Gastric Sleeve

Sleeve gastrectomy aims to reduce the volume of the stomach and thus provide the patient with satiety even with very little food. To achieve this, a specific portion of the stomach is surgically removed laparoscopically using a special camera technique through tiny incisions, leaving a sleeve gastric. Furthermore, the patient does not feel hungry because the portion of the stomach that releases the hunger hormone is removed.

With this surgery, only the amount of food consumed is limited. Since food intake continues in the same way, the patient does not need to take external vitamin or mineral supplements in the daily life. However, patients can take vitamin and mineral tablets until the body adjusts to its new biological situation.

After the surgery, patients consume small amounts of food that easily create a feeling of satiety. After some time, this eating habit succeeds in eliminating the extreme appetite. Overall food intake is significantly reduced, and 80-90% of excess weight is lost in the years following the surgery. Comorbidities improve to the same extent as with gastric sleeve and improvements are also observed in diabetes.
