Obesity is one of the most common health problems of today. Excess weight can lead to not only aesthetic concerns but also various health issues. Gastric sleeve surgery stands out as a highly effective method in combating obesity.
Gastric sleeve surgery is the process of vertically reducing the size of the stomach, transforming it into a tube-like structure. As a result, the volume of the stomach decreases, leading to a feeling of fullness with less food intake. The surgery is performed laparoscopically, meaning through small incisions, and is a very safe procedure.

Before gastric sleeve surgery, it is essential to strictly follow the instructions given by your doctor. These include adhering to the prescribed diet program, quitting smoking and alcohol consumption, engaging in regular exercise, and undergoing the necessary tests before the surgery.
During the postoperative period, it is crucial to change your diet and lifestyle according to your doctor’s recommendations. There may be a specific recovery period after the surgery, during which following the recommended diet program and attending regular check-ups are important.
Like any surgical procedure, gastric sleeve surgery carries some risks. Complications such as infection, bleeding, and blood clotting may occur. However, these risks can be minimized with surgery performed by an experienced surgeon and patient compliance.
The cost of gastric sleeve surgery varies depending on factors such as the location of the hospital, the experience of the doctor, the complexity of the surgery, and the techniques used. For detailed information, you can contact our clinic.
