Sleeve Gastrectomy

In line with today's technology and facilities, there are various types of surgery approaches we apply as the solution for obesity disease.

We determine the appropriate method to use after conducting thorough analyses and assessments. Selecting the right approach is paramount to achieving success in the process, as your achievements are the cornerstone of our happiness.

Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures that we apply for patients.

Technically, about 80-85 percent of the stomach is removed vertically in sleeve gastrectomy. Following the surgical procedure, a residual stomach volume of approximately 100 to 150 milliliters is typically retained. This allows our patients to eat less food. Since most of the stomach is disabled after sleeve gastrectomy, the level of ghrelin hormone, also known as the hunger hormone, decreases significantly. Therefore, a faster feeling of fullness occurs and the amount of eating is significantly reduced. Thus, weight loss begins immediately after surgery.

Since all Obesity and Metabolic Surgery operations are performed with closed method, the recovery process of the patients is much faster.

Generally, weight loss in people who have had sleeve gastrectomy occurs as follows. These figures may vary according to the person's metabolism, eating and drinking and sports habits.

AT 6 WEEKS: 10% of starting weight

AT 3 MONTHS: 15% of starting weight

AT 6 MONTHS: 20% of starting weight

AT 9 MONTHS: 25% of starting weight

AT 12 MONTHS: 30 - 35% of starting weight
