Advanced, Safe, and Effective Gastric Sleeve Surgery for Long-Term Weight Loss & Metabolic Improvement
Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy) at Memorial Hospital Turkey is one of the world’s most preferred bariatric procedures, known for its strong safety profile, rapid recovery, and long-lasting weight-loss results. During this minimally invasive procedure, about 80% of the stomach is removed, leading to reduced food intake and major hormonal changes that decrease hunger, improve fullness, and normalize blood sugar levels.
Memorial’s expert bariatric surgeons use the latest laparoscopic and robotic techniques to ensure a safe, smooth, and successful treatment experience with exceptional metabolic benefits, often improving diabetes even before weight loss begins.
🩺 What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy) is a bariatric operation where the stomach is reshaped into a narrow tube by removing 80% of its volume. This results in:
- Reduced capacity → less food intake
- Lower hunger hormone levels → decreased appetite
- Improved metabolic function → better blood sugar control
- 50–60% excess weight loss in the first year
Unlike gastric bypass, it does not reroute the intestines, making it simpler and lower-risk while still producing strong outcomes.
🩺 Types of Gastric Sleeve Approaches at Memorial Hospital
- Standard Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy – Minimally invasive, 4–5 small incisions, fast recovery.
- Robotic Sleeve Gastrectomy – Performed with robotic precision for selected patients.
- Sleeve Gastrectomy with Hiatal Hernia Repair – For patients with reflux or hiatal hernia.
- Revision Sleeve Surgery – For patients who regain weight after older surgeries.
