Sleeve Gastrectomy

We decide which method will be used after making the necessary analyzes and evaluations. Because applying the right method is one of the biggest factors behind the success in the process. Your success is our source of happiness.
Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most common surgeries we apply.
Technically, about 80-85 percent of the stomach is removed vertically in sleeve gastrectomy. After the operation, a stomach volume of approximately 100 - 150 ml remains. This allows our patients to eat less food. Since most of the stomach is disabled after sleeve gastrectomy, the level of ghrelin hormone, also known as the hunger hormone, decreases significantly. Therefore, a faster feeling of fullness occurs and the amount of eating is significantly reduced. Thus, weight loss begins immediately after surgery.
Generally, weight loss in people who have had sleeve gastrectomy occurs as follows. These figures may vary according to the person's metabolism, eating and drinking and sports habits.
AT 6 WEEKS: 10% of starting weight
AT 3 MONTHS: 15% of starting weight
AT 6 MONTHS: 20% of starting weight
AT 9 MONTHS: 25% of starting weight
AT 12 MONTHS: 30 - 35% of starting weight
Gastric Bypass
In line with today's technology and facilities, there are types of surgery we apply for the solution of obesity disease.
We decide which method will be used after making the necessary analyzes and evaluations. Because applying the right method is one of the biggest factors behind the success in the process. Your success is our source of happiness.
Gastric Bypass surgery is one of the most effective methods in obesity surgery. With this application, the procedure is performed on both stomach and small intestine.
Technically, the operation is completed by reducing the stomach and removing the small intestine from a certain segment and connecting it to the stomach. Patients with Gastric Bypass both eat less food due to the reduction of the stomach and take less calories due to the transition from the shrinking stomach to the small intestine. Therefore, weight loss is achieved in obesity problems with two different mechanisms.
Weight loss in gastric bypass surgeries starts immediately after surgery. The most important feature of this surgery is that "type 2 diabetes" in overweight patients is greatly improved, regardless of weight loss. As a result, not only weight loss but also serious reduction or elimination of comorbidities is observed.
Mini Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass, also called Roux-en-Y (roo-en-wy) gastric bypass, is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting the newly created pouch directly to the small intestine. After gastric bypass, swallowed food will go into this small pouch of stomach and then directly into the small intestine, thereby bypassing most of your stomach and the first section of your small intestine.
Gastric bypass is one of the most commonly performed types of bariatric surgery. Gastric bypass is done when diet and exercise haven't worked or when you have serious health problems because of your weight.
In general, gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries could be an option for you if:
Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or higher (extreme obesity).
Your BMI is 35 to 39.9 (obesity), and you have a serious weight-related health problem, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or severe sleep apnea. In some cases, you may qualify for certain types of weight-loss surgery if your BMI is 30 to 34 and you have serious weight-related health problems.
But gastric bypass isn't for everyone who is severely overweight. You may need to meet certain medical guidelines to qualify for weight-loss surgery. You likely will have an extensive screening process to see if you qualify.
You must also be willing to make permanent changes to lead a healthier lifestyle. You may be required to participate in long-term follow-up plans that include monitoring your nutrition, your lifestyle and behavior, and your medical conditions.
Revision Obesity Surgery
Revision surgeon; the name of the second operation carried out in case of failure of any operation, patient or technical problem.
Nowadays most revision surgeons; the ‘stomach cuff’, which we call the stomach band, due to inadequate weight loss and complications, should be removed and converted to another obesity surgeon. Will revision surgery be applied to people who have had Sleeve Gastrectomy?
Revision surgery may be needed if the person can not fit healthy eating habits for 18 months, can not achieve adequate weight gain, or if weight gain is observed again. Technical disadvantages are the result, an inexperienced surgeon or revision surgeon is consulted when adequate weight loss is not achieved. We must know that revision surgery is more difficult and requires surgery than surgery, which is done first.
Stomach (Intragastric Balloon)
Intragastric balloon placement is a weight-loss procedure that involves placing a saline-filled silicone balloon in your stomach. This helps you lose weight by limiting how much you can eat and making you feel fuller faster.
The intragastric balloon procedure may be an option if you have concerns about your weight, and diet and exercise haven't worked for you.
Like other weight-loss procedures, an intragastric balloon requires commitment to a healthier lifestyle. You need to make permanent healthy changes to your diet and get regular exercise to help ensure the long-term success of the procedure.
What is Gastric Balloon?
Gastric balloon is a balloon that is placed in stomach endoscopically and enables the patient to get full early and comply with the diet by taking up space in the stomach.
Who Can Have Gastric Balloon Procedure?
This procedure is suitable for patients aged 18-55 with a body mass index above 27 who cannot lose weight despite dieting.
Is It Necessary to Follow A Diet When Gastric Balloon Is Inserted?
The patients who have gastric balloon procedures have to follow a special 10-day diet after the procedure and we provide a healthy nutrition programme after that. The gastric balloon is administered to help you comply with this programme more easily.
How Long Does The Gastric Balloon Stay In Stomach?
A Gastric balloon is being placed into your stomach does not mean you will lose weight. The purpose of gastric balloon is to create satiation and help you to comply with the diet more easily. If you keep overeating and force yourself to eat more instead of complying with the diet and the programme given to you, it is not possible for us to help you. For this reason, it is very important for the patients who wish to undergo this procedure to be ready and follow the programme provided to them.
