Hamza Özcan, who earns his living by farming, was vomiting 10 minutes after eating solid food. When he could not find a solution to the problem that turned his life into a nightmare for years, he finally applied to a private hospital in Amasya.
HIS STOMACH, WHICH ENLARGED MORE THAN 10 TIMES, WRAPPED HIS ABDOMINAL CAVITY
During the surgery, which was performed after endoscopy and tomography, it was seen that his stomach, whose exit part had narrowed, had grown more than 10 times and surrounded the abdominal cavity. General Surgeon Assoc. Prof. saw that the tissue band formed between the stomach and liver divided the stomach into two. Dr. Yavuz Pirhan made a new channel between the small intestine and the stomach.
“IT WAS AS LIKE I WAS BORN FROM THE MOTHER”
Özcan, who is married and father of 5 children and is very happy to regain his health, said: “I was eating everything I wanted. But after 10 minutes I was taking it back out. I was feeling very uncomfortable. I was drinking pills like eating bread. “Now I feel like I was born from the mother,” he said.
HER BELLY WAS SLOPPED LIKE A PREGNANT
Assoc. Prof. explains that this condition, which is very rare in adults, is usually encountered in newborn babies and is treated immediately. Dr. Pirhan said, “I have been a general surgeon for 20 years. This is the second case I’ve seen. More than half of the inside of our patient’s abdomen was in the form of stomach tissue. She had swelling like a pregnant lady. Now her belly is flat. “Even the rib tips are visible,” he said.
CAREFUL NUTRITIONAL ADVICE AGAINST THE RISK OF OVERWEIGHT
Pirhan ordered anchovies to his patient, who complained that he could not eat fish with pleasure for years, and advised him to eat carefully, as his stomach had grown more than 10 times, and he would tend to consume food constantly due to feeling of hunger in the next year, and risk gaining excessive weight.
