Gastric reduction surgery typically takes between 1 and 2 hours. The duration of the surgery may vary depending on the patient's condition and the surgical technique used.

A hospital stay of 2-3 days is generally expected after surgery. This duration may vary depending on the patient's recovery process and overall health condition.

Most patients can return to their daily activities within 2-3 weeks. Full recovery may take 4-6 weeks. The recovery process varies depending on the patient's overall health and compliance with the surgery.

The post-operative nutritional plan involves a gradual transition from liquid foods to soft and then solid foods. A personalized nutrition program is created in consultation with a nutritionist. Adequate protein intake and vitamin supplementation are important.

If lifestyle changes after surgery are not followed, weight gain may occur in the long term. Regular exercise, healthy eating habits, and regular medical check-ups are important for the lasting results.

Regular postoperative follow-up is critical for the early detection of potential complications, monitoring nutritional status, identifying vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and providing necessary support. Regular check-ups are essential for successful outcomes.
