Sleeve gastrectomy, also known as gastric sleeve surgery, is a surgical method used in the treatment of obesity. This surgery involves removing a large portion of the stomach and leaving the remaining part in the shape of a tube. This reduces the volume of the stomach, making the person feel full with less food intake. Sleeve gastrectomy is an effective method for weight loss and can also help treat health issues related to obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
- The surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
- It is done laparoscopically (minimally invasive), which speeds up the recovery process.
- Approximately 75-80% of the stomach is removed, leaving the remaining stomach in a tube shape.
The reduced stomach volume causes the person to feel full with less food.
Production of the hunger hormone ghrelin is reduced, which contributes to decreased appetite.
- Provides rapid and effective weight loss.
- Improvements are observed in health issues related to obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
- Less pain and a faster recovery process due to the laparoscopic method.
- Nutrient absorption is not affected as there are no changes to the intestines.
- Diet and lifestyle changes are crucial.
- Post-surgery nutrition should consist of small portions and balanced foods.
- Regular exercise is recommended.
- Follow-up doctor appointments and necessary vitamin-mineral supplements should not be neglected.
Since sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical intervention, the individual's health status, degree of obesity, and the necessity of the surgery should be thoroughly evaluated by a doctor. The surgery is a significant tool in the fight against obesity, but success also depends on the patient's adherence to lifestyle changes post-surgery.
