Associate Professor Dr Hasan Erdem received his medical education at the Istanbul Medical School of Istanbul University, graduating in 2002. He completed general surgery training in 2008, and obligatory services to the State in 2011. After that, he undertook studies in Advanced Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery, establishing his own private clinic in 2016. He was granted the title of Association Professor of Obesity and Metabolic Conditions in 2018.

Working alongside a committed team that comprises a general surgeon and bariatric dietician, the facility aims to help patients achieve their goals of losing weight and regaining their health with non-surgical treatments, such as Gastric Botox, which slows the digestion of food in the stomach, providing a sensation of fullness for a longer period of time.

Also on hand are international coordinators to assist patients from Germany, the UK and other countries.

Treatments:

Bariatric surgery options include:

- Sleeve Gastrectomy: A procedure in which 80% of the stomach is removed, as well as the gastric fundus, where the hunger hormone (ghrelin) is released. Patients subsequently lose their appetite which promotes rapid weight loss.

- Gastric Balloon: An expandable balloon is inflated in the stomach, creating a feeling of fullness and reduced appetite.

- Gastric Bypass: A small pouch is created to shrink the stomach and bypass a segment of the small intestine, which combines food restriction and malabsorption to promote weight loss.
