Ward Round After Weight Loss Surgery: My Patients Don’t Just Say Goodbye (Video)
This short video shows the ward round after weight loss surgery with Op. Dr. Volkan Arayıcı in İzmir.
Short video without speech. Every operation carries risks – we discuss them with you personally beforehand.
What the video covers
The ward round after weight loss surgery, the way my patients experience it: after a gastric sleeve or gastric bypass you stay four nights in hospital until discharge – there is no transfer to a hotel. I do the ward round myself every morning, in every room, with every patient. This short video shows how my patients say goodbye.
The surgeon’s checklist
- Four nights in hospital until discharge – no hotel transfer
- Daily ward round by the surgeon himself
- Five days in İzmir in total, straight to the airport on day five
- Twelve months of aftercare via WhatsApp and video call
