An Effective Method for Weight Control
An Effective Method for Weight Control
Aynur Yılmaz describes her gastric sleeve journey as an important turning point after years of difficulty with weight control. She says she first discovered Dr. Zafer Cenk Koyuncu through Instagram and is very pleased that this connection ultimately brought her to treatment. At 45, Aynur explains that she had spent years trying to lose weight through different approaches but had struggled to achieve results she could maintain. Over time, the repeated cycle of dieting, losing weight and regaining it became increasingly frustrating, leading her to consider gastric sleeve surgery as a more structured option for her future.
Her motivations were deeply personal. Aynur wanted to feel more comfortable when looking in the mirror, feel more confident in the clothes she wore and establish greater stability in her weight. She also speaks very positively about the care she received from Dr. Zafer Cenk Koyuncu, the nurses and the team at Baypark Hospital. What had initially seemed frightening became, in her own words, a much easier experience than she had expected. Her account combines the emotional side of weight management with the importance of professional care, postoperative nutrition and long-term commitment.

What Stood Out in Aynur’s Gastric Sleeve Experience
Three themes stand out clearly in Aynur’s experience: years of difficulty maintaining weight loss, the reassurance she felt from the medical team and her determination to build a more stable future after surgery. For Aynur, gastric sleeve surgery was not simply about seeing a lower number on the scale. It represented an opportunity to approach weight control differently while working toward greater confidence and consistency.
-
Professional Care and Support — Aynur repeatedly highlights the attention she received from Dr. Zafer Cenk Koyuncu, the nurses and the Baypark Hospital team. She describes their approach as attentive and reassuring and says she felt very well cared for throughout the surgical process.
-
From Anxiety to Confidence — Before surgery, the idea of an operation could naturally feel intimidating. After experiencing the process herself, however, Aynur says it was far easier than she had imagined and repeatedly reassures other patients that fear alone should not define their decision.
-
Long-Term Weight Control — Aynur’s goal extends beyond initial weight loss. She wants to maintain her progress over the long term and recognises the importance of following the recommended postoperative nutrition programme and lifestyle guidance after gastric sleeve surgery.

Her hopes include achieving better weight control, feeling more confident about her appearance and maintaining the progress she makes after surgery. She expresses particular gratitude to Dr. Zafer Cenk Koyuncu, the nurses and the Baypark Hospital team for the care she received. Her experience also reflects an important part of bariatric treatment: surgery is one stage of a longer process, and sustainable progress depends on appropriate medical evaluation, postoperative follow-up, nutrition and the patient’s continued participation in the journey.
