Gastric Bypass Surgery

​

In tube gastrectomy surgeries known as “Sleeve Gastrectomy”, it is aimed to reduce the stomach volume and thus to provide a feeling of satiety with much less food. For this purpose, a certain part of the stomach is removed surgically and then a tubular stomach is left. In addition, the hunger-stimulating hormone secreting part of the stomach is removed, so the patient does not feel a sense of hunger.

​

With this operation, only food intake is restricted. As the absorption of foods continues in the same way, the patient does not need to take additional vitamin or mineral supplements from the outside. After surgery, patients can easily feel full after a small amount of food intake and after a while, this feeling of satiety turns into a loss of appetite. Total food intake is significantly reduced and 80-90% of the excess weight is lost within a few years after surgery.

2. Welcome & Transfer

Upon your arrival at Istanbul New Airport, our seamless service begins. Following your flight, our professional driver will greet you and escort you to the hospital in our VIP transfer vehicle, ensuring a comfortable 45-minute journey.

3. Hospital Procedure

Once you undergo initial hospitalisation procedures, we initiate a series of examinations specifically tailored to Sleeve Gastrectomy. Our attentive nurses gather crucial information about your clinical history and conduct essential tests, including chest X-Ray, EKG, and blood tests. After completing check-ups and consultations with your Surgeon, and the anesthetist, you are prepared for the Sleeve Gastrectomy procedure.

4. Compression Therapy

To enhance safety and minimize the risk of thrombosis, our patients receive compression therapy a day prior to surgery. This therapeutic approach, spanning 12 hours, is complemented by breathing exercises using triflows.

5. Endoscopy Application

An hour before surgery, patients receive antibiotics, followed by an endoscopy session. If no pathologies are detected, patients proceed directly to the operation room.

6. Surgery Procedure

The pivotal moment arrives as the surgery begins, typically lasting one to one and a half hours. While Sleeve Gastrectomy surgeries include the placement of a drain to facilitate leak tests post-surgery, more complex procedures like gastric bypass may extend the duration.

7. Congratulations! 

Following a successful surgery, patients undergo observation in the hospital for a specified period. Mobilization occurs four hours post-surgery. In the initial 24 hours, patients abstain from food and beverages to minimize acute leaks. After this period, a leak test with a blue liquid is performed. A negative result, indicated by the absence of blue liquid in the drain, signals clearance for patients to start consuming water, juice, and soup.

8. Staying At the Hotel

Patients remain in the hospital for three days post-surgery. After thorough examinations, they transition to our hotels. Daily visits from our doctors, accompanied by translators, ensure comprehensive care. Our patient coordinators remain accessible 24/7 to address any needs or concerns.
