Hello, my name is Adam, and I underwent mini gastric bypass surgery in July 2023. At my heaviest, I weighed 36 stone, which marked the culmination of years of struggling with my weight. But my decision to undergo surgery wasn’t just about the physical aspect – my mental health had also been severely impacted by my past.
For years, I wrestled with anger issues and a deep lack of self-confidence. This often led to me projecting my frustrations onto those closest to me. Despite trying every diet under the sun, nothing seemed to work, and the loss of my mother in 2011 hit me especially hard. It was a pivotal moment that sent me into a downward spiral, resulting in even more significant weight gain.
When I decided to travel to Adana to see Dr. Tuna Bilecik, it wasn’t just because of my weight; it was about taking back control of my life. Honestly, I wasn’t particularly apprehensive about undergoing weight loss surgery – it simply felt like the necessary next step. It was either that, or continue down a path that could ultimately have led to my early demise. I knew I had to make a change.
Since the surgery, my life has transformed in ways I never imagined. I now have the confidence to ride rollercoasters, and I no longer need to book two seats on a plane or use a seatbelt extender. I can comfortably sit in a regular restaurant seat, even in booths! My confidence has soared, and I’ve become a much more pleasant person to be around.
In hindsight, my only regret is not having this surgery sooner. The positive impact it’s had on my life is hard to fully comprehend.
The entire experience with Dr. Tuna and his team has been nothing short of remarkable. The staff are not only highly skilled but also incredibly compassionate, and it’s reassuring to know they’ve walked the same path you’re about to take. Speaking with Dr. Tuna before the surgery was invaluable and gave me much-needed clarity and confidence.
