Bariatric surgery is not merely an operation; it is a life-changing journey toward your future. In this challenging process, trusting the right physician and team is critically important. With our professional experience, my teammates and I offer you reliable guidance throughout this process.
As Prof. Dr. Taner Yiğit, I believe that the foundation of surgical success lies not only in professional experience and case-based expertise but also in commitment to patients and an empathy-centered approach. As Prof. Dr. Taner Yiğit and his team, we determine the most appropriate treatment plan by considering the individual needs of each patient. We conduct a detailed pre-operative assessment to identify the safest and most suitable method for you.
In the post-operative period, we do not leave you alone; we closely monitor your health and guide you through your recovery process. My teammates and I play a vital role not only during the surgical procedure but also in the subsequent support and follow-up phase. Our main objective is to stand by you not just as a doctor and a team, but as a member of your family.
Throughout your treatment journey, you are not just patients we assist, but individuals accepted as one of our own. At every step, we prioritize offering you the support and trust you deserve, sharing your concerns, and also supporting your emotional needs.
Knowing that you are not alone on this important path is one of the key factors supporting the success of your treatment.
You, too, can confidently take a step towards regaining your health in this warm and supportive environment. As we always say: “Believe in Change.”…
Weight loss surgery is a serious operation that alters the normal anatomy of the digestive system. It is performed on patients who, despite all their best efforts, are unable to lose weight on their own and whose excess weight has exceeded certain limits. This limit is a body mass index of over 30 kg/m².
Although it varies depending on the type of surgery to be performed, the average surgery duration ranges from 45 minutes to 3 hours. Following surgery, you will wake up in the operating theatre and be transferred to your bed on the ward, where your monitoring and treatment will continue. We discharge you from hospital after approximately 2-4 days following surgery, once we consider you to be free from all surgical risks.
We would like you to get up and walk around 6-8 hours after your operation. Walking and movement should begin with support and over short distances, gradually increasing. As you will be undergoing laparoscopic surgery, you will be able to carry out almost all your daily activities independently the morning after the operation.
The answer to this question can only be given after evaluating many factors, such as your current excess weight and whether you have any obesity-related comorbidities (type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnoea, joint disorders, etc.). In summary, as each patient has unique characteristics, we determine the type of surgery and treatment plan after a detailed evaluation.

Before commencing the treatment process, the ‘Introduction and initial assessment’ is crucial for the healthy progression of subsequent stages. This allows our patient to get to know us and form a preliminary idea about who they will entrust themselves to, obtain information about their treatment, alleviate their concerns about surgery to some extent, and, more importantly, enables us to gather important preliminary information about how we can assist our patient and plan for the more detailed preparations and treatment that will follow.
During this process, we develop a comprehensive and patient-specific treatment plan for our patient. Based on the patient's condition and symptoms, a decision is made as to which treatment (surgical or non-surgical) is the appropriate option. Prior to the operation, the treatment options, risks and benefits of surgery are discussed in detail with the patient. The patient makes an informed decision about the surgery, and the preparation process for the operation is initiated. Subsequently, preoperative preparatory tests are planned and performed.
On the day of the operation, the patient follows the pre-operative instructions and is admitted to the hospital. Prof. Dr. Taner Yiğit and the surgical team perform the operation as planned. It is crucial to support a successful operation with meticulous post-operative care. Therefore, the team works diligently to ensure the patient receives the best possible post-operative care.
After surgery, the patient is taken to their bed on the ward and the recovery process begins. Depending on the nature of your surgery, you will stay in hospital for 1-3 days after surgery. On the day of discharge, you will receive detailed information and documentation covering the medication you will use, dietary and exercise recommendations, and your follow-up appointments, after which you will be discharged from hospital. Following this, depending on the nature of your surgery, the process of regular follow-up examinations begins.
