Postoperative Follow-up
- After 1-2 days of home/hotel rest after discharge, our patients are checked at the hospital and made ready for travel.
- In addition, the postoperative nutrition stages of the patients are followed by the obesity surgery dietitian. The most important health service in our team is lifelong dietitian follow-up. In this follow-up, your compliance is evaluated by your dietitian. Providing long-term nutritional support prevents the risk of postoperative weight gain and facilitates the detection of nutrient deficiencies that may develop despite medical supplements.
- It is important to regularly share your food consumption status and body weight with your dietitian to prevent weight gain and gain healthy lifestyle habits.
- For regular follow-up, you will have your blood tests done at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year, and you will also be in contact with your doctor.
