The obesity surgery method is suitable for people who have applied all other treatment methods before the surgery but have not been successful. The patient should be evaluated with all relevant units before undergoing a surgical procedure and should be suitable for surgery in terms of anesthesia. Patient selection is made according to body mass index. If the body mass index is over 40, the patient can be operated. If it is between 35 and 40, if there is an additional disease (such as hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea syndrome, high triglyceride heart disease, hypoventilation syndrome, fatty liver), if the body mass index is between 30 and 35, blood sugar cannot be controlled by medical treatments, Type 2 Diabetes patients may be offered surgery.
