What is a Gastric Sleeve?

Gastric Sleeve Turkey, also known as a sleeve gastrectomy, is one of the most popular and effective weight loss methods among people who are obese or dangerously overweight. Gastric Sleeve surgery permanently removes 75% of your stomach mass. This volume reduction will diminish the amount of food the stomach can hold, making patients feel full while eating less. Moreover, the reduction also diminishes the quantity of ghrelin produced by the organism, which is the hormone directly responsible for the feeling of hunger. Finally, a lesser production of ghrelin also augments the quantity of insulin in circulation, which reduces the proportion of sugar, further helping the weight loss process.

How is Gastric Sleeve Turkey Performed?

Preparation: Before the surgery, patients undergo a thorough evaluation, including medical history and physical examination. 

Anesthesia: The patient is placed under general anesthesia, ensuring they are unconscious and pain-free during the procedure.

Incisions: The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen. These serve as entry points for the surgical instruments.

Removal of a portion of the stomach: The surgeon removes approximately 75-80% of the stomach using specialized instruments. The remaining part is shaped into a sleeve-like structure.

Stapling: The stomach edges are typically sealed using surgical staples that reinforce the sleeve shape and prevent leakage.

Closing incisions: After completing the gastric sleeve, the surgeon closes the incisions with sutures or surgical staples.

Pre-operative diet:  Patients must apply a pre-operative diet before undergoing gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey. It is an essential part of the preparation process for the surgery. The pre-operative diet helps patients reduce the liver’s size to make surgery safer, promoting post-operative recovery and leading patients to adjust to new eating habits. Patients will be informed how many days before the surgery they should start dieting by their case managers.

First Week Post-Op:

  •  The diet usually advances from clear liquids to full liquids and then to pureed or soft foods over the course of the week.
  •  Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation and prevent blood clots, but strenuous activity should be avoided.

2-4 Weeks Post-Op:

After gastric sleeve surgery, patients will need to transition through stages of clear liquids, full liquids, pureed foods, and eventually to a diet of small, balanced meals with an emphasis on protein. Portion control and avoiding high-calorie, low-nutrient foods are crucial for success. Additionally, staying well-hydrated and taking recommended supplements are essential to your post-operative diet.

Recovery times can vary based on individual circumstances and the specific nature of your job or activities. Most patients can return to light activities within 2-4 weeks and resume normal activities. For individuals with sedentary office jobs, returning to work about 2 weeks after gastric sleeve surgery is often possible. However, if a patient’s job involves physical activity or heavy lifting, they may take longer to resume their normal work duties safely. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s specific recommendations regarding when it’s safe to return to work based on the nature of your job and your recovery progress.

On average, patients can expect to lose about 60-70% of their excess body weight within the first two years after gastric sleeve surgery. It is essential to know that individual results may vary, and factors such as adherence to post-operative guidelines, lifestyle changes, and metabolism can influence weight loss outcomes.

A gastric sleeve surgery typically takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete. However, the actual duration can vary depending on factors such as the surgeon’s experience, the specific circumstances of the patient, and any unforeseen complications that may arise during the procedure.

After a gastric sleeve surgery, patients typically start with a liquid diet for the first few days. Then, they gradually progress to pureed and soft foods over the next few weeks. Solid foods are usually introduced about 4-6 weeks after the surgery, but this timeline may vary depending on your surgeon’s specific recommendations and how well you’re healing.

To restart weight loss after gastric sleeve surgery, patients should consult their healthcare provider for tailored advice. You should review your dietary habits to ensure you follow the recommended post-operative plan and pay attention to portion sizes to prevent overeating. It’s essential to prioritize nutrient-dense foods, and staying well-hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water each day is crucial. Gradually incorporating exercise into your routine, starting with low-impact activities and progressing as tolerated, can be beneficial. Patients should also track their progress with a food journal or tracking app and aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night.
