Sleeve gastrectomy — A modern solution to the problem of excess weight!

Sleeve gastrectomy, also known as sleeve resection, is a modern and effective method of combating obesity that helps thousands of people around the world regain control over their health and quality of life. This procedure involves removing part of the stomach, resulting in it taking the shape of a narrow sleeve. Such an operation not only reduces the volume of the stomach but also decreases the production of the hunger hormone — ghrelin, which contributes to significant weight loss and improvement in overall health. Dr. Uyan uses modern techniques that minimize risks and ensure rapid recovery.

Advantages of sleeve gastrectomy

• Significant weight loss of 60-70% of excess weight
• Reduction of stomach volume by 75-80%
• Decrease in ghrelin levels — the "hunger hormone"
• Improvement in associated conditions: diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea
• Short operation time and quick recovery

About the procedure

The procedure is performed using modern laparoscopic technologies, which ensures minimal trauma, rapid recovery, and a short rehabilitation period. Experienced surgeons, such as Associate Professor Mikail Uyan, approach each patient with special thoroughness and attention, guaranteeing high quality and safety of the operation.

Indications for sleeve gastrectomy

• High body mass index with a BMI of 31 and above, which corresponds to severe obesity
• Can also be considered for patients with a BMI of 31-35 if they have comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea
• Patients with obesity-related diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, osteoarthritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease may be candidates for this surgery if excess weight aggravates their condition
• People who have not been able to achieve significant weight loss through diet, exercise, and medication may consider sleeve gastrectomy as an alternative

Upon arrival, various preoperative procedures and tests will be conducted to assess your health condition. After the tests are completed, you will be examined by an anesthesiologist. Your attending physician, along with an interpreter, will visit you, conduct an examination, and answer all questions about the upcoming operation. Additionally, a chest examination, lung function tests, and cardiological examination will be conducted. These procedures are usually performed the day before surgery.

Before the endoscopy, your attending physician will visit you and provide information about the procedure. You will need to refrain from eating for about 8-9 hours before the endoscopy. All necessary tests and examinations will be completed. A nurse will escort you to the endoscopy department, where the procedure will be performed under sedation. The doctor will examine your stomach and prepare it for sleeve gastrectomy surgery. After a 15-20 minute endoscopy, you will be transferred to the operating room, where the anesthesiologist will begin the anesthesia procedure in the presence of the attending physician. The sleeve gastrectomy operation, including all necessary procedures, takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. After the operation, you will be transferred to the recovery room.

In the ward, your blood pressure, pulse, respiratory functions, and wound healing will be monitored. Your attending physician will visit you after the operation and provide information with the help of an interpreter.
