Famous actor Tevfik Cemal İnceoğlu, known for the series and films he starred in, had a sleeve gastrectomy operation for his excessive weight and diabetes. Inceoglu's operation was performed by General Surgery Specialist Op. Dr Türker Karabuğa and his team.
Tevfik Cemal İnceoğlu, who became famous with the series Kaygısızlar, is also very popular with the character of Seyfi, which he played in the series called 'Aklın Başına Gelsin'.
The 'Crystal Apple Award-winning' actor, who is the general art director of his theatre, starred in the films 'Şenlik Name' and 'Sağ Salim' as well as popular commercials. Tevfik Cemal İnceoğlu, 53, decided to lose weight and get rid of diabetes and underwent gastric sleeve surgery in a private hospital in Izmir.
Diabetes had started to damage the eye
Giving information about the surgery, Op. Dr Türker Karabuğa said, "Tevfik Cemal İnceoğlu stated that his body mass index was 35.5 when he first applied to the hospital and that he was classified as grade 2 obesity and said, "Our patient's diabetes had reached a critical dimension.
Diabetes had started to damage the eye. We offered him surgery and our patient accepted it. We successfully performed a sleeve gastrectomy operation with laparoscopic method. Our patient was discharged after 3 nights of hospitalisation. We expect Tevfik Cemal İnceoğlu to lose approximately 15-25 kg in the first month.
He will undergo checks in 3-month periods. He will be followed up with a dietician. We wish him a speedy recovery and I would like to say that we will enjoy watching him again on the stages, on the white screen and in the series."
I have been obese for 33 years
In his statement after the operation, Tevfik Cemal İnceoğlu, who stated that he was very weak from his childhood years until he went to the military, but completed his military service by gaining a lot of weight on his return from military service, said, "I have been living as obese for about 33 years. I could not get myself from the taste.
Then I became diabetic. About 3 years ago, I met Dr Türker Karabuğa. I shared my concerns about the operation. There were 3 main reasons for not having an operation. Firstly, I enjoy eating very much. Secondly, I am very afraid of surgery.
Thirdly, I gained my popularity, which is very important for me, thanks to my weight. But by getting the best actor award in a commercial film I played, I realised that the skill was not in weight and decided on this surgery."
I'm Back to My Weight 30 Years Ago
"I am returning to my weight 30 years ago," said İnceoğlu, "I am very happy that I made this decision at the age of 53 and delayed it more. In this way, I got rid of my joint pain, walking difficulties and diabetes.
I have neither sleep apnoea nor the weight that has burdened me for years. I am glad that I met Dr Türker Karabuğa and decided on this surgery. I wish I had not waited 3 years. I would like to thank the whole team, especially Dr Türker Karabuğa. My advice to patients like me is definitely not to worry about this operation, "he said.
