What does it mean to have stomach surgery, and what is a sleeve gastrectomy?

Sleeve gastrectomy is a vertical resection of the stomach. During the operation, the volume of the stomach is reduced and the surgeons also remove the cells that produce the hormone ghrelin (the hormone that causes the feeling of hunger) in the patient.

The patient is monitored by an endocrinologist before following the procedure for a period of time. It can be safely said that the weight loss begins immediately after the operation, because due to the reduction of the stomach volume and the removal of the hunger-inducing hormone, the patient already eats a little and soon gets the feeling of weight gain.

Following a sleeve gastrectomy, individuals experience weight loss of several dozen kilograms.

Sleeve gastrectomy enables the patient say goodbye to extra weight while also regressing (decreasing) the diseases associated with obesity.

After the stomach reduction procedure, the patient wakes up the second day, moves around, returns home in five days, and begins exercising in one month.

Why laparoscopic method, why bloodless operation is beneficial for the patient?

The benefits of laparoscopic surgery are numerous. First of all, because it is less stressful, recovery goes more quickly and easily, and the recovery period is significantly shorter and lighter. Additionally, there is a lower chance of postoperative problems and no need for special care, bed rest, or physical activity restrictions. Because of their small size, stitches disintegrate more easily.

Laparoscopic procedures maintain the abdominal cavity closed, which reduces the risk of infection after the procedure. Postoperative hernia is virtually unheard of in laparoscopic surgery, however it is extremely prevalent in open procedures.
