Sleeve Gastrectomy (Tube Stomach)
GENERAL FEATURES OF THE OPERATION
Sleeve Gastrectomy is a restrictive bariatric procedure that reduces the stomach’s capacity without affecting calorie absorption. It has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its simplicity and effectiveness.
During the surgery, approximately 80% of the stomach is removed using surgical staples, leaving a narrow, sleeve-shaped stomach — hence the name “Tube Stomach.” Patients feel full faster and consume smaller portions, but the calories in the food are fully absorbed.
Because a large portion of the stomach is permanently removed, this procedure is irreversible.
Scientific studies show that patients typically experience the following weight loss pattern after Sleeve Gastrectomy:
| 6 Weeks: | Starting Weight | %10 |
|---|---|---|
| 3 Months: | Starting Weight | %15 |
| 6 Months: | Starting Weight | %20 |
| 9 Months: | Starting Weight | %25 |
| 12 Months: | Starting Weight | %30 – 35 |
(Actual results may vary depending on diet, lifestyle, and physical activity.)
Performed by expert surgeons in JCI-accredited hospitals using laparoscopic techniques, Sleeve Gastrectomy provides a safe, effective, and long-term solution for weight loss and improved health.
