Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Turkey
Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves the removal of a portion of the stomach to create a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, using small incisions and a camera to guide the surgeon.
During gastric sleeve surgery:
-
Removal of a Portion of the Stomach: The surgeon removes approximately 75-80% of the stomach, leaving a narrow tube or "sleeve" that connects to the esophagus at one end and the small intestine at the other.
-
Reduced Stomach Volume: By reducing the size of the stomach, the surgery limits the amount of food it can hold. This results in a reduced capacity to consume food and, subsequently, a feeling of fullness with smaller meals.
-
Hormonal Changes: The surgery is believed to bring about hormonal changes that can help in regulating hunger, metabolism, and blood sugar levels.
Gastric sleeve surgery is intended for individuals who are severely obese and have not been successful with other weight-loss methods such as diet and exercise. It is a relatively common and effective procedure for promoting significant weight loss. However, as with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications, and the decision to undergo gastric sleeve surgery should be made after careful consideration and consultation with healthcare professionals.
