Surgical reversal of Type 2 diabetes in Turkey

Treatment: Gastric bypass
Provider: Esteurope Hospital
Date: Mar 2019

Samuel R. no longer needs medication for Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure following gastric bypass surgery at Esteurope Hospital in Izmir, Turkey.

"I was a strong kid in primary school. Weight gain continued in secondary school. I had my first dietitian interview in middle school. Up to the age I am now, I was always trying to lose weight. My most successful diet was the 6-7 months' strict diet program I undertook before going abroad in 2004. I was doing 2 hours a day. My weight went down from 137 kg to 80 kg. Then I went to Amsterdam and lived there for 5 years. When I returned to London, I weighed 183 kg .

On May 17, 2018, I underwent gastric bypass surgery at Esteurope Hospital. After the operation, my sugar and blood pressure values dropped, and I no longer needed insulin and blood pressure pills. I previously had a lot of snoring at night, and afterwards I was sleeping so quietly that my mother needed to check to see if I was okay at night.

I'm in adaptation now. I just wish I had this surgery earlier."
