An operation such as a gastric sleeve or a gastric bypass is always a serious procedure. For this reason, it is important to find out which operation or treatment is best for you by taking a thorough medical history. We look at past and current illnesses, state of health, and the degree of excess weight! It’s also essential to provide comprehensive information about the risks involved in gastric surgery.

In principle, every medical operation is associated with risks. This also applies to our gastric surgeries.

In particular, with the leading specialist Dr. Gökçe, you are in good hands. Short-term complications are noticed immediately and can be treated directly while you are still in the hospital. Later side effects are usually not a problem.

After a stomach reduction surgery, nutrition plays a central role in supporting the healing process and achieving long-term weight loss. However, this is not about restriction but rather an adjustment that is manageable and contributes to a healthier lifestyle.
‍
In the first few weeks after the operation, the diet begins with easily digestible, liquid, and pureed foods. This allows the stomach to gradually adapt to the new conditions. Soft, easily chewable foods can soon be integrated, eventually transitioning to a complete diet – but in smaller portions.
‍
It's essential to focus on nutrient-rich foods to provide the body with the energy and vitamins it needs. Protein-rich foods such as fish, chicken, eggs, and legumes take center stage. Staying well-hydrated by drinking enough water is also crucial. Small meals distributed throughout the day help maintain a comfortable feeling of fullness.

With the support of our nutritionists and personalized plans, this adjustment is entirely manageable and a valuable step toward a healthier, more active life!
