Gastric Sleeve: Quick Look
Overview of the Sleeve Gastrectomy journey in Istanbul.
What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric sleeve, also known as sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), is a bariatric surgery that ensures safe, permanent weight loss. Patients can expect to lose an average of 20kg (45 pounds) in 6 to 8 months, with some losing twice as much.
Such results are achieved through a triple action mechanism:
- Stomach Reduction: Removes up to 80-90% of the patient’s stomach, permanently limiting food intake.
- Ghrelin Limit: A reduced stomach produces less ghrelin, the hormone responsible for the feeling of hunger.
- Metabolic Change: The hormonal changes often lead to reduced blood sugar and improved insulin resistance.
Am I a Candidate for Sleeve Gastrectomy?
A gastric sleeve in Turkey can have permanent weight loss results. However, surgeons operate on patients who meet specific criteria:

- You are committed to long-term lifestyle changes.

Your Gastric Sleeve Journey: 5 Steps
1. Arrival & Assessment
Upon arrival in Istanbul, our VIP transfer team will greet you. You will undergo a comprehensive pre-op assessment where your doctor investigates the main causes behind your weight and plans treatment accordingly.
2. Preparation
Before surgery, your medical team will conduct all required medical tests, including blood tests, x-rays, and anesthesia analysis to ensure you are fit for the procedure.
3. The Surgery
VSG surgery is performed through laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) under general anesthesia. 4 small incisions are made to remove approximately 80% of your stomach mass.
4. Closure
Once the required stomach mass is removed, your surgeon will staple the remaining stomach to form a tube or "sleeve". The incisions will then be closed with sutures.
5. Recovery
You will spend 3 nights in the hospital for proper monitoring, followed by a stay at your hotel where our nurses will continue conducting regular check-ups before you fly home.
Gastric Surgery Recovery Diet
After the gastric sleeve procedure, patients are required to follow a strict diet to allow the stomach to heal. Here is a general guideline:
For the first few days, drink mostly water, broth, and clear liquids. Stay hydrated by drinking at least 2 liters of fluids per day.
Gradually introduce pureed, soft foods. Eat and drink patiently, chewing properly to avoid dumping syndrome.
Focus on protein-rich foods. Avoid fats, sugars, and carbonated drinks. Take all required mineral and vitamin supplements.
Aftercare Tips
- Avoid smoking and alcohol.
- Avoid tea and coffee in the first weeks.
- Commit to lifelong healthy diet habits.
- Attend 12-month follow-ups for monitoring.
