Today, obesity is one of the most important health problems of developed and developing countries. The number of people struggling with obesity grows exponentially every year, when the fast food eating habit, which is used to keep up with the fast life, is combined with the inactivity brought by technology. In addition to the aesthetic discomfort, obesity, which plays a role in the development of many types of acute or chronic fatal diseases, is almost seen as one of the biggest obstacles to a healthy life.
Fortunately, the problem of obesity, which can be prevented with a healthy diet and an active lifestyle, can be treated with medical methods developed today. We have examined all aspects of obesity treatment, which has revolutionized the lives of patients, especially with surgical treatment methods.

What is Obesity?
As a result of the increase in the fat tissue in the body, the whole of the diseases that cause the person to experience health problems is called obesity. Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation based on height and weight are used to determine obesity. As a result of these calculations, over 30 are defined as obese, over 40 as morbidly obese, and over 50 as super obese by the World Health Organization.
How Is Obesity Treated? How Is It Determined Which Method To Use In The Treatment?
Before the treatment of obesity, the health status of the patients is evaluated from a multidisciplinary perspective. After the examinations, the waist circumference of the patient and the calculations made with the methods used by the World Health Organization, the physicians decide what course to follow for the treatment. While some patients get rid of this problem with diet and sports, some patients may require surgical treatment.

Turkey is the Center in Obesity Treatment!
One of the strongest areas of Turkey, which is considered among the top 10 countries in the world in health tourism, is obesity treatment. Having specialist doctors, dietitians and surgeons pointed out by the world in bariatric surgery, Turkey is especially preferred by Europe with its qualified and comfortable hospitals. Turkey offers a relaxing holiday opportunity for patients as it is a real tourism paradise, which foreign patients trust with its price advantages as well as quality service.
Due to the increase in obesity in the world and the global crisis, most of the European countries have changed their health policies and decided to exclude many treatments in this field from the insurance coverage. Many patients, who had to pay the high costs of this long-term treatment, were deprived of this treatment. Turkey, on the other hand, has preferred to be a center where these transactions can be carried out with much more economical costs by completely arranging its price policy in accordance with the policies of developing health tourism. In this way, even with a rough calculation, it seems that the entire cost of accommodation, flight and treatment for patients coming to Turkey for treatment is lower than the cost of treatment in their own country. This makes Turkey inevitable for treatment.

What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery, which is one of the most applied surgical interventions today, is the process of cutting the stomach into a thin long tube with the closed surgery method. Thus, the food intake of the stomach is restricted and the urge to eat decreases. In addition, with this operation, insulin resistance is broken without even weight loss.

Since stomach reduction surgery is performed with a laparoscopic procedure, there will be no situation that will greatly affect the daily life of the patient. It takes about 1 week for the stitches to heal completely. In other words, the patient can carry out her/his daily activities and continue her/his life from where she/he left off without much pressure or forcing her/his stomach. The total healing process is of course not limited to 1 week. There are also some diet programs that should be applied after the surgery and supplements that should be used.
