SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY

WHAT IS SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY SURGERY?

In sleeve gastrectomy surgery, the volume of the stomach is reduced by approximately 60-100c cc, and it is aimed to feel full with little portions of food. During the operation, a certain part of the stomach is surgically removed and a tube-shaped stomach (about the size of a banana) is left. In addition, the feeling of hunger disappears as the part of the stomach that secretes hunger hormone is also removed.

After the operation, the amount of food eaten is limited. Since the absorption of food continues the same way, there is no need for external vitamin or mineral supplements.

WHAT ARE THE TECHNIQUES USED IN SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY SURGERY?

Laparoscopic method is used in sleeve gastrectomy surgeries. That is, the operation is performed by entering the abdominal cavity through small incisions. The operation takes about 2 hours. During this time, you will be put to sleep under general anesthesia. At the end of the operation, the stomach, which has taken the form of a tube, is closed with suture tools called staplers, without being manually stitched.

IN WHICH SITUATIONS CAN YOU HAVE SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY SURGERY?

Gastric sleeve surgeries are not for everyone. Obese patients with a body mass index above 40 who cannot lose weight, or patients with overweight and weight-related complaints such as insulin resistance and joint disease can undergo surgery after the examinations by our doctors.

POST-OPERATION RECOVERY PROCESS

On the first day, a leak test (blue water) is performed, then the patient is allowed to drink water in small sips. Being active is very important for a fast and smooth recovery. In order to minimize the risk of clot formation in the leg veins, embolism socks should be worn along with plenty of walking. In order to protect lung functions, it is necessary to do as deep breathing exercises as possible with the recommended devices.

Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of operation performed in patients with a BMI of 35 and above. Gastric sleeve gastrectomy is an operation performed by entering your abdomen through 4 holes with laparoscopy. With this surgery, 4%-3% of your stomach is removed.

Since sleeve gastrectomy operations are performed with a closed method, they are classified as comfortable surgery. Although sleeve gastrectomy surgery does not have a high risk, it has risks related to leakage, bleeding, embolism and anesthesia.

Gastric sleeve surgery takes an average of 1 hour. After the operation, the patient is discharged after staying in the hospital for 2 nights, after the controls on the 3rd day.

The pain experienced after the surgery is just gas pain. Your pain will wear off in a short time, as you get to walk 4 hours after the surgery and it will be easier to get rid of the gas.

4 hours after the surgery, you will be able to meet your personal needs yourself. After discharge, you can quickly return to your daily life.

After sleeve gastrectomy, your nutrition progresses under the control of a bariatric dietitian. You are fed with liquid for the first 15 days and puree for the next 15 days. As of the 1st month, you can switch to solid nutrition. You should make it a habit to chew what you eat at meals and consume it in 30 to 45 minutes.
