Sleeve Gastrectomy

What is Sleeve Gastrectomy (Tube Stomach Surgery)?

Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical method used in the treatment of obesity and involves removing a large portion of the stomach and reshaping it into a tube-like structure. As a result, stomach volume is reduced, satiety is achieved with less food, and weight loss is facilitated. Also known medically as "sleeve gastrectomy," this method offers both effective and long-lasting results.

The operation is performed laparoscopically (minimally invasive). Approximately 70-80% of the stomach is removed, leaving behind a narrow, banana-shaped stomach. The digestive system continues to function normally, allowing the body to absorb essential nutrients.

Who Is Suitable for Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Sleeve gastrectomy is typically suitable for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 40. It is also recommended for patients with a BMI over 35 who suffer from comorbidities such as hypertension or type 2 diabetes. This surgery is an effective solution for those who are psychologically ready and unable to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.

A detailed medical evaluation is performed prior to surgery. Esteaura analyzes both the physical and psychological condition of patients to increase the success rate and offers a personalized treatment plan.

Sleeve Gastrectomy Experience with Esteaura

Esteaura has years of experience in performing sleeve gastrectomy and has carried out thousands of successful operations in this field. With advanced technology, a multidisciplinary approach, and a patient-centered philosophy, Esteaura ensures a safe surgical process.

Each patient receives a customized treatment plan. Anesthesiologists, dietitians, and surgeons work together to meet all the pre- and postoperative needs of the patient. Esteaura offers not just a surgery, but a holistic health journey.

Postoperative Process and Lifestyle Changes

During the first few days after surgery, patients follow a liquid diet. Over time, they transition to pureed and then solid foods. A personalized nutrition plan is created with the support of a dietitian. Rapid weight loss is typically seen in the first 6 months, with the target weight often reached within a year.

Patients must also adopt long-term lifestyle changes. Physical activity, balanced nutrition, and psychological support are essential parts of the process. Esteaura supports patients with continuous postoperative counseling and monitoring services.
