Gastric Sleeve

Gastric sleeve surgery is a surgical procedure designed to improve health issues related to obesity. During the surgery, the volume of the stomach is significantly reduced, resulting in a decreased capacity to consume food. Additionally, the release of appetite hormones in the stomach decreases during the surgery, which promotes weight loss.

Preparation Process

On the day of the surgery, the patient is administered general anesthesia to induce unconsciousness. Several small incisions are made in the patient's abdominal area to allow the surgical team to perform the procedure. Using laparoscopic instruments and a camera, the surgeon gains access to the stomach.

Anesthesia and Surgery Commencement

Surgery Day Arrives: On the day of the surgery, the patient is administered general anesthesia to induce unconsciousness. Several small incisions are made in the patient's abdominal area to allow the surgical team to perform the procedure. Using laparoscopic instruments and a camera, the surgeon gains access to the stomach.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

The surgeon uses a device to reshape the stomach into a tube-like structure to significantly reduce its size. Approximately 80-85% of the stomach is removed, and the remaining portion is reshaped into a tube. This procedure helps in reducing the volume of the stomach and hence aids in having a decreased capacity to consume food.

Suturing and Closure

After the stomach reduction procedure is completed, the surgeon closes the incisions and stitches them up. Stitches are typically done using either absorbable or removable stitches.

Recovery and Follow-up

During the postoperative period, patients typically stay in the hospital for a few days. Throughout the recovery process, patients gradually transition from liquids to their normal diets. Regular doctor appointments are important during the postoperative period. Approximately 80-85% of the stomach is removed, and the remaining portion is reshaped into a tube. This procedure helps reduce the volume of the stomach, aiding in having a decreased capacity to consume food.
