THE PROCEDURE
What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) involves removing approximately 75-80% of the stomach, leaving a small, sleeve-shaped pouch. This dramatically reduces the amount of food you can eat — and also reduces ghrelin, the hunger hormone, making you feel significantly less hungry throughout the day.
At Estelux Istanbul, all gastric sleeve procedures are performed laparoscopically by Op. Dr. Aslan — a specialist bariatric surgeon who has dedicated his career to obesity and metabolic surgery, with over 2,000 successful sleeve gastrectomy cases.
50-70% excess weight loss
Most patients lose 50-70% of their excess body weight within 12-18 months of surgery.
Reduces hunger hormones
Ghrelin production is significantly reduced — making it easier to maintain a healthy diet long-term.
No foreign body
Unlike gastric band surgery, no foreign device is implanted — reducing long-term complication risk.
Laparoscopic surgery
Performed through small incisions — minimal scarring, faster recovery and shorter hospital stay.
Improves health conditions
Significant improvement of type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea, hypertension and joint pain.
Permanent results
With proper dietary habits, gastric sleeve delivers permanent, sustainable weight loss results.
