From 105kg to 68kg. 37kg lost. One life changed.

She plateaued at 72kg for 4 months. Most people give up at that point.
She didn't.

"I've never seen the 60s on a scale. I want to." — One month later, she did.
Gastric sleeve surgery is a tool, not a magic fix. The real work starts inside the patient — long before the operating table.

At Istanbul Obesity Center, we've been providing the right environment, the right team, and the right support for 22 years.

One of our patients went from 105kg to 68kg after gastric sleeve before and after surgery in Turkey. Read her honest story about recovery and life transformation at Istanbul Obesity Center.

Started at 105kg. Now 68kg. 🩷

For the first time in her life, she is just one kilo away from being in the “healthy” BMI range — and yes, while BMI is not perfect, seeing that word next to her name means something deeply personal.

Gastric sleeve surgery is not a magic fix.
It is a tool.

The real transformation comes with discipline, consistency, patience, and choosing yourself again and again — even when the scale gets stuck, even when motivation drops, even when old habits try to come back.

After being stuck at 72kg for 4 months, she decided to push herself one more time.
Her goal was simple: to finally see the 60s on the scale.

And she did it. ✨

More confidence.
More freedom.
No more dreading shopping.
No more feeling limited by size.

This journey is not only about losing weight.
It is about gaining your life back.

Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Gastric sleeve surgery is a powerful weight loss tool, but long-term success still depends on lifestyle, nutrition, and follow-up.

Some people may regain weight after gastric sleeve surgery because of:

• Returning to old eating habits
• Frequent snacking or high-calorie drinks
• Lack of protein intake
• Emotional eating
• Not being physically active
• Skipping regular follow-ups
• Gradually increasing portion sizes over time

The surgery helps reduce stomach capacity, but it does not remove habits. This is why post-operative support, dietitian guidance, and long-term motivation are essential.

At Istanbul Obesity Center, we support our patients not only during the surgery process, but also throughout their weight loss journey. Sustainable results come from the right procedure, the right guidance, and the right mindset. ✨

Weight stalled after gastric sleeve surgery?

It's called the plateau phase — and nearly every patient goes through it.

Not a failure. Not a complication. Just your body adapting.
