Gastric Sleeve Surgery Antalya Turkey
Gastric sleeve surgery in Antalya, Turkey is one of the most effective and scientifically proven treatments for obesity and obesity-related health problems. At EsteVia Clinic Antalya, we provide this life-changing procedure with a strong focus on patient safety, long-term success, and patient satisfaction, supported by highly experienced surgeons and a multidisciplinary medical team.
What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy in Turkey, is a bariatric (weight loss) surgery performed on patients suffering from severe obesity or excessive weight gain that significantly affects their daily life, mobility, and overall health.
This procedure is especially recommended when obesity makes everyday activities difficult and leads to serious medical conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, joint pain, and psychological distress.
During the operation, approximately 80% of the stomach is permanently removed. The removed part contains the sections responsible for producing the hunger hormone (ghrelin). As a result:
- Patients feel full after 2–3 bites
- Unhealthy and excessive appetite is significantly reduced
- Calorie intake naturally decreases
Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve Surgery
At EsteVia Clinic Antalya, gastric sleeve surgery is performed laparoscopically, meaning it is a minimally invasive procedure using small incisions and advanced medical equipment.
Thanks to the laparoscopic technique:
- No large surgical scars
- No external stitches
- Minimal post-operative pain
- Faster recovery time
Patients typically stay 2–3 days in the hospital and a total of 7–8 days in Antalya, which is sufficient for surgery, recovery, and follow-up checks.
Who Is Suitable for Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Not every patient is automatically suitable for gastric sleeve surgery. Patient safety is our top priority.
The main criteria include:
- Body Mass Index (BMI) above 35
- Age of the patient
- Previous surgeries
- Existing medical conditions
- Strong immune system
Patients undergoing active cancer treatment are not eligible for surgery. However, patients who have completed their cancer treatment and receive approval from their oncologist may be considered.
The final decision is always made by the surgeon after evaluating:
- Detailed blood tests
- Hormone levels
- Overall medical history
For female patients, hormonal balance is especially important. If hormone levels are not within normal ranges, it is recommended to correct them before surgery to ensure optimal results.
Patient Information Form
When patients contact us, we ask them to complete the following form. This information is extremely important for determining surgical eligibility and preparing the safest treatment plan.
Please fill in the information below:
- Name and surname
- Birthdate
- Weight
- Height
- Chronic diseases
- Previous surgeries
- Medicines you use
- Smoking / Alcohol
- Allergy
- Blood thinner usage
- Piercing
- HIV / HCV / Hepatitis B
Post-Operative Care and Recovery
Recovery does not end with the surgery itself. In fact, post-operative care is the most critical phase.
Approximately 4 hours after surgery, patients are encouraged to walk. In the first days, patients consume only water and liquid foods, and breathing exercises are actively performed to support lung function.
Patients are followed closely:
- 10 days after surgery
- 3 months
- 6 months
- 1 year
The goal is fat loss, not muscle loss. This is why dietitian-guided nutrition plans are essential.
Nutrition, Vitamins, and Long-Term Success
After surgery, patients follow a structured diet plan. Proper nutrition helps prevent deficiencies in:
- Iron
- Vitamin B12
- Vitamin B1
If these nutrients are not maintained, patients may lose weight but experience health complications. Therefore, the first year under doctor and dietitian supervision is extremely important.
Health Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric sleeve surgery improves or resolves many obesity-related conditions in up to 85% of patients, including:
- High blood pressure
- Type 2 diabetes
- Sleep apnea
- Psychological issues
- Infertility related to obesity
Scientific studies also confirm that this surgery can extend life expectancy by at least 10 years, while dramatically improving self-confidence and quality of life.
