Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric Surgery

Sleeve gastrectomy is an obesity surgery that is performed via the surgical removal of approximately 80% of the stomach. Weight loss is aimed via multiple mechanisms. A newly-formed stomach, with its significantly lower capacity, allows lesser food and calorie intake compared to a regular stomach. However, the main impact is ensured through the stabilization of hormones regulating fasting, postprandial and regular blood sugar.

An essential point which a patient must be aware of is that a new way of life should be embraced after the surgery. Adopting a low-carb and high-protein diet under the supervision of nutrition and dietetic experts, having more small meals, developing an effective chewing habit, daily multivitamins, calcium and vitamin D supplement intakes and physical exercise are of utmost importance.
