Gizem
- “This is a life change and they changed my life”
- “I can definitely say that ı was born again”
“I loved food very much since I was a child.
I would not have thought that this love would be a problem for me.”
I loved food very much since I was a child. I would not have thought that this love would be a problem for me. Gizem had childhood obesity disease. Irregular diet and unhealthy habits made her an adult obese. My life was really difficult. I felt unhappy, tired all the time. I had low self esteem. I was in a psychological crisis because of my weight. “I didn’t want to go out, and said no to almost everyone and everything when it came to socialising. Because wherever I went, people were looking at me. It was a horrible vicious cycle I was in.
“I searched these surgeries so much. My friend’s mother had gastric sleeve operation. She reached to her ideal weight 1 year later. She were looking good.
I said to myself: “Enough! You must change something on your life! I could not live like this. “ I met many doctors, I went to many clinics and I found Dr. Hasan. When I found him, I decided to have this surgery to him.”
She had gastric sleeve surgery 18 months ago. And after 18 months, she lost 40 kilos.
“I am so happy, this surgery increased my self-confidence. I lost 40 kilos. I have no limits, I am free to move. I can do sports. I am so satisfied. luckily, I had this surgery. I am so satisfied and everything keeps getting better for me. This is a life change and they changed my life.”
