Gastric Sleeve Surgery Turkey

What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Gastric sleeve surgery is the removal of most of the stomach to achieve weight control. During the operation, the structure to which the stomach is attached to the large edge is cut and separated and a stomach tube with a volume between 100 and 150 ml is created. Thus, by reducing the volume of the stomach, food intake is reduced and regular weight loss is achieved. 

What Does a Gastric Sleeve Do?

Gastric sleeve surgery greatly reduces food intake by shrinking the stomach and causes a feeling of satiety by reducing the Ghrelin hormone level. Since the hunger hormone secreted in the gastric division decreases, the appetite-increasing region in the brain is not stimulated intensely. Thus, it reduces appetite in people and supports weight loss.

Can the Stomach be Restored After Sleeve Gastrectomy?

The stomach does not return to its former state after sleeve gastrectomy. However, since the stomach is an organ that can grow, the stomach, which is reduced to 100-150 ml during surgery, can grow up to a maximum of 400 ml over time. However, it should not be forgotten that stomach growth will not lead to obesity again. 

Diet After Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Diet is required after gastric sleeve surgery. A personalized program is created by a bariatric dietitian. Body health is kept in place by dieting during the weight loss process. First, a transparent liquid diet is made in the hospital. Then, the meal program is staged as a completely liquid diet, puree diet, soft diet and regular diet.
