Gastric Sleeve Turkey Reviews

Patient Story: Bridgette S. Review Initial Condition:

Bridgette, 52 years old, came to us weighing 82 kg (180 lbs) and standing 1.70 meters (5'7"). In 2014, she had undergone gastric band surgery, but she was unhappy with the results and sought a revision.

Gastric Sleeve Treatment Plan:

After discussing her previous gastric band surgery and medications with our team, Bridgette had an online consultation with our general surgeon. During the consultation, her doctor advised removing the band due to potential complications such as weight regain, erosion, or perforation of the stomach wall.

It was recommended that she undergo a gastric sleeve surgery, which was performed in the same session as the band removal.

Hospital Stay:

Bridgette stayed in the hospital for four days for monitoring and recovery. During her stay, she underwent various consultations and tests, including:

• General Surgery Consultation

• Cardiology Consultation

• Anesthesia Consultation

• Pulmonology Consultation

• Internal Medicine Consultation

Tests Performed:

• Blood tests (including glucose levels, liver function, cholesterol)

• Hormonal tests

• Ultrasounds and ECG

• Chest X-ray

• Diabetes-related tests (for Type 2 patients)

Recovery Process:

Following surgery, Bridgette received detailed dietary advice from both her surgeon and a dietitian. For 15 days after her return home, she continued to have online follow-ups to ensure her recovery was progressing well.

Our team, including her dietitian, continued to support her remotely after this period. Bridgette expressed her satisfaction with the results, even before leaving the hospital.

Bridgette S. Patient Feedback:

Bridgette shared her excitement with us 17 days after surgery, when she sent a message saying: "From 75kg to 70kg in 2 weeks 💪." Her progress was a clear sign of her satisfaction with the treatment.

Medical History and Risks:

There were no significant health concerns or risk factors in Bridgette’s medical history. It had been nine years since her initial gastric band surgery in 2014, and there were no additional complications for her doctor to be concerned about.

Post-Treatment Follow-Up:

Bridgette will continue to be monitored for six months, with regular advice from her dietitian on maintaining a healthy diet and incorporating exercise to support her long-term health goals.

Alternative Options:

Since this was a gastric band revision, no other treatment options were considered.
