MORE FREEDOM, MORE LIFE!
Gastric Sleeve Surgery, or VSG, is a minimally invasive operation done through tiny incision(s) in the abdominal wall to resect a large part of the stomach. The newly-formed pouch is a small reservoir for food to reduce caloric intake and helps make portion control a lifelong habit. It also causes hormonal changes, leading to decreased hunger, improved satiety, and remission of obesity-related diseases like diabetes.

What Is a Gastric Sleeve?
Gastric sleeve surgery (also called a sleeve gastrectomy) involves reducing the size of the stomach to about 15% of its original size. When your stomach is smaller, you will feel full after eating less food, and your body will absorb fewer calories. This leads to a healthy rate of dramatic weight loss.
The gastric sleeve procedure is a safe and effective weight loss surgery. In fact, a five-year study conducted by the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery found that 98% of gastric sleeve recipients showed effective results and zero complications.
Like many weight loss procedures, sleeve gastrectomies are performed laparoscopically, so there is minimal scarring. During the surgery, the bariatric surgeon will remove stomach tissue and staple the remaining tissue shut so that it forms the shape of a tube, or “sleeve.”
A five-year study of laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery showed effective results and zero complications for over 98% of patients.
How Gastric Sleeve Surgery Works
Gastric Sleeve Surgery, or Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG), is a definitive answer to obesity. The operation reduces the stomach volume by 80% by cutting and reshaping it to resemble a banana. Resection of the gastric fundus significantly lowers the plasma ghrelin production responsible for hunger. Patients experience restriction and less urge to eat, resulting in rapid weight loss. You will have more control over living healthier and maintaining a slimmer body. The sleeve gastrectomy serves you in several ways to lose excess weight naturally;
- Reduction in stomach capacity: Fills with smaller-sized portions.
- Appetite Suppression: Less hunger sensation due to decreased appetite-stimulating Ghrelin and increased Peptide-YY (PYY).
- Satiety Enhancement: Increased sensitivity to Leptin hormones (protein) responsible for feeling full.
- Accelerated Gastric Emptying (GE): Foods empty faster to produce weight loss, similar to gastric bypass.
- Increased GLP-1 Concentrations: Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) helps with weight loss and blood sugar.

Gastric Sleeve, which has an important place in the treatment of obesity, is a vital surgery for people who have difficulty in losing weight today. In this surgical operation, the main goal is to reduce the storage capacity of the stomach, and as a result of the operation, the stomach has a tube-shaped appearance. With the operation, a large part of the stomach is irreversibly removed and turned into a system that continues with the esophagus and intestines. As a result of this operation, which lasts about 1.5 hours, a great decrease in the appetite of the patients is observed.
There are many methods used in bariatric surgery. Gastric Bypass surgery is one of the most preferred surgical methods in obesity surgery. Gastric Bypass surgery is the most common type of combined surgery. Gastric Bypass is one of the methods that draws attention with its successful results in bariatric surgery. It results in reliable weight loss with acceptable risks and minimal side effects. With this surgery, while the stomach volume is reduced, the absorption of nutrients decreases because the path traveled in the small intestine is shortened. In this way, patients reach the feeling of fullness quickly with much smaller portions. At the same time, the absorption of a significant part of the high-calorie foods taken is prevented.
It is one of the most preferred risk-free obesity treatments today. Another name is gastric balloon. It is not a surgical procedure, but the procedure is performed under light sedation, with the endoscopic method, within 15-20 minutes.
It is applied by inflating it after placing a balloon in the stomach. With this method, the feeling of fullness is provided in a shorter time due to the earlier filling of the stomach. However, it is a temporary method. The gastric balloon stays in the stomach for 6 to 12 months. After 6-12 months, the gastric balloon is removed from the patient’s stomach.
In studies with a gastric balloon, a significant regression was found in metabolic syndrome, diabetes, gout, and cholesterol-triglyceride levels after 6 months-1 year follow-up.
Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the world due to changing lifestyle and diet. Opportunities in the treatment of diabetes, which arise independently of the pancreas’s capacity to produce insulin and are caused by environmental factors rather than genetic predisposition, are quite advanced. The treatment of the disease starts from the diagnosis and the first thing to do is lifestyle changes. These changes, such as removing sugar from the diet, starting sports exercises, and switching to a regular life, save many patients years. The treatment of diabetes has become much easier with the development of metabolic surgery today.
The application of surgery in the treatment of diabetes is determined by the joint decision of the patient and the doctor. In Istanbul Surgery, Assoc. Dr. Hasan Abuoğlu and Assoc. Dr. Mehmet Kamil Yıldız evaluate the patient’s condition with the necessary tests and examinations and prepare a very comfortable and safe treatment environment in this regard.
