The Weight Loss Puzzle

Losing weight can often feel like trying to put together a picture with broken pieces. You may have tried countless diets, and exercise programs, and even considered surgical options. While traditional methods help some individuals, many end up back where they started. This is where Apollo Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) steps in—a refreshed, effective approach to weight loss.

Why Turkey is Leading the Way in Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty?

Turkey has emerged as a leading destination for ESG, thanks to its advanced healthcare facilities, highly skilled medical professionals, and cost-effective treatments. The country is synonymous with high standards and patient-centered care, making it an ideal place to undergo this ultra-modern procedure. Patients often find that the level of care and the success rates of procedures in Turkey are comparable, if not better, than in more expensive countries.

What is Apollo Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty?

Apollo Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a revolutionary weight loss procedure that involves suturing the stomach from the inside to reduce its size. This innovative method limits food intake and promotes weight loss without the need for surgical incisions. Here's how it works:

Endoscopic Access: The procedure starts with the insertion of an endoscope—a flexible tube equipped with a camera and specialized instruments—through the mouth and into the stomach. This allows the doctor to see inside the stomach and perform the necessary steps.

Stomach Suturing: Using the endoscope's suturing device, the doctor places a series of stitches along the inside of the stomach, creating a sleeve-like shape. This reduces the stomach's volume by about 70-80%, significantly limiting the amount of food it can hold.

Stomach Reduction: The stomach is transformed into a smaller, tube-like structure, which helps patients feel full more quickly and stay satisfied for longer periods.

Why Choose Apollo Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty?

Minimally Invasive: Apollo ESG is performed endoscopically, meaning no surgical incisions are required. This approach significantly reduces recovery time and minimizes the risks typically associated with traditional bariatric surgery.

Effective Weight Loss: Proven to help patients lose significant weight and maintain it, Apollo ESG offers a long-term solution for those struggling with obesity.

Quick Recovery: Unlike traditional surgeries, Apollo ESG allows for a faster return to daily activities with minimal discomfort.

Benefits of Apollo Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty

Safe and Effective: Apollo ESG has been clinically validated for substantial weight loss, making it a reliable option for those looking to shed pounds and improve their overall health.

Outpatient Procedure: Most patients can go home the same day, allowing them to recover in the comfort of their own homes.

Enhanced Quality of Life: Beyond weight loss, many patients experience a significant improvement in obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Enhanced mobility, increased energy levels, and boosted self-esteem are additional benefits reported by Apollo ESG patients.

How to Prepare for Apollo Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty?

Preparation is key to ensuring the success of your Apollo ESG procedure. Here's what you need to know:

Medical Consultation: The consultation with a specialist involves evaluating your medical history, conducting tests, and discussing weight loss goals. This step is crucial in determining your eligibility for Apollo ESG.

Dietary Changes: You may be advised to follow a special diet for several weeks before the procedure to prepare your stomach. This often involves a liquid diet or other nutritional recommendations to decrease the size of your liver and condition the site of the procedure.

Mental Preparation: Weight loss is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. It's important to have realistic expectations and be prepared for significant lifestyle changes. Support from counselors or support groups can be very helpful.

Lifestyle Modifications: Apollo ESG is not a diet but a weight loss tool. Maintaining weight loss requires a commitment to a healthy diet and regular exercise for long-term success.

Important Considerations

Before undergoing Apollo ESG, it's essential to understand all the benefits and risks associated with the procedure. Although Apollo ESG is generally recognized as safe and minimally invasive compared to other surgeries, it is still a medical procedure that carries potential risks and side effects, such as bleeding, infection, and gastrointestinal issues. It's important to have a clear understanding of the expected results and to commit to the necessary lifestyle changes to achieve and maintain your weight loss goals.

Results and Post-Procedure

After undergoing Apollo ESG, you can expect a relatively quick recovery. Most patients can be discharged home the same day or the following morning. Initially, you will need to adhere to a strict liquid diet, gradually introducing solid foods over several weeks. Following these dietary restrictions is crucial for proper healing and maximizing the benefits of the procedure.

Most patients begin to see dramatic weight loss within the first couple of months. The amount of weight loss will depend on your starting weight, adherence to dietary guidelines, and commitment to a healthier lifestyle. On average, patients can experience a 15% to 20% reduction in body weight within the first year.

Beyond weight loss, Apollo ESG offers additional health benefits, including the resolution of obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Many patients also report enhanced mobility, increased energy levels, and improved self-esteem.
