How is gastric sleeve surgery operated?

Gastric sleeve surgery is an operation that shapes the stomach as a tube by removing the majority of the stomach by a surgeon in a hospital environment. The surgery, which is performed by using medical devices by making small incisions with the laparoscopic method involves removing the part of the stomach that secretes the ghrelin hormone. This hormone is related to appetite and sense of hunger. Therefore, patients feel to eat less after the surgery and feel fuller in a short time; this helps them to lose weight in a healthy and effective way. Gastric sleeve surgery takes approximately 1-1.5 hour. Patients are discharged after 2 to 4 days.

  • Patients with body mass index between 35-40 obese patients,
  • Patients with health problems such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, joint problems due to excess weight.
  • Other than fitting these criteria, patients must have tried methods such as diet, exercise, medication treatment and had no result before choosing gastric sleeve surgery.
  • The gastric sleeve which is an effective obesity treatment must not be considered as a procedure to lose weight for aesthetic purposes.
  • On the other hand, the surgery decision for patients under 18 and over 60 depends on the surgeon’s evaluation.

Why this surgery is preferred?

First two bariatric surgery methods in weight loss surgery are gastric sleeve and gastric bypass. Gastric bypass is an older bariatric surgery method than gastric sleeve surgery. Gastric sleeve procedure has gotten ahead of gastric bypass in recent years. The main reason is that gastric sleeve surgery is a simpler procedure.

In a gastric bypass, the majority of the stomach is bypassed to decrease the volume and this section is attached to the small intestine. Since the small intestine changes in this procedure, it is more complex than gastric sleeve surgery. There might be absorption problem risk after the surgery due to the nature of the surgery. To prevent this, patients might need to have a supplement in their entire life. After sleeve gastrectomy surgery, food absorption is normal. Because no changes are made on the small intestine in this surgery. Also, the complication risk is lower and the recovery process is faster in this method.

What are the advantages of the gastric sleeve procedure?

  • Sleeve gastrectomy surgery is the process of reducing stomach There is no change in stomach functions. Therefore, the patient feels fuller by eating less and thus weight loss occurs.
  • The stomach section, which also produces the hormone ghrelin known as the hunger hormone, is removed in the surgery. This way, the patient does not feel hungry.
  • Since the laparoscopic method is used, this is a less risky surgical procedure for patients with excess weight and scar tissue heals faster after the surgery.
  • Dumping syndrome does not occur since the stomach valve is protected.
  • Ulcer risk is minimized.
  • Since intestines are not changed, there will be no problems such as food absorption disorders, marginal ulcer, intestine blockage, osteoporosis, protein and vitamin deficiencies.
