Laparoscobic sleeve gastrectomy is the most frequently performed method.

Sleeve gastrectomy is a type of partial gastrectomy operation in which a large part of the greater curvature of the stomach is removed and a tube shape is given to the stomach. It is a volume limiter method. It is used as a first base operation for losing the surplus weight before the harder and complex surgeries such as gastric bypass, biliopancreatic diversion for those with very high BMI (>60 kg/m2 ). However, when it has been observed that it has a high efficiency on losing weight and metabolic outcomes just by itself, it is also started to be performed as primer surgery. Today, it is preferred increasingly for its technical convenience and good metabolic outcomes.

The operation is completed in 1-1.5 hour averagely.

Weight loss: 60-67% of the excess weight in the first year, 53-65% in the 5th year
Every month, a maximum of 10% loss of the weight is ensured. With checks made with blood tests, monthly controls are performed and healthy weight loss is ensured with regular nutritionist controls.

If you do not work in heavy duty, it is recommended to have a rest for 2 weeks, and 3 weeks for heavy duties.

After the operation, daily 30 minutes of walking and, after 15th day, passive exercises (stretching) for the patients discharged at day 3 are recommended.

The most common problems related to this surgery in the world are postoperative bleeding, leakage and emboli. Leakage rate in the world is 3.5% of the surgeries performed. In our country, this rate is below 1%. The professional experience of the surgeon performing the operation, the quality of the materials used during the operation, the patient’s compliance with the recommendations given after the operation and the presence of additional diseases of the patient are the main determinants of the possibility of leakage.
