Functional Health Monitoring

Post-obesity surgery success is not only based on weight loss; it is also possible by restoring the body’s functional balance.

Functional Health Monitoring, which comes into play at this point, is an advanced follow-up model that evaluates the patient as a whole, analyzes inter-system relationships, and provides a personalized recovery plan, different from traditional follow-up processes.

What is the Goal of Monitoring?

Maintaining metabolic balance after surgery
Early detection and correction of micronutrient deficiencies
Optimizing systems such as sleep, stress, digestion, and immunity
Improving quality of life and ensuring long-term health sustainability

What Does the Follow-Up Process Involve?

Functional laboratory analyses (vitamin levels, hormone panels, inflammation markers, etc.)
Personalized supplement and nutrition planning
Regular monitoring of areas like gut health, liver function, and insulin sensitivity
Evaluation of sleep hygiene, stress management, and psychological status
Referral to advanced treatments such as GLP-1, GIP analogs, and NAD+ support when necessary

Who is it Suitable for?

Functional health monitoring is suitable for:

Patients who want a holistic management of their post-obesity surgery process, beyond just biochemical aspects
Individuals who feel the need for supplement support during their weight loss process
Those experiencing symptoms such as low energy, fatigue, sleep disorders, and skin issues
People who want to optimize their lifestyle

How Does Our Monitoring Work?

Detailed initial assessment: Functional risk analysis is performed post-surgery.
Planning necessary tests: Personalized functional blood and stool tests are selected.
Holistic evaluation: Interpretation with nutrition experts, surgeons, and functional medicine consultants.
Follow-up and improvement process: Regular follow-up with supplements, lifestyle, and treatment adjustments when necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How is functional health monitoring different from classic post-surgery follow-ups?

Functional monitoring focuses not only on weight and blood values but also on many factors such as hormone balance, microbiota health, sleep patterns, and lifestyle in a holistic way. The goal is not just monitoring but long-term health optimization.

2. Is this monitoring only for those who have had surgery?

No. Individuals who have not undergone obesity surgery but have metabolic issues or want to improve their quality of life can also benefit from this monitoring system.

3. What tests are done during the monitoring process?

The tests selected for each individual include vitamin-mineral levels, thyroid function, stress hormones (cortisol), inflammation markers, gut health (microbiota analysis), etc.

4. How long does the monitoring program last?

After the initial assessment, follow-up programs are planned for 3, 6, or 12 months depending on the need. Some individuals can be monitored with annual check-ups only.

5. Which specialists will I meet during this process?

The process will involve consultations with surgeons, bariatric dietitians, functional medicine consultants, and psychological counselors when necessary. This ensures a multidisciplinary and personalized approach.

No. When supplements are prescribed, a completely transparent process is followed. The user is informed, and the supplements can be obtained from pharmacies or approved platforms based on preference.

7. Is this monitoring covered by SGK or private health insurance?

Currently, functional health monitoring is conducted on an individual payment basis. However, models supported by private insurance are planned to be integrated in the future.
