Op.Dr.Türker Karabuğa | Can Obesity Surgery be Performed on Heart Patients?

Hello there. We continue to answer questions from our patients. Another question is can heart patients undergo obesity surgery? As we apply to all our obese patients, we put our heart patients through a detailed check up and a detailed cardiological examination. After this examination, if there is no surgical disability related to heart disease, there is no harm in undergoing bariatric surgery. On the contrary, thanks to the weight lost after bariatric surgery, the number and doses of medications used due to heart disease are reduced. Heart disease is even more relieved. Cardiologists also recommend that heart patients with obesity undergo bariatric surgery if possible.
