Gastric sleeve surgery may be indicated for those who have a body mass index between 35-40 and those who have diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea caused by obesity.
In this method, called sleeve gastrectomy, 85% of the stomach is cut and removed with the help of a stapler, and the stomach volume is reduced below 100 ml.
In addition to reducing the stomach volume, weight loss begins rapidly thanks to the removal of the part that secretes the hunger hormone called the fundus. Most of the excess weight is lost between 1-1.5 years. During this process, a loss of 40-50 kilos is targeted.
Patients usually do not experience any major problems. Complication rate is 2%. Since the operation is performed with the closed technique, the patient can move their body right after the surgery. It is sufficient to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days.
After the operation, the stomach, which goes below 100 ml, expands a little. If the recommendations of the doctor and dietitian are not followed, the stomach can quickly expand more than necessary. Lost weight can quickly be regained.
After the first 7 days after the operation, only liquid nutrition is followed by puree and solid diet, respectively. Protein, vitamin and mineral supplements are often recommended in the first months after the operation.
The time to reach the ideal weight after obesity surgeries is 1-1.5 years. Performing aesthetic surgeries after reaching the ideal weight increases the success rate.
In order to obtain more satisfactory results in such aesthetic surgeries, it would be appropriate to have a body mass index below 30.
It is sufficient to stay in the hospital for 1-2 nights after operations such as breast prosthesis, tummy tuck and liposuction.
A corset should be used for 6 weeks after plastic surgery.
It is impossible to provide cure after surgery at every stage. However, it is possible to prolong the surveillance (survival time) with surgeries to be performed according to the cancer type.
Most cancers are caused by environmental factors such as smoking and alcohol use, malnutrition, and air pollution. Having a family history of certain cancers increases the risk.

Causes of goiter include iodine deficiency, overworking of the thyroid gland, laziness of the thyroid gland, nodules in the thyroid gland and cancer.

Not every complaint in the breast is an indicator of cancer. Fibroadenoma is the first thing that comes to mind in round, mobile and smooth-edged masses that occur in the breast especially at young ages. Nipple discharge is the discharge of fluid formed in the breast canals. Only 2-15% of nipple discharges are risky.
