Obesity is one of the most significant health problems negatively affecting the modern world, typically originating from lifestyle and chronic illnesses.
The evaluation of obesity as a medical/health issue, as opposed to simply being cosmetic is very important. The target is not only losing weight, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle after achieving the most ideal weight for you.
In recent years, with advanced technology, an ideal weight and long-term solution can be achieved for individuals who suffer from morbid obesity.
Surgery for morbid obesity is the most long-term and effective treatment method, not only for obesity itself, but also for Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, liver disease resulting from fatty tissue rather than alcohol, sleep apnea and various metabolic diseases.
Dr. Halil Coskun employs his services in two different hospitals, Medical Park Hospital Group, a JCI accredited hospital approximately 5.5 km from Istanbul International Ataturk Airport and Bayek Levent, a boutique hospital in Levent, Istanbul's most posh business district.
Gastric Banding
Gastric Banding, is a surgical procedure, also known as an adjustable gastric lap band, refers to an adjustable band that is placed around the top part of the stomach.
The band can be adjusted by adding or removing a saline solution that either tightens or loosens the band. The procedure dramatically reduces the capacity of the stomach to hold food and the passage of food through the stomach is slowed down.
This reduces feelings of hunger so you feel full faster and after eating less. It is known as the lap band because it is performed using a technique called laparoscopic, or “key- hole”, surgery. What makes this procedure special — it is an adjustable and reversible gastric bypass.
How much weight will I lose after gastric banding?How much weight you lose actually depends on your diet and how strict you are after the band. Some people lose all their excess weight, but others may only lose a little by consuming very high calorie foods and drinks.How will I maintain my weight after the gastric banding procedure?Maintaining a healthy weight after lap band surgery is manageable as long as you match your caloric intake to your caloric expenditure. The amount of calories your body requires will diminish as you lose weight. Once your caloric intake catches up with our caloric expenditure, you will stop losing weight.What complications are associated with gastric banding?
Gastric Balloon
A gastric balloon procedure is a non-surgical treatment to help you lose weight. It works by making you feel full after eating only a little and reduces your stomach’s capacity to hold food. You eat less and don’t feel hungry. A gastric balloon may be ideal for you if you are looking for a temporary weight loss solution.
A gastric balloon will help you to lose weight but for the best weight loss results, it needs to be combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical procedure that helps you to lose weight by reducing the size and capacity of the stomach. It is a permanent procedure that results in the stomach being about 15% of its original size. The intestines are not removed or bypassed and so food is absorbed in the same way but after a sleeve gastrectomy you feel full quickly and hunger pangs are reduced.
This is because the part of the stomach that is removed in a sleeve gastrectomy is the part that is most likely to expand and allow the patient to eat more. Sleeve gastrectomy also reduces the level of ghrelin, the so-called “hunger hormone”, so hunger pangs are significantly reduced.
Sleeve gastrectomy is sometimes offered to patients whose Body Mass Index, or BMI, is too high for other types of surgery to be performed. For example, if your BMI is over 50 your doctor may recommend a sleeve gastrectomy to help you lose weight before undertaking other surgery, such as a gastric bypass.
Sleeve gastrectomy is also a good option when a patient has complicated health needs, such as a heart or lung problems, as well as being overweight.
