A Treatment Journey Combining Bariatric Surgery and Spine Care
A couple from Ghana arrived at Başkent Konya Hospital seeking treatment for two different health conditions that had been affecting their daily lives for years.
The wife had been struggling with obesity and its associated health challenges, which impacted her mobility and overall quality of life. Following comprehensive medical evaluations, she underwent sleeve gastrectomy surgery as part of a personalized treatment plan aimed at achieving sustainable and healthy weight loss.
The procedure was performed successfully, and the early results were encouraging. Within just nine days after surgery, she had already lost 7 kilograms, accompanied by noticeable improvements in mobility and daily activity levels.
Her husband, on the other hand, was suffering from a spinal condition and chronic back pain that affected his comfort and ability to carry out normal daily activities. After detailed examinations and assessments, an appropriate treatment plan was implemented, leading to a significant improvement in his symptoms and overall condition.
Throughout their stay in Turkey, the couple was closely followed by Dr. Omer Ali Kerkuklu, who monitored their medical progress and ensured that both treatment plans were proceeding as intended, while providing continuous medical guidance throughout the process.
Ms. Roaa Saad Aldin also accompanied the patients throughout their treatment journey, coordinating medical and administrative procedures and helping ensure a smooth and comfortable experience from arrival to departure.
At the end of their treatment, the couple expressed their satisfaction with the results achieved and the care they received, leaving Başkent Konya Hospital in good condition and looking forward to a healthier future.
