Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric Sleeve in Turkey is usually performed through a laparoscopy, involving the removal of 75-80% of the patientʼs stomach. The laparoscopic method allows for a shorter recovery and safer surgical procedure. Removing a big part of your stomach can store less food, and patients feel full sooner. The secretion of ghrelin, the hormone causing the feeling of hunger, will also be diminished, all of this leading to a fast weight loss. The effectiveness of this method makes it one of the most preferred surgeries worldwide.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass in Turkey entails connecting the small intestine to the top portion of the stomach. The aim is to shorten the food’s time in the stomach, thus decreasing calorie absorption. Surgeons form a small pouch at the top of the stomach, which is bypassed to the small intestine. You feel full sooner and your body will not absorb as many calories as before. The operation can be performed with open or laparoscopy surgery.
Gastric Balloon
The advantage of getting a gastric balloon in Turkey is that it represents a non-invasive surgery, with no incisions. A stomach balloon, also known as a gastric balloon, is an inflatable device filled with liquid material. It is placed inside the stomach through endoscopy, limiting the amount of food the organ can hold. The other great advantage is that its price is also much cheaper, but its results may not be permanent and more surgeries may be required.
Gastric Band Surgery
A Gastric band is another modality involving the placing of a silicone
band around the stomach. Gastric Band in Turkey is performed under
general anesthesia. The band is inflated so the pressure can be adjusted
according to the patient’s requirements. This surgery results in a more
weight loss.
