[78952] Inspiring story in Samsun: 11-year-old boy shed dozens of kilograms after medical treatment

Inspiring medical transformation in Samsun

The story of Yağız Bekte, an 11-year-old boy from Samsun, Turkey, captured the headlines of local media outlets after he underwent a dramatic weight loss process. According to a report by GündemX, the boy suffered from birth from a lack of satiety, which led him to reach a weight of 90 kilograms by the age of five. After a series of medical treatments, Yağız managed to reduce his weight to just 40 kilograms.

The medical reason behind the case was clarified in reports by A Haber and Sansürsüz Medya +18, which note that the boy suffered from a "leptin hormone deficiency." This rare condition prevented him from feeling full naturally, which caused a sharp increase in his weight during the first years of his life.

Today, Yağız's condition has improved significantly. A Haber emphasizes that while in the past he struggled even to walk, today he is "playing with his peers and participating in social activities." İhlas Haber Ajansı define the change the boy underwent as an "unbelievable change."

The reports come from a variety of media channels in Turkey, with the sources avoiding political commentary and presenting the story as a narrative of medical success and improvement in the boy's quality of life.
