Gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey with a specialist

The gastric sleeve procedure combines a high level of effectiveness with few side effects and rare complications. From an “operational” point of view, the gastric sleeve is simpler than, for example, a gastric bypass. The gastric sleeve has proven particularly effective for extreme obesity and is performed worldwide. Due to the significantly lower stomach content, a feeling of satiety quickly sets in naturally, so that you eat significantly less without “hungering” and thus reduce your weight. The change in metabolism has a positive effect in connection with type 2 diabetes.

Turkey has excellent doctors and clinics. At the same time, the local infrastructure makes it possible to offer the same services at significantly lower prices than in Germany, for example. In addition, by choosing to be treated by Dr. Gökce, you are choosing a renowned specialist in the field who has over 30 years of experience as a doctor, 22 years of experience as a surgeon and over 12 years specializing in bariatric surgery.

The sleeve gastrectomy is particularly recommended and used for severe obesity. In particular, when other measures have not led to the desired improvement, sleeve gastrectomy is an effective way to combat severe obesity (grades 2 to 3) – i.e. from a BMI of 35. Under certain circumstances, a sleeve gastrectomy may also be advisable for lower BMI values.

The recovery period after gastric sleeve surgery varies from patient to patient, but you should generally plan for about 2 to 4 weeks. During the first few days, you will stay in the clinic for observation and can then be released home. During the first few weeks, it is important to take it easy physically and to strictly adhere to the prescribed diet to aid the healing process. After about three weeks, you can resume light everyday activities, while more intense physical exertion should only be undertaken after consulting your doctor.

After gastric sleeve surgery, it is crucial that body and mind adapt to the changed circumstances. Your stomach is significantly smaller, so you need to make fundamental changes to your eating habits. It is particularly important to have a nutritional program that aims to supply the necessary nutrients in smaller quantities. It makes sense to eat several small meals a day that are easy to digest and do not overload the stomach. To ensure that your body is adequately supplied despite the reduced food intake, dietary supplements such as vitamins and minerals may be necessary. This applies in particular to B-group vitamins, vitamin D, iron and calcium, as these nutrients are often not absorbed in sufficient quantities through food after sleeve gastrectomy. Our team of experts will provide you with an individual nutrition plan and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
