How is
Gastric Sleeve Surgery done?
Gastric sleeve surgery is performed under general anesthesia. It is typically performed laparoscopically, which involves inserting small instruments through multiple tiny holes in the upper abdomen. These holes are tiny and do not pose any aesthetic problems.
A calibration tube with the diameter of the esophagus is inserted into the stomach for precautionary purposes. This tube, allows the stomach to be reduced like the continuation of the esophagus, thus preventing excessive stenosis or obstruction. The surgeon creates a narrow sleeve by stapling the stomach vertically and removing the larger, curved part of the stomach.
After that, the calibration tube is removed. The surgeon checks if there is a leak by using different techniques during the operation, and the operation is completed.
Advantages of
Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery
The sleeve gastrectomy operation delivers the best success rate compared to a diet program or various methods. Therefore, we can say that it is the most effective method in the treatment of obesity.
- It is a simple and short operation in terms of application techniques.
- A sleeve gastrectomy is more effective than gastric clamp application which is one of the old methods used in bariatric surgery.
- The operation does not disrupt the normal standard course of food flow during feeding. This means that the food proceeds through the esophagus, stomach and intestines. Therefore, it is much more suitable for the anatomical structure of the human than other treatments.
- Gastric sleeve surgery has the least incidence of complications due to anesthesia. It is a fast procedure, and accordingly, the anesthesia period is short.
Gastric Sleeve Pre-Operation Stages
Patients will undergo detailed checks before the gastric sleeve operation. It is important to understand whether the patient has health problems such as stomach ulcers, or heart disease. These problems should be eliminated before performing a gastric sleeve operation.
At the same time, dietitians and psychiatrists will do checks to determine whether the patient is suitable for the operation. You will stay in the hospital for a few days following the operation.
Patients with serious weight problems and fatty liver will be given a special diet 15-20 days before the operation. This diet will ensure that liver fat is reduced and operational risks are minimized.

Nutrition After
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Although sleeve gastrectomy operation is a simple operation, patients should make serious changes in nutrition and lifestyle habits following the operation. For example;
- Fizzy drinks should be avoided for life.
- You can only have a liquid diet following the first two weeks.
- Solid and liquid foods should not be consumed at the same time.
- Salads consisting of vegetables and various greens should be added to the nutritional routine.
- Nutritional style should be decided under the supervision of a specialist physician.
- The missing vitamins should be balanced with supplements.
- Since the absorption of the stomach will decrease, vitamins such as B12 may not be effective when taken in pill form. All patients must have B12 injections or sprays after surgery.

The Risks of
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
- The risks include muscle destruction, embolism, and lung collapse and kidney failure. However, these risks are present in every treatment method for obesity.
- Since sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical procedure, you face the risks seen in all other surgical procedures. For example, possible bleeding or infection.
- Reflux problems may occur after a sleeve gastrectomy operation.
- Although rare, the stomach can expand over time. As a result of this enlargement, the patient can regain the lost weight.
- Swelling in the abdomen, difficulty in emptying the stomach, nausea, and vomiting may occur immediately after the surgery.
- Gastric bleeding or bleeding in the abdomen is also among the risks.
- The most common risk in the short term is leakage. The symptoms of leakage in sleeve gastrectomy operation are pain and fever. Leakage problems are not always treated with surgery. Usually, endoscopic interventions may be sufficient. Most of the time, it is possible to treat leaks by using radiological methods.
When will you return to social life after sleeve gastrectomy?
The period of the observation period in the hospital is only a few days. Patients who have a successful operation and do not have complications can resume their daily lives within a maximum of 7-10 days.
Does your stomach enlarge after sleeve gastrectomy?
The stomach is already an organ that can expand continuously. Accordingly, the stomach can enlarge after the sleeve gastrectomy operation. It is necessary to follow the nutritional rules after the operation to prevent this. It is necessary to stay away from carbonated drinks and pay attention not to consume solid and liquid foods together.
How much weight can I lose per month with a sleeve gastrectomy operation?
It changes according to the patient’s condition. Therefore, it is hard to mention a definite number. For example, the weight loss of a person of different heights will be different. Similarly, the weight loss of a man and a woman will not be the same.
Is there an age limit for sleeve gastrectomy surgery?
Unless it is necessary, bariatric surgery is not performed on patients below the age of 18. However, the surgeons may operate when deemed necessary. Except for these exceptional cases, the lower age limit for sleeve gastrectomy surgery is 18, and the upper age limit is 65. However, sleeve gastrectomy operation can also be performed on healthy people over the age of 65.
How long does gastric sleeve surgery take?
The operation takes about half an hour to 1.5 hours. Bariatric surgery is aimed to operate ideally, regardless of time.
Do I have any scars after sleeve gastrectomy?
Laparoscopic, is the most preferred sleeve gastrectomy method. The number of holes used in laparoscopy depends on the patient. Each hole is around 1-1.5 mm on average and treated aesthetically. In some cases, there will be small scars, but they will not pose any problems.
