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 at one time — and also reduces the production of 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 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 implanted
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 in most patients.
Permanent results
With proper dietary habits and lifestyle changes, gastric sleeve delivers permanent, sustainable results.

FAQ
Gastric Sleeve Istanbul — Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight will I lose after gastric sleeve?
Most patients lose 50-70% of their excess body weight within 12-18 months of gastric sleeve Istanbul surgery. Results vary depending on starting weight, dietary adherence and lifestyle changes after surgery.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
Most gastric sleeve Istanbul patients stay 5-7 days. This includes 2-3 days in hospital followed by recovery days at the hotel before flying home. Direct flights to Istanbul are available from most major cities worldwide.

Yes — gastric sleeve is a well-established, widely performed bariatric procedure with a strong safety record. At Estelux Istanbul, it is performed exclusively by Op. Dr. Aslan, a specialist bariatric surgeon with over 2,000 successful cases.
Is gastric sleeve reversible?
Gastric sleeve is a permanent procedure. The removed portion of the stomach cannot be restored. This is why thorough pre-operative assessment is essential — which our specialist carries out during your free consultation.

Gastric sleeve Istanbul typically costs 60-70% less than equivalent procedures in the UK, Ireland, USA or Western Europe — and this includes hotel, transfers and aftercare. Contact us via WhatsApp for a personalised all-inclusive quote — completely free with no obligation.
How does gastric sleeve compare to gastric bypass?
Gastric sleeve is generally simpler with fewer long-term complications, while gastric bypass produces slightly more weight loss and is more effective for type 2 diabetes. Op. Dr. Aslan will recommend the best option for you during consultation.
