Obesity surgery: Sleeve gastrectomy cost & review
Sleeve gastrectomy or “calibrated vertical gastroplasty with gastric resection” is the most popular cosmetic procedure that treats obesity. It consists in permanently removing part of the stomach, thus forming a narrow calibrated tube. This operation has three objectives:
- Reducing the amount of food the person consumes.
- Acting on the hormone ghrelin, which is responsible for hunger.
- Acting on the taste perception of the patient.
We will help you find the best cost of Sleeve Gastroplasty in Turkey and Istanbul based on real patients reviews.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
The surgeon performs Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy or LSG surgery in Turkey in a hospital’s operating room, under general anaesthetic. He will make five small incisions in your abdomen. He or she will perform the surgical intervention using a narrow, extendable, telescope with a small camera at the end. The surgical instruments introduced through the small cuts will extract about 80% of your stomach.
Advantages of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
The LSG procedure is a minimally invasive surgery, so its recovery time is shorter compared to other weight-loss surgeries. In the first 2 postoperative years, most patients will lose between 40% and 50% of their weight. If you are morbidly obese with a BMI of 60 or more, you may lose about 125 pounds (57 kg) of excess weight.
Studies also show that if you have obesity-related problems like:
- Diabetes;
- High blood pressure;
- Sleep apnea;
- High cholesterol.
You have about a 75% chance that these conditions will also improve.
Risks of LSG surgery in Turkey
Any Bariatric surgery comports some risks and side effects. Laparoscopic surgery is a shorter weight loss procedure than other types of weight-loss surgeries such as gastric bypass. With Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, you have a 5% risk for complications such as:
- Discharge of stomach’s secretions from where it has been withdrawn;
- Haemorrhaging;
- Pulmonary embolism that occurs from blood clots that are formed in the legs' blood vessels;
- Limited diameter of the new stomach;
- Infection;
- Poor absorption of nutrients.
Endoscopic Sleeve gastroplasty in Turkey & Istanbul
Before a few weeks of the procedure of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, some steps must be taken, such as:
- A detailed report containing the consultations with the surgeon to evaluate the state of the patient;
- A meeting with the psychiatrist;
- Nutritional consultations with the nutritionist doctor;
- A consultation with the cardiologist, a blood test.
During the few days preceding the operation, the patient must follow a strict diet based generally on yoghurt and water. Then he/she must fast for 12 hours before surgery to facilitate the work of a doctor. The surgeon performs this operation under general anaesthesia and lasts 2 to 3 hours, with 3 days of hospitalization.
The weight loss after the operation is of the order of :
- 4 kg per month, during the first 6 months;
- From 2 to 4 kg per month after 6 months.
Does this intervention present risks?
The operation of sleeve gastrectomy can treat obesity as well as other types of diseases such as diabetes. It also helps you obtain the beautiful body that you always dreamed of.
Its complications are rare: anaesthetic risk, risk of bleeding, vomiting, and nutritional deficiencies.
Gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey is a very effective operation that helps fight against obesity to have a beautiful silhouette. However, it requires continuous post-operative and nutritional monitoring.
