Gastric sleeve in Turkey / Antalya

The  gastric sleeve in Turkey / Antalya  is generally aimed at reducing the size of the stomach contents. A part of the organ is completely removed by an experienced surgeon. As a result, the volume of the stomach is reduced by an average of 80 to 90 percent.

What remains is a tubular stomach with a size of two to three centimeters and a capacity of 85 to 150 ml. If you compare this sleeve stomach with an ordinary stomach, it is noticeable that this type of  stomach reduction in Turkey / Antalya has had  promising success.

A normal stomach usually has a capacity of two to three liters. The gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey / Antalya  not only results in a slight reduction in the size of the organ, but also in a maximum exploitation of the given possibilities.

The reduced stomach volume has many consequences for those affected by obesity. On the one hand, the patient eats significantly less than before, because there is simply no longer enough space for sumptuous meals. On the other hand, the stomach wall expands faster due to the stomach reduction, which means that the crucial feeling of satiety occurs much earlier.

Gastrointestinal hormones are suppressed

The gastric surgery in Turkey / Antalya includes other objectives. One of the most important goals is the removal of the large stomach engraving. Gastrointestinal hormones are formed in the gastric engraving. This refers to the hunger hormones such as ghrelin, leptin, orexin or cortisol. The first-mentioned ghrelin in particular plays a decisive role in reducing the size of the stomach. Unlike its competitors, it is mainly formed within the gastric mucosa. Cortisol, on the other hand, is formed in the adrenal cortex, orexin primarily in the hypothalamus, and leptin primarily in fat cells.

The gastric sleeve surgery in Antalya means that the large stomach engraving is removed. This prevents the formation of the hormone in the primary organ of formation, the stomach. As a result, the feeling of hunger is significantly reduced. As a result, the gastric sleeve in Turkey has an additional appetite-suppressing effect on the patient. It is interesting that patients with diabetes could also feel a significant improvement in their state of health after a stomach reduction in Turkey / Antalya . In this context, surgeons often refer to gastric reduction as metabolic surgery.

Gastric sleeve in Turkey / Antalya - no foreign bodies necessary

If you compare the gastric sleeve surgery with other surgical procedures for weight reduction, it is noticeable that no foreign bodies are necessary.

Just a few weeks after an operation to reduce the size of the stomach, those affected can eat any type of food regardless of the ingredients or the like. Compared to other methods of gastric surgery in Turkey, the reduction using a gastric sleeve has many advantages.
