Gastric Sleeve
Gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy), which is widely used in bariatric surgery, is an operation performed by removing 70-80% of the area called the fundus. The removed area produces the hunger hormone (ghrelin). It gets its name because the stomach takes a shape like a sleeve after surgery. During this surgery performed under general anesthesia, adverse health conditions such as cancer, systemic diseases, metabolic disorders, hormone disorders, and substance abuse may affect the operation. It is an operation that should be performed with extreme caution in consultation with a specialist with serious medical knowledge.
Since it is an operation that can pose serious health problems and life threats in individuals who do not change their diet, nutrition, and life habits after the surgery, the physician should not go beyond his word and the eating habits should be corrected. Everyone complains of being overweight. Different solutions are offered for obesity, which can harm individuals in terms of aesthetics, self-confidence, and psychology. Gastric sleeve surgery is not suitable for everyone.
