Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Turkey

Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical method used for obese patients to help them lose weight. With this surgical procedure, the size of the stomach is reduced and the amount of food consumed is limited.

In sleeve gastrectomy surgeries performed at Private Hürrem Sultan Hospital, a large part of the stomach is reduced to leave a smaller stomach the size of a banana. Thus, your new stomach size limits the amount of food you can eat.

Gastric sleeve surgery may be the best option for you, especially if you prefer a weight loss surgery that will help you lose weight by limiting the amount of food you consume, but will not prevent the absorption of nutrients, and especially that does not require the presence of an object in your body. Since it is not possible to go back after sleeve gastrectomy surgery, it is defined as a permanent procedure.
