Gastric Sleeve - PROMED CLINIC

Gastric reduction surgeries are applied to people between the ages of 18-70 who have been diagnosed with severe obesity. In addition, the body mass index value of the person who will have the surgery should be 40 and above. The body mass index is between 35-40, and it is also applied to people with diseases such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea.

It is not necessary to expect instant thinning after sleeve gastrectomy operation, but it is seen that the expected weight is lost in the following process. The most weight loss occurs in the first month after the operation. Although it may vary depending on the differences in metabolism, an average of 10-20 kilos of weight loss is recorded in the first month. Weight loss of 30-40 kilos can occur within 3 months.

The ghrelin hormone, which is secreted in the stomach and causes you to experience hunger, is controlled by the stomach reduction process and loss of appetite occurs. This is because the part of the stomach that secretes this hormone is surgically removed. In addition, since the stomach capacity is reduced, a feeling of fullness is experienced.

Since the operation is performed with the closed surgery method, the recovery period is short. After the surgery, the person can start walking immediately. But he needs to stay in the hospital for 1-4 days. The person whose treatment is completed after being followed up is discharged at the end of this period.

It is advantageous to apply the procedure by laparoscopic method. It is sufficient to stay in the hospital for a few days after sleeve gastrectomy. In this process, the risk of leakage is monitored. Then, the stitches of the discharged person are greatly healed after 15 days. It is necessary to leave the 1-month process behind in order to observe complete recovery.

Consumption of carbohydrates should be limited and sugary drinks should not be consumed. It is recommended not to consume liquids with meals after the surgery. It is necessary to wait 30 minutes after the meal for fluid consumption. Liquids consumed with meals cause food to pass through the new stomach structure faster. Thus, complaints such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea can be seen.
