Best weight loss surgery for fast results?
Hi,my BMI is 36 and doctor's have told me I need to loose weight for my health. I lost some weight dieting but now that doesn't seem to be helping so I'm looking at weight loss surgery. What I want to know is which surgery will give me the fastest results?

Hi ,Thank you for your question. My name is Ilhan. I’m the patient coordinator for Memorial Hizmet Hospital ISTANBUL-TURKEY.
Tugrul Demirel,MD,Bariatric Surgeon,answered your question as follows;
"If you do have co-morbidities like diabetes, asthma, hiperlipidemia or high blood pressure you may have bariatric/obesity surgery. We prominently recommend a restrictive procedure like Band or sleeve. If you do not have any co morbidities, than we recommend you diet and exercise program. An intra gastric balloon might help your weight loss program in this case."
