Performing gastric sleeve surgeries by doctors who are trained and experienced in bariatric surgery and specialize in this field seriously prevents complications during the operation. In this respect, it is very important to choose doctors who are specialized in their field and experienced in the field of bariatric surgery.

What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

A more effective method in obesity treatment is gastric sleeve surgery. In patients with a body mass index over 35-40, 80% of the stomach is removed and the stomach is turned into a tube. It is performed laparoscopically with a closed method. Laparoscopy is inserted into the holes opened in the anterior abdominal wall without making a large incision. The procedure is completed after the large part of the stomach is removed. Although it is a procedure with complications, it is one of the most reliable methods.

What should be taken into consideration after sleeve gastrectomy surgery?

If patients do not pay attention to their nutrition for a long time after sleeve gastrectomy surgery, the weight lost may be regained. Therefore, radical changes in nutrition and lifestyle are required after the operation. After the operation, the patient experiences long-term permanent weight loss. At the same time, a significant improvement is observed in weight-related diseases. After the operation, a detailed nutrition program is recommended to the patient. After the surgery, the transition to liquid, soft and solid food is done in a controlled manner. First of all, a clear liquid diet is given for 2-3 days, a liquid diet for the first two weeks, a puree diet for the third and fourth weeks, a soft solid diet for the fifth and eighth weeks, and normal standard diets for the ninth week and beyond. After the surgery, the patient may need to stay in the hospital for 2 or 3 days. After the necessary tests and examinations, the patient is discharged in good health.

What are the Complications of Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Although it is a safe surgery, there are some complications, as in all surgeries performed with the laparoscopic method. Complications such as some bleeding, wounds or damage to organs, and respiratory problems are present for all similar operations. At the same time, complications of anastomotic leakage may occur specific to the operation. These leaks are the most feared situation by patients during sleeve gastrectomy surgeries. The selected surgeon is not experienced, leakage does not occur during and after the operation and/or is detected early. It is a complication that can cause serious health problems if not noticed by the surgeon. There is also a high probability of complications such as post-thrombolytic syndrome and pulmonary embolism. In order to avoid such situations, it is important to follow the recommendations of the specialist doctor.
