What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Gastric sleeve surgery stands out as an important step in the fight against obesity. In this surgical procedure, the stomach volume is reduced by creating a tube-shaped organ that extends across the stomach. This promotes weight loss by allowing the person to consume less food. Surgery is usually considered if obesity does not respond to other treatment methods or causes serious health problems. Another advantage of sleeve gastrectomy surgery is that it increases appetite control by causing changes in the person’s hormone balance after surgery.

 

After sleeve gastrectomy surgery, the weight loss experienced by individuals can usually be rapid and effective. However, this process also requires lifestyle changes and a long-term commitment. Support from dietitians, psychologists and other health professionals is important in this process. Regular follow-up and control visits before and after surgery are critical to monitor the individual’s health status and prevent possible problems. Gastric sleeve surgery not only supports weight loss, but can also help the individual step into a healthy future by improving their quality of life.
