Surgery Done?
At Prime Health Turkey, we prioritize your health and comfort. We’re committed to delivering the results you desire while supporting and guiding you from start to finish.
Anesthesia
The procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. Depending on your needs, this can be general anesthesia, where you're fully asleep, or intravenous sedation, which keeps you relaxed but semi-conscious.
Creation of the Stomach Pouch
The surgeon begins by dividing the stomach into two sections, creating a small upper pouch about the size of an egg. This pouch will serve as the functional stomach, significantly reducing the amount of food the patient can consume.
Rerouting the Small Intestine
Next, the surgeon divides the small intestine and connects the lower section to the newly formed stomach pouch. This rerouting bypasses a large portion of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine, reducing the absorption of calories and nutrients to promote effective weight loss.
Minimally Invasive Approach
The procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, using several small incisions rather than a single large one. A laparoscope, a small camera, is inserted through one incision to guide the surgeon, allowing for a more precise and minimally invasive surgery.
Closing and Recovery
Once the rerouting is complete, the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical staples. Patients usually stay in the hospital for a few days post-surgery to monitor recovery. They will gradually transition from liquids to soft foods and, eventually, a normal diet over the following weeks. Full recovery typically occurs within several weeks, with regular follow-up appointments to ensure long-term success.

What to Do and What Not to Do Before Gastric Bypass Surgery
What You Should Do:
✔ Follow a Pre-Surgery Diet: Your surgeon may recommend a specific diet, typically a low-calorie, high-protein diet, to shrink your liver and make the surgery safer.
✔ Attend All Pre-Surgery Appointments: Be sure to complete any required medical evaluations, including blood tests, and consultations with specialists.
✔ Stay Active: Engage in light physical activity like walking to improve overall health and support your recovery.
✔ Take Prescribed Medications: Continue taking any medications your surgeon approves, including those for chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
✔ Prepare Your Home for Recovery: Stock up on post-surgery food options and arrange for help with household tasks during your initial recovery period.
What You Should Not Do:
✘ Do Not Smoke or Drink Alcohol: Quit smoking at least 4 weeks before surgery and avoid alcohol to improve healing and reduce the risk of complications.
✘ Do Not Take Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: Stop taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen 2 weeks before surgery, as they can increase bleeding risk.
✘ Avoid Herbal Supplements: Stop taking herbal remedies and supplements unless specifically approved by your surgeon, as they can interfere with anesthesia and healing.
✘ Do Not Eat or Drink Before Surgery: Follow your surgeon's fasting instructions, usually no food or drink for 8-12 hours before the procedure to avoid complications with anesthesia.
✘ Avoid New or Unapproved Medications: Only take medications your surgeon has approved in the weeks leading up to surgery.
What to Do After Gastric Bypass Surgery
Post-surgery care is crucial to ensure a smooth recovery and long-term success. Here’s what to do after your gastric bypass surgery:
✔ Follow a liquid-to-solid diet as directed by your surgeon, starting with clear liquids and gradually transitioning to solid foods.
✔ Stay hydrated by sipping water slowly throughout the day.
✔ Take prescribed medications and supplements to manage pain and prevent nutrient deficiencies.
✔ Begin light walking soon after surgery to promote healing and prevent blood clots.
✔ Attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure proper recovery.
✔ Report unusual symptoms like severe pain, fever, or nausea to your doctor immediately.
✔ Avoid smoking and alcohol to support healing and reduce the risk of complications.
✔ Eat small, frequent meals to prevent discomfort and promote healthy digestion.
✔ Stick to your nutritional plan, ensuring you get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals for long-term success.
