Fethi Sekin City Hospital is becoming a preferred choice for expatriate and foreign patients due to its success in obesity treatment. Recently, an obesity surgery was performed on a family of six from Artvin, and the family was discharged in good health.
Fethi Sekin City Hospital, one of the reliable faces of Turkey’s healthcare sector, has become a preferred choice for expatriate and foreign patients due to its success in obesity treatment. For patients who cannot overcome obesity through diet, exercise, and medication and suffer from related conditions such as hypertension, heart, liver, diabetes, muscle, and skeletal issues, the sleeve gastrectomy, commonly known as stomach reduction, is successfully performed as a surgical procedure aimed at weight loss at Fethi Sekin City Hospital. Recently, obesity surgery was performed on family members who applied from Artvin by General Surgery Clinic’s Op. Dr. Nizamettin Kutluer. A family of six, including siblings, a niece, a mother, and a son, applied to the Obesity Surgery Center. As a result of the examinations, sleeve gastrectomy was performed on the family members by Uzm. Op. Dr. Nizamettin Kutluer from the General Surgery Clinic. The family, whose surgeries were successfully completed, was discharged in good health and sent back to their hometown.
Op. Dr. Kutluer, who performed the successful operations on the family, stated, “I am engaged in obesity surgery, which is another method of overcoming one of the biggest problems of our age, obesity. Fethi Sekin City Hospital is preferred by many patients due to being a fully equipped hospital. I would like to mention a patient portfolio from the recent weeks where we performed surgery. I am talking about a family of six from Artvin. They have heard about us, that our hospital is fully equipped and a magnificent hospital, and when they learned about our success in this surgery, they came together as relatives. A family of six, including a sister, niece, mother, and son, came from the Black Sea region to choose Fethi Sekin City Hospital and us for this surgery. We successfully performed their surgeries. We discharged them in good health to ensure follow-up. Our patients were a very happy and cheerful group, and they even wrote poetry for our hospital and me. I thank them for that. The preference for our hospital honors and makes us proud. All these patients choose our hospital to overcome obesity. In recent years, we have developed further, becoming an obesity center. After all surgeries, when our patients meet other patients or people in their cities, they recommend our hospital and us, and we are preferred more every day. I would like to thank our hospital for providing this opportunity. I want to state that we will always be here to fight against obesity and help every patient.”
One of the family members who underwent surgery, 19-year-old Safa Erkılıç, stated, “I am 19 years old. About a month ago, my uncle İbrahim Erkılıç had surgery here and experienced no pain after the operation. This process continued very quickly. My uncle lost about 16-17 kilos in almost a month. After seeing him, we, as five people, came from Artvin. We wanted to have surgery because we are all overweight. My mother came with me as an attendant. After the doctor saw my mother, he decided that there were no obstacles for her surgery. After seeing the patients who had surgery here, my mother felt relieved and decided to have surgery too. Thank God, now we lack nothing. Especially, since we arrived here, the doctors and other personnel have always been by our side for necessary tests, necessary tasks, and even for sightseeing. May God bless them all. We were very satisfied as doctors, as a hospital, and as staff. We thank you. When I first tried to make an appointment here, my aunt said, ‘Take this number, you can message to get an appointment here.’ It turned out to be the doctor’s personal number. I have never seen such attention before.
