    How is Gastric Sleeve Surgery is Performed?

    Gastric Sleeve surgery, is a surgical procedure that is typically performed in the following steps:

    Before the surgery, patients typically undergo a thorough medical evaluation, which may include blood tests, imaging, and consultations with the surgical team. Patients are also advised to follow a specific pre-operative diet and lifestyle modifications to prepare for the procedure.
    Gastric sleeve surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, so the patient is completely asleep and doesn’t feel any pain during the procedure.
    The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdominal area. These incisions are used to access the stomach.
    The next step involves the removal of a large portion of the stomach, typically about 75-85% of it. This leaves behind a narrow, tube-like stomach pouch, resembling a sleeve.
    To create the new stomach shape, the surgeon uses surgical staples to seal the remaining stomach tissue.
    In some cases, the surgeon may reinforce the staple line with additional sutures to minimize the risk of leaks.
    The surgeon carefully checks for any bleeding or leaks, ensuring that the new stomach pouch is properly formed and secure.
    The patient is then moved to a recovery area where they are monitored as they wake up from anesthesia. Recovery times can vary, but most patients can expect to stay in the hospital for a day or two after the surgery.

      Frequently Asked Questions About Gastric Sleeve Surgery

      Patients who need Gastric Sleeve surgery and follow other program requirements typically lose 65% of their excess body weight after this operation. In addition, Gastric Sleeve surgery cures or eliminates many obesity-related problems, such as:
      • Diabetes
      • Hypertension
      • Sleep Apnea

      Gastric Sleeve surgery is performed through incisions in several areas that effectively reduce the risk of potential complications, post-operative pain, and the time it takes until the patient returns to work and other activities.

       

      Patients will need time outside of work to try to develop durable, healthy eating habits while adapting to their new anatomy. However, the pain associated with surgery is usually mild (at rates that vary from person to person), and short-term painkillers try to relieve the pain. At the end of the 6-week period, the patient can gradually return to his social life (provided that, of course, he pays attention to his diet given by the doctor after surgery).

      Absolutely! Perhaps more important than the actual operation is the change in patients ‘ eating habits that are given before surgery and are desired to be applied. Patients are told the details and outlines of a healthy diet. At this point, it is of particular importance for everyone to understand what a gram of carbohydrates, protein and fat is and in what combinations we should eat them. There is a limited time period in which the patient will lose weight at a higher rate than a normal individual. The important thing is to develop healthy and sustainable eating habits that will help the patient maintain this weight loss after the body adapts to the operation.

      There is no operation without possible complications. However, the introduction of laparoscopy into the field of bariatric surgery has led to a revolution in not only effectiveness, but also the risk placed on the patient.

       

      A worldwide study shows that the risk of death is 0.08% in light of data from patients with Gastric Sleeve surgery, which is less than gallbladder surgery or hip replacement surgery. Moreover, there is good data that there is a reduction in mortality rate of up to 89% in individuals undergoing surgery, according to a research group that is not linked to the many obesity-related medical problems addressed by weight loss surgery.

      Gastric Sleeve surgery is a restrictive procedure. It greatly reduces the size of the stomach and limits the amount of food that can be eaten at a time. It does not cause decreased absorption of nutrients or conditions such as skipping your intestines. Gastric Sleeve surgery can cause decreased appetite. In addition to reducing the size of the stomach, Gastric Sleeve surgery reduces the amount of “hunger hormone” produced by the stomach. This can contribute to weight loss after the procedure. This is the main reason why a feeling of satiety quickly occurs after eating a small amount of food and a few more hours of satiety is felt.

      Patients may be able to lose 40% to 70% of their excess body weight in the first year after surgery, depending on their weight measured before surgery. Many disorders associated with obesity tend to improve after Gastric Sleeve surgery. Diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and abnormal cholesterol levels are improved or treated in more than 75% of patients undergoing Gastric Sleeve surgery. Although long-term studies are not yet available, weight loss after Gastric Sleeve surgery results in a real improvement in the first year after surgery, including these conditions of medical disorders.

       

      There are many benefits that you can expect after undergoing Gastric Sleeve surgery. Less weight can make it much easier to walk around and allow you to enjoy a range of new activities that can improve your overall fitness and health.

      Yes, it is possible to regain weight after Gastric Sleeve surgery, and this tends to occur when patients return to their old eating habits. If you follow the diet list given by the doctor, you may not experience this condition again. But it is important to note that Gastric Sleeve surgery is not a “cure” for your weight problems, but a powerful tool to help you manage your weight. If you consume high amounts of junk food and do not engage in physical activity, you will gain weight again. More importantly, to maintain this weight, continuing to plan your meals, eating small portions, and continuing to do physical activity is very important in terms of not gaining weight.
      Every medical treatment has a failure rate, and Gastric Sleeve surgery is no exception. A small proportion of patients who have Gastric Sleeve surgery (about 10%) do not succeed due to various reasons, such as inability to comply with nutritional requirements or lack of physical activity. Some patients may also have problems if they cannot take vitamin and mineral supplements.
      It is common to experience some discomfort after Gastric Sleeve surgery. The pain tends to come mainly from the abdominal area, but mild left shoulder pain may also be experienced as a result of the gas (carbon dioxide) used to inflate the abdomen during surgery. The use of simple painkillers will be sufficient to solve the pain problem.
      This depends on the nature of your profession. If you have a job that is not physically active, then you can usually return to work within 1-2 weeks. Because by this time, the wounds will have healed and you will feel much less discomfort. If your job is physically challenging, you may need a little more time to get back to work. It typically takes 6-8 weeks for your stomach to heal, and during this time it is very important that you follow the specific dietary rules as closely as possible.
      Gastric Sleeve surgery is technically simpler than gastric bypass. Instead of rearranging the anatomy of the patient’s stomach and small intestine, as in gastric bypass surgery, Gastric Sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) aims to resize the stomach to affect weight loss.
