It is expected that after the gastric bypass procedure, most patients will lose about 60-80% of their excess body weight. This weight loss occurs within 9-12 months after surgery, although in some patients some weight gain is normal after 2-5 years.

In addition to weight loss, bariatric surgery has a beneficial effect on a large number of comorbidities such as type II diabetes, high blood pressure, acid reflux, obstructive sleep apnea, PCOS, joint pain, stress urinary incontinence. There have been improvements in psychosocial and depressive disorders after bariatric surgery. Top bariatric surgical centers such as the Cleveland Clinic have repeatedly demonstrated about 80% diabetes remission after bariatric surgery.

Benefits of Weight Loss Surgery

Severe obesity affects almost every organ in our body, and because of this, several problems arise, which have been mentioned below. Weight loss achieved with gastric bypass surgery is sustainable and can be maintained for several years after surgery. Most obesity-related problems resolve or improve after weight loss surgery. Those people who have lost weight through diet alone may not experience improvement in these problems because weight loss through diet is often short-lived.

Patients can easily and with pleasure carry out their routine activities and duties, as their mood improves significantly. Daily activities such as getting in and out of the car, walking in the garden, shopping for clothes that they couldn't do before can be easily done after bariatric surgery.
