Gastric Sleeve | Cosmetocity

🥄 Sleeve Gastrectomy in Turkey – Safe, Effective Weight Loss from €3000

Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most popular and effective bariatric surgeries in the world today. At CosmetoCity, we perform this life-changing procedure in Istanbul and Antalya, offering international patients a safe, professional environment with full A-to-Z organization.

🔍 What is Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Sleeve gastrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where about 80% of the stomach is removed. The remaining stomach is reshaped into a narrow tube or “sleeve,” which significantly reduces food intake and appetite by lowering the hunger hormone ghrelin. This makes it easier to lose weight and maintain long-term results.

👥 Who is a Good Candidate?

You may be a candidate if:

You have a BMI over 35, or 30–34.9 with obesity-related conditions (diabetes, hypertension, etc.)
Diet and exercise have not been effective long-term
You experience joint pain, insulin resistance, or sleep apnea due to excess weight
You’re committed to making lifestyle changes after surgery

Good news: conditions like diabetes, asthma, and hypertension are not a barrier to surgery — they are a reason to act sooner.

🧪 Pre-Surgery Examinations

Before your operation, you will undergo a full evaluation including:

Blood tests & hormone screening
Ultrasound & endoscopy
ECG & lung X-rays
Chest, cardiology, endocrinology, and psychological evaluations

Our multidisciplinary team ensures you are fully prepared and safe for surgery.

⚙️ How is the Surgery Performed?

The procedure is done laparoscopically, meaning: ✅ Minimal scarring

✅ Shorter hospital stay (typically 2–3 days)

✅ Faster recovery

The stomach is reduced using a stapling device
A leak test is performed during and after surgery to ensure safety
A small drain is placed and removed after a day or two
Incisions heal nearly invisibly in most patients

⏱ Average operation time: 45–75 minutes

🧃 Post-Op Nutrition Plan

Recovery includes a staged eating plan:

Day 2: Begin clear liquids (after leak test)
Weeks 1–2: Liquid diet with protein supplements
Weeks 3–4: Puréed foods
Week 5+: Gradual return to soft and regular foods

👩‍⚕️ You’ll be in contact with our nutritionists throughout your journey.

💊 Vitamins & Supplements

Protein powders are provided for the first 15 days
Customized vitamin and mineral support (B12, calcium, iron, etc.) especially in the first 12 months
All supplements are adjusted based on regular blood test results

🕒 Back to Life: Recovery Timeline

You’ll walk the same day as your surgery
Desk jobs: back to work in 5–7 days
Physically demanding jobs: 3–4 weeks recovery time
Pain is controlled with individualized medication — you should not suffer

🔄 Will You Gain Weight Again?

Weight regain is rare if patients:

Eat 2–3 meals a day without snacks
Avoid high-calorie, liquid calories (e.g. soda, alcohol)
Stay active and follow post-op guidelines

This surgery is not just about shrinking the stomach — it’s about changing habits for life.

🆚 Gastric Bypass vs Sleeve Gastrectomy

Why many prefer the sleeve: ✅ Fewer lifelong supplement needs

✅ No bypassed intestines

✅ Easier endoscopy access

✅ Removes the stomach's “hunger hormone” area

✅ Lower risk of complications
