SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY
After the first laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was performed in 2000, it has become the most frequently performed operation among obesity surgery options worldwide. In this surgery, depending on the width of the stomach, 60-90% of the stomach is removed vertically.
This is the part where the fasting hormone ''ghrelin'' is most released and the diabetic hormones are found.
Approximately 50-90% weight loss of excess weight is expected within 1 year after surgery.
Regression and improvement in obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, fatty liver, joint and bone diseases, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides are achieved.
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) leads to excellent weight loss. The weight loss is partly due to restriction caused as a result of reduced volume, peristalsis, and receptive relaxation of stomach and due to plasma ghrelin levels which fell significantly post-LSG, thus causing the reduction of appetite leading to effective weight loss after surgery.

Is the Obesity Surgery safe?
Sleeve Gastrectomy is the most common ariatric surgery approach in Europe and the World. Complication rates are relatively low.
For the overall success, the safest instruments should be used, the surgical team should be very careful and attentive, and the patient should follow the nutrition rules.
Many recent clinical studies and reviews have shown that bariatric and metabolic surgical safety is significantly increased. Total mortality in this surgery is approximately 0.1%. This rate is lower than the surgical risks of some routine operations like cholecystectomy and hip replacement.
Complications and Risks
The safest instruments should be used to reduce this ratio (2-3%), the surgical team should be very careful and attentive, and the patient should follow the nutrition rules. In such a case, the patient may be re-operated. The patient is expected to recover within a few weeks and can take oral food.
