Sleeve gastrectomy in Turkey (or vertical gastrectomy) is a bariatric surgical procedure designed to treat severe obesity. It consists of removing a large part of the stomach (around 70 to 80%) to create a tube-shaped or “sleeve” stomach. This reduction in stomach size limits the amount of food the patient can eat and also modifies the production of hunger-related hormones, such as ghrelin.

Benefits of sleeve gastrectomy

Significant weight loss: Patients generally lose 60 to 70% of their excess weight within 12 to 18 months after surgery.
Reduction of comorbidities: It often improves or resolves obesity-related health problems such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease.
No intestinal bypass: Unlike gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy does not alter the digestive pathway, which reduces the risk of nutritional deficiencies.
Irreversible procedure: The stomach is permanently reduced, which can help maintain long-term weight loss.
Fewer complications: Sleeve gastrectomy is less likely to cause complications such as vitamin malabsorption.
Improved overall health: After significant weight loss, patients often experience major relief from back pain, hip pain, knee pain and foot pain.

The gastric sleeve procedure in Turkey

Sleeve gastrectomy was originally part of a much older operation called biliopancreatic diversion. This procedure allows a patient to lose a significant amount of weight, up to 70% of the initial weight.

Through a few small incisions, the surgeon uses a stapling device to permanently remove 75 to 80% of the stomach volume.

The result is a thin, banana-shaped tube that preserves the natural openings leading into and out of this new tubular stomach.

No surgery is performed on the intestines. The procedure is carried out using minimally invasive techniques.

The gastric sleeve procedure in Turkey is performed under general anesthesia and lasts about 2 hours.

A 4- to 5-night stay at the clinic is required for your safety.

Eligibility criteria

Sleeve gastrectomy is generally recommended for patients with:

Postoperative follow-up

A specific diet is required, starting with liquids, then soft foods, before returning to solid food.

Vitamin and mineral supplementation is often prescribed to avoid deficiencies.

Regular follow-up with a medical team (surgeon, nutritionist, psychologist) is essential to maximize results and prevent complications.

Conclusion

Sleeve gastrectomy is an effective option for people suffering from severe obesity, but it requires thorough preparation and long-term commitment to achieve the best results. If you are considering this procedure, it is essential to speak with a healthcare professional to assess whether it is suitable for your situation.
