Mr. Atanas Atanasov from the city of Sliven, Republic of Bulgaria, contacted our International Patients department and shared that he wished to resolve his long-standing problem related to excess weight in order to protect himself from the future health and emotional problems accompanying obesity.
After extensive research and positive impressions from the results of other patients of ours who had undergone interventions in the field of Bariatric Surgery, Mr. Atanasov made the decision to change his life and took the first step toward a healthy and long life by contacting our department. After the conducted informational conversations, Mr. Atanasov was invited to our hospital for detailed examinations and investigations to determine the most appropriate treatment method. The patient case was taken over by Dr. Mustafa Yonder DOLAP – Specialist in General and Bariatric Surgery.
After the initial physical examination and consultation with the specialist, a series of medical examinations by specialists from various fields followed, such as: Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Psychiatry, Nutrition and Dietetics. A number of detailed laboratory and radiological investigations, fibrogastroscopy, abdominal ultrasound, and others were performed to determine the current condition of the patient. Based on the results of the performed investigations, tests, and the specialists evaluation of the patient condition, it was determined that there were no medical obstacles to performing a surgical intervention in the field of bariatric surgery. Given his current condition, Mr. Atanasov was recommended a laparoscopic surgery to reduce stomach capacity – Sleeve Gastrectomy, which is applied to patients with excess weight. Before the operation, the doctor thoroughly explained the surgery itself and how it would help improve his condition. After the patient gave his consent, he was hospitalized and the necessary preparation was made to ensure conditions for a successful operation.
The surgical procedure was successfully performed the following day, and then our patient was admitted to our surgical department for postoperative monitoring. Our healthcare specialists provided the necessary care and support during this period to ensure a smooth recovery.
After one week of hospitalization and monitoring, our patient was discharged from the hospital smiling and in good overall health condition. Upon the patient discharge, the Nutrition and Dietetics specialist explained in detail the dietary regimen, which he would need to follow during this period.
Four months after the surgical intervention, our patient arrived at the hospital for a routine follow-up examination. After the measurements were taken, it was determined that our patient had lost a total of 37 kg in 4 months. It was also found that his fat ratio had decreased from 43% to 35%, and his waist circumference had decreased from 166 cm to 126 cm.
Today, 10 months after the operation, Mr. Atanasov shared that he had managed to lose a total of 63 kg and currently weighs 90 kg!
We are extremely happy to see the positive results and the transformation in our patient, who stated that he is very happy with his new lifestyle.
Mr. Atanasov expressed his most sincere gratitude to Dr. Mustafa Yonder DOLAP, his team, and our colleagues from the international patient services department, who were by his side at every stage of his treatment.
We also thank him for trusting us and choosing us for his treatment.
The entire team of our hospital wishes Mr. Atanasov a long life filled with health and happiness.
