Gastric Sleeve Surgery

The process of cutting out a large portion of the stomach to leave it in the shape of a tube is called Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery.

The aim is to reduce the volume of the stomach. The food intake of the stomach, which is reduced by 80%, is restricted. Therefore, due to the loss of appetite after the surgery, the person loses weight quickly and easily without difficulty.

The procedure is performed by laparoscopy. Laparoscopy is a procedure performed by making 3-4 small incisions (1/2 cm) on the abdomen and using special surgical equipment with a camera on the end.

The risk of complications is very low. The patient's hospital stay does not exceed 3 days. The person's return to work is between 10-15 days.

The operation takes approximately 1 hour.
