After struggling with her weight for years and try After struggling with her weight for years and trying countless methods, Caroline decided to take the step that changed her life — a gastric sleeve surgery at Istanbul Obesity Center.
Today, she celebrates an incredible transformation of 152 lbs lost and a brand new, healthy lifestyle! 💙

"Today I can finally say it — I reached my goal! After my gastric sleeve surgery and more than two years of hard work, I’m officially 152 lbs lighter. There were times I thought I’d never make it, but here I am — healthier, stronger, and happier than ever. From wearing size 24/26 pants to a size 10, and from 4XL tops to M/L. This journey truly gave me my life back. Thank you to my amazing surgical team for helping me start over!"

Gastric sleeve surgery (also known as sleeve gastr Gastric sleeve surgery (also known as sleeve gastrectomy) helps patients lose weight by reducing the stomach size by about 80%. But the results vary from person to person — depending on your starting weight, lifestyle, and diet discipline.

📉 On average:
📌Patients lose 60–70% of their excess weight within the first 12 months.
📌Some patients reach up to 80% excess weight loss with consistent follow-up.
📌Long-term success depends on healthy eating habits and professional follow-up.

👩‍⚕️ Remember: Gastric sleeve surgery is not just a procedure — it’s the start of a healthier life. 💪

Here’s the good news: Most patients are up and w Here’s the good news: Most patients are up and walking within 4–6 hours after surgery! You’ll typically stay in the hospital for 2 nights and return to your hotel feeling better each day. 💪

By the end of the first week, many patients are walking longer distances, sipping fluids comfortably, and feeling surprisingly good. Within 2–3 weeks, you can get back to work (especially if it’s a desk job) — and by 4–6 weeks, you’ll feel like yourself again — but healthier, lighter, and more energetic. 💃

Recovery isn’t just about healing your body — it’s about discovering a whole new you.

🌟 Transformation isn’t just about the weight 🌟 Transformation isn’t just about the weight you lose – it’s about the life you gain. 🌟

At her heaviest, she was 260 lbs. On surgery day, 240 lbs. Today? She’s standing proud at 140 lbs – full of energy, confidence, and gratitude. 💙

Choosing gastric sleeve surgery was more than just a decision about her health. It was a turning point. Today, she enjoys life fully with her family, works a physically demanding job she loves, and for the first time, all her health markers are completely normal. 🙌

She shared with us that she finally feels free – free from the weight that held her back, both physically and emotionally.

✨ “This has changed every part of my life. And I wouldn’t change a thing.” ✨

Our patient experiences at Istanbul Obesity Center Our patient experiences at Istanbul Obesity Center are truly wonderful! 🏥

One of our patients shared how, although they felt a bit nervous at first, the procedure turned out to be much easier than expected. Thanks to our coordinator’s friendly and supportive approach, they felt truly cared for the entire time and left with no regrets. In fact, they're already planning to bring a friend from London who’s 100% convinced to come along!

We’re so grateful for this lovely feedback from our patient and proud of our team for making every experience so positive!
Weight loss injections may sound like a quick fix, Weight loss injections may sound like a quick fix, but for individuals with obesity or those aiming to lose more than just a few kilos, relying on injections alone often leads to disappointment and wasted money. 💉❌

The most effective and sustainable approach is combining weight loss injections with a non-surgical gastric balloon. 🎯 This powerful duo works hand in hand: the balloon helps control appetite and portion sizes, while the injections support metabolism and long-term results.

Together, they create a safe and non-surgical pathway to achieving your weight loss goals. 🌟
