A gastric sleeve is a proven procedure for reducing the size of the stomach. Treatment by Dr. Gökçe.
About
Gastric sleeve surgery is a recognized standard procedure to combat obesity and the associated negative health effects. With a gastric sleeve, the volume of the stomach is reduced by up to 80%. This quickly results in a feeling of satiety, which in turn enables significant, lasting weight loss. The negative effects of diseases such as diabetes or sleep apnea are significantly reduced.
This permanent, non-reversible procedure from bariatric surgery is now the standard operation for particularly severe obesity. With a sleeve gastrectomy, a large part of the stomach is surgically removed. One advantage over gastric bypass surgery is that no intestinal bypass is necessary. The recovery time is also shorter.

Then you should choose another treatment. The benchmark for gastric sleeve surgery is a BMI of 40 (from 35 with concomitant diseases)
In the case of certain pre-existing conditions, e.g. of the liver and kidneys, it must be weighed up to what extent the risk of surgery is acceptable.
Infections, e.g. in the gastrointestinal tract, may make it advisable to postpone the operation.
If you are pregnant, you should postpone the operation. Similarly, there should be no psychological factors such as eating disorders, addictions or severe depression.
Gastric sleeve surgery is well tolerated by the majority of patients, and the possible risks are manageable. That is why this procedure has become the standard for obesity treatment. In just a few months, you can lose almost 70% of your excess weight. After about two years, your weight will stabilize. Sufferers of high blood pressure, diabetes and sleep apnea report great relief from weight loss. Joint pain caused by excess body weight is also alleviated.

The gastric sleeve procedure combines a high level of effectiveness with few side effects and rare complications. From an “operational” point of view, the gastric sleeve is simpler than, for example, a gastric bypass. The gastric sleeve has proven particularly effective for extreme obesity and is performed worldwide. Due to the significantly lower stomach content, a feeling of satiety quickly sets in naturally, so that you eat significantly less without “hungering” and thus reduce your weight. The change in metabolism has a positive effect in connection with type 2 diabetes.

The sleeve gastrectomy is particularly recommended and used for severe obesity. In particular, when other measures have not led to the desired improvement, sleeve gastrectomy is an effective way to combat severe obesity (grades 2 to 3) – i.e. from a BMI of 35. Under certain circumstances, a sleeve gastrectomy may also be advisable for lower BMI values.
The recovery period after gastric sleeve surgery varies from patient to patient, but you should generally plan for about 2 to 4 weeks. During the first few days, you will stay in the clinic for observation and can then be released home. During the first few weeks, it is important to take it easy physically and to strictly adhere to the prescribed diet to aid the healing process. After about three weeks, you can resume light everyday activities, while more intense physical exertion should only be undertaken after consulting your doctor.
After gastric sleeve surgery, it is crucial that body and mind adapt to the changed circumstances. Your stomach is significantly smaller, so you need to make fundamental changes to your eating habits. It is particularly important to have a nutritional program that aims to supply the necessary nutrients in smaller quantities. It makes sense to eat several small meals a day that are easy to digest and do not overload the stomach. To ensure that your body is adequately supplied despite the reduced food intake, dietary supplements such as vitamins and minerals may be necessary. This applies in particular to B-group vitamins, vitamin D, iron and calcium, as these nutrients are often not absorbed in sufficient quantities through food after sleeve gastrectomy. Our team of experts will provide you with an individual nutrition plan and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
