What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Gastric sleeve, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a kind of bariatric surgery that ensures safe, permanent weight loss.

Patients can expect to lose an average of 20kg (45 pounds) in 6 to 8 months, with some losing as much as twice. Such results are achieved through a triple action:

  •  Stomach Reduction: sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) removes up to 90% of the patient’s stomach, permanently limiting food intake.
  • Ghrelin Limit: a reduced stomach produces less ghrelin, the hormone responsible for the feeling of hunger.
  • Insulin Production: the lesser quantity of ghrelin in circulation raises insulin, which reduces blood sugar.

Precautions in Turkey for Sleeve Gastrectomy

Post-bariatric patients experience consistent weight loss after surgery, especially during the first months. In certain cases, this can lead to excess skin that cannot be naturally reabsorbed by the body. This is especially true for patients over 35 BMI.

In this case, patients may consider post-bariatric surgery for purely aesthetic reasons. The most popular post-bariatric surgeries are abdominoplasty and liposuction. Natural Clinic guarantees special offers for its post-bariatric patients, as a sign of courtesy and thankfulness for their loyalty.

VSG Aftercare

After the gastric sleeve procedure, patients are required to follow a strict liquid diet that progresses to pureed food. This is for recovery reasons. Your stomach will be delicate for several weeks, or potentially months. Patients must make sure they follow the guidelines to avoid diarrhea, stomach pain, gases and other issues.

After this initial recovery period, patients having undergone gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey are required to commit to lifelong diet and lifestyle habits. For up to 12-months, follow-ups will be useful to monitor your nutrition, mental health and well-being.

Gastric Surgery Recovery Diet

Thorough instructions will be given to patients and adapted to their specific needs and constitution. The following guide can be used as a general guideline of what a proper recovery diet looks like after gastric surgery.

  • Drink at least 2 litres of fluids per day
  • Eat and drink patiently, avoiding dumping syndrome and chewing properly
  • Eat protein foods
  • Avoid fats and sugars
  • Avoid smoking and alcohol
  • Avoid tea and coffee, especially in the first weeks
  • Take all required mineral and vitamin supplements
