GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY IN TURKEY WITH SURMECCA

Gastric sleeve surgery, medically known as sleeve gastrectomy, is one of the most effective and widely performed bariatric procedures for long-term weight loss.

At Surmecca, we coordinate your treatment in leading accredited hospitals in Istanbul, combining advanced surgical care with personalized wellness support for international patients.

During the procedure, approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduces food intake, controls hunger hormones, and supports sustainable weight loss.

WHAT DOES GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY INVOLVE?

The surgery is performed laparoscopically (minimally invasive), using small incisions for faster healing and reduced discomfort.

The procedure:

✓ Reduces stomach capacity
✓ Helps you feel full sooner
✓ Lowers appetite naturally
✓ Promotes steady, long-term weight loss

Most patients return to light activities within days and resume normal routines within a few weeks, following medical guidance.

Both procedures are effective bariatric solutions. Our specialists help determine the most appropriate option based on your health profile.

Gastric Sleeve

✓ Part of the stomach is removed
✓ No intestinal rerouting
✓ Lower surgical complexity

Gastric Bypass

✓ Small stomach pouch created

FAQS

Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a bariatric procedure in which approximately 80% of the stomach is removed. The remaining stomach is shaped into a narrow sleeve, which significantly reduces food intake and helps control hunger hormones, leading to substantial and sustained weight loss.
Most patients lose between 60% and 70% of their excess body weight within the first 12 to 18 months after surgery. Results vary depending on individual factors such as starting weight, adherence to dietary guidelines, physical activity, and overall lifestyle changes.
Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures worldwide and is considered safe when performed by experienced surgeons in accredited facilities. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, which your surgeon will discuss with you during your consultation.
Most patients can return to light daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery, including the ability to resume exercise and more strenuous activity, typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. You will follow a structured diet plan progressing from liquids to soft foods and eventually a regular diet over 4 to 6 weeks.
Yes, a structured diet plan is essential after gastric sleeve surgery. You will begin with clear liquids, gradually progressing to pureed foods, soft foods, and eventually a regular balanced diet over 4 to 6 weeks. Long-term dietary habits, including smaller portion sizes and nutrient-rich foods, are important for lasting results.
A gastric sleeve involves removing part of the stomach to create a smaller sleeve-shaped stomach, while gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the intestines. Gastric sleeve is generally less complex, maintains natural digestion, and has a shorter recovery time. Your surgeon will recommend the best option based on your health profile.
You may be a candidate if you have a BMI of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or more with obesity-related health conditions. Candidates are typically between 18 and 65 years old and have not achieved lasting weight loss through diet and exercise alone. A full medical assessment is required to confirm eligibility.
