Have you already tried everything to permanently reduce your weight? Not just to feel good in your own body again, but rather to steer your health back in the right direction? You suffer from obesity and want to do something about it? – No problem, our Aesthetic Travel Team in Antalya is the right place for you! We will be happy to advise you on stomach operations, correlating costs, treatment procedures, etc. Just ask us! One of the restrictive treatment methods in the form of gastric surgery in Turkey is the gastric band. One of our specialist surgeons will put this around your stomach using a minimally invasive technique. Under general anesthesia and with laparoscopy, the operation uses the so-called “keyhole method”. Keyhole method means that only a few incisions are necessary in your abdominal wall to then place the band around the upper part of the stomach. This divides the stomach into two parts, creating a pre-stomach. Due to the small volume of the created front stomach section (size of a tennis ball), not so much food can be taken in. If too much should be eaten, there is unpleasant pressure in the upper abdomen and neck, which quickly leads to nausea and vomiting.
In general one speaks of a successful therapy by means of gastric band, if the patient decreases in approximately ½ kilo per week. More specifically, if approximately 50% of the excess weight is reduced by this form of treatment.
With the help of the gastric band used in Turkey, you can gain a new quality of life that you did not know before.

You will gain more self-confidence and radiate it! With the help of the gastric band, new doors are opened without major anatomical changes taking place in your body. Let us advise you in detail in Antalya!
Gastric Band in Turkey is made of silicone and is hollow inside. It is wrapped around the upper part of the stomach so that a so-called pre-stomach is formed, which is only about the size of a table tennis ball. If the pre-stomach is stretched by the intake of food, it signals a feeling of satiety. The feeling of hunger is, therefore, suppressed and, thus, helps you to reduce weight. The gastric band is also connected via a small tube to a port system which is implanted under the skin. Liquid can be filled into the belt with a special needle to regulate the degree of gastric constriction. The more liquid is injected, the more the stomach becomes constricted.
A gastric ligament operation is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes. The stay in the clinic is usually three to five days. The operation is performed as a keyhole operation, which means that a total of five skin incisions of about two centimetres in size are made through which the camera and instruments are inserted. For the port, which is placed under the skin at the lower end of the sternum, a slightly larger incision is also necessary. After about one month, the port is punctured for the first time to inject a few millimeters of liquid. For this purpose, an X-ray contrast medium is usually used, which is visible in the X-ray image in order to be able to quickly detect possible leaks. These injections are usually painless.
The astric band is suitable for people with a BMI over 40. If you also suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea, gastric band surgery makes sense from a BMI of 35. However, you can only undergo this procedure if all non-operative measures, such as exercise training or nutritional advice, have not been sufficiently successful for six to twelve months.
In general, you can take prescribed medication as usual. Only very large tablets should be shredded so that they do not cause problems such as nausea if they get stuck. It is advisable to refrain from aspirin and painkillers in general, as they can lead to stomach irritation.
This is theoretically possible. Normally, however, it is not desirable, as removal of the gastric band in most cases leads to renewed weight gain.
With the gastric band you lose weight slowly but steadily if you follow the new way of life permanently and constantly. Since rapid weight loss is a health risk, this gentle method is far more effective. Within the first 12 to 18 months you can lose up to 1 kilo per month.
As weight loss regulates your menstrual cycle, you may become pregnant more easily. The band can be loosened during pregnancy so that you can eat more food again. After that it will be tightened again.
