Sleeve gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most popular and effective procedures for treating obesity in Turkey. During this surgery, approximately 75% of the stomach's volume is removed, leaving a small portion in the shape of a tube or "sleeve." This procedure aims to reduce the amount of food the stomach can hold and decrease the secretion of the hunger hormone, thereby contributing to natural and safe weight loss.

How It Works: The procedure involves removing the majority of the stomach, reducing its size by up to 80%. This change helps to decrease the amount of food consumed and also impacts the hormones that regulate appetite, leading to effective and sustained weight loss.

Candidates for the Procedure: This procedure is suitable for individuals suffering from severe obesity, especially those with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 40, or a BMI between 35 and 40 with co-existing health problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

Procedure Duration and Recovery Period: The procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, and the patient will need to stay in the hospital for two to three days. You can usually return to your daily activities within two weeks, but it's essential to follow your doctor's instructions to ensure the surgery's success and achieve the best results.
