GASTRİC SLEEVE
What is gastric sleeve surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery is a surgical method commonly used in the treatment of obesity. In this operation, approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a thin and long stomach in the form of a tube. Since the surgery, which is performed with the laparoscopic (closed) method, is performed with small incisions, the recovery process is usually fast. Since a large part of the stomach is removed, the person consumes less food and the feeling of hunger decreases significantly as the hormone ghrelin, which controls appetite, decreases. This surgery is suitable for individuals with a body mass index of 35 and above, who cannot lose weight with diet and exercise, and who have health problems related to obesity. While rapid and permanent weight loss is achieved after the surgery, it can also contribute to the recovery of diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
Advantages of gastric sleeve surgery:
-
Provides rapid and permanent weight loss.
-
It helps you diet more easily by reducing the feeling of hunger.
-
It contributes to the improvement of metabolic diseases (diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.).
-
Intestinal order is preserved (it does not cause malabsorption like gastric bypass).
After gastric sleeve surgery:
While rapid and permanent weight loss is achieved after surgery, it can also contribute to the recovery of diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. These patients should take vitamin supplements under the supervision of a doctor and pay attention to their diet. In the post-operative period, a liquid diet for the first two weeks, a puree-like diet for the next two weeks, and a gradual transition to a normal diet from the third month onwards are recommended. Gastric sleeve is not only a surgical intervention, but also a process that requires a long-term lifestyle change. Regular exercise and a healthy diet are essential for success.
