Surgery & Rehabilitation
Obesity Unit
Multidisciplinary obesity management combining medical evaluation, personalized nutrition counseling, and behavioral support, with structured referral to bariatric surgery when clinically indicated.
About this service
Obesity is a chronic disease that affects nearly every organ system, and lasting treatment requires more than a diet plan. The Obesity Unit at Mersin University Hospital evaluates each patient comprehensively, screening for related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and fatty liver disease before building an individualized treatment plan. Endocrinologists, dietitians, psychologists, and physiotherapists work together on medical weight management, structured nutrition programs, physical activity guidance, and behavioral support. When lifestyle and medical treatment are not sufficient, patients are assessed for bariatric surgery and referred along a coordinated pathway that includes preoperative preparation and long-term follow-up after surgery. International patients benefit from a single point of coordination across all the specialties involved in their care.
