Mr. Atanas Ivanov Bozhinov from the city of Varna, Bulgaria contacted our international patient services department after coming across our publications on social media. During the conducted conversations, he shared with us that he had problems with excess weight, had complaints such as elevated blood sugar levels, and was experiencing difficulties in performing his daily activities. After the conversations with Mr. Bozhinov, based on the information he shared, a preliminary consultation was held with Op. Dr. Ferudun BIKMAZ – Specialist in General and Bariatric Surgery, and the patient was invited to our hospital for detailed investigations.
Upon his arrival at our hospital, Mr. Bozhinov case was taken over by Op. Dr. Ferudun BIKMAZ. After a series of physical examinations by specialists from various fields and detailed investigations, based on the current condition of the patient, the "Sleeve Gastrectomy" procedure was recommended.
During the ultrasound examination, which is part of the routine preoperative preparation, it was found that Mr. Bozhinov gallbladder was inflamed due to the presence of gallstones that had mechanically blocked the bile duct. Based on the data obtained from the preoperative preparation and the patient wish, a decision was made to perform a laparoscopic surgical intervention aimed at resolving both of the patient problems during a single operation.
After Mr. Bozhinov received the approval of our Anesthesiology and Reanimation specialists, the surgical intervention proceeded. The intervention was performed laparoscopically, with the gallbladder being removed first, followed by the "Sleeve Gastrectomy" procedure.
After the successfully completed intervention, the patient was taken to his hospital room and remained under medical observation for 5 days. During his stay at our hospital, the patient was provided with detailed information and recommendations by our nutrition and dietetics specialist – Cigdem Kiral. After the monitoring was completed, our patient was discharged from the hospital in good general condition.
Five months after the surgical intervention, Mr. Atanas Ivanov Bozhinov shared his current weight with us. He stated that he had lost 41 kilograms in 5 months and that he no longer needed to use medication for high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. The difficulties he had been experiencing in his daily activities were a thing of the past.
We wish Mr. Bozhinov a new life filled with health and happy moments.
