Gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey: Eligibility criteria

Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of bariatric surgery that reduces the size of the stomach. This surgery is for people with a BMI over 40. As such, it is aimed at those who suffer from additional complications such as diabetes, sleep apnea, and heart disease. Gastric sleeve surgery allows for the permanent removal of the left two-thirds of the stomach, forming a narrow, calibrated tube (longitudinal gastrectomy).

The purpose of this surgery is to:

Reduce the amount of food the person consumes.
Interfere with the hormone ghrelin, which is responsible for hunger.
Change the perception of taste.

Gastric sleeve surgery process

Before undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, it is mandatory to have a detailed check-up several weeks in advance. This examination aims to thoroughly assess the patient's overall health condition. Additionally, a visit to a psychiatrist is required, as well as consultations with a nutritionist, a cardiologist, and a blood test.

The patient must also follow a strict diet, often consisting of yogurt and water. He must then fast for 12 hours before the surgery to facilitate the process.

Sleeve gastrectomy is performed under general anesthesia and lasts 2 to 3 hours, with a hospital stay of 3 days.

Following the surgery, the average weight loss is around 4 kg per month for the first 6 months, followed by a subsequent weight loss of 2 to 4 kg per month.

What are the risks of SG surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, there are postoperative risks associated with stomach reduction surgery, including

Infection or inflammation of the abdomen.
Possible bleeding.
Formation of blood clots.
Anesthesia-related complications.
Leakage of staples or sutures used to close the reduced portion of the stomach.
Excessive shrinkage that may cause digestive problems, nausea, vomiting, and food blocking.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD),characterized by the backflow of stomach acids into the esophagus, causing burning and discomfort.
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies that require long-term supplementation.

It's important to note that each case is unique and risks may vary depending on individual factors. Therefore, you should discuss all risks and potential benefits with your bariatric surgeon before making an informed decision.

Sleeve gastrectomy is a highly effective surgery for fighting obesity and achieving a beautiful figure. However, it does require ongoing post-operative and nutritional follow-up.

Contrary to stomach balloons, gastric bypass, gastric banding, or endoscopic gastric banding, this surgery is irreversible.

What are the benefits of SG?

Gastric sleeve surgery offers several benefits, including:

Significant weight loss.
Reduced appetite.
Increased satiety.

On average, patients lose between 60% and 70% of their excess weight. Numerous studies have also shown that sleeve gastrectomy is highly effective in treating and even reversing diabetes, hypertension, and other medical conditions associated with morbid obesity. Patients also report increased self-confidence and vitality, and enjoy participating in more activities.

Although there isn’t a strict age limit for sleeve gastrectomy, it is usually recommended for adults between 18 and 65 years old. Younger patients must have fully developed bodies, and older adults must be healthy enough to undergo surgery. Doctors evaluate each patient’s overall health before any procedure.
