Qualifications

Kaplan Baha Temizgonul is a bariatric surgeon specializing in laparoscopic techniques for obesity treatment. He performs procedures including gastric sleeve, bypass, and balloon surgeries at his independent practice in Istanbul. Dr. Temizgonul holds an MD from Pamukkale University and has practiced as a specialist since 2015.

Specialization & Approach

The doctor treats patients with obesity using minimally invasive methods. He focuses on weight loss through laparoscopy – a surgical technique using small incisions and a camera. This approach reduces recovery time and surgical scarring for his patients. Dr. Temizgonul also follows high-volume standards to ensure surgical precision. He treats conditions such as:

  • Obesity
  • Metabolic disorders related to weight
  • Gastrointestinal conditions requiring surgical intervention

The specialist performs weight-loss operations at Lotus Bariatrics Clinic, including:

Education & Training

  • 2009–2014 – Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Hospital – Residency in General Surgery
