Curious Things About Gastric Sleeve

What is Sleeve Gastrectomy? Why is it Performed?

 

Bariatric Surgery is one of the effective treatment methods for obesity. It is among the most preferred methods in Sleeve Gastrectomy.  It is not just a procedure to lose weight. The most basic goal here is to eliminate the health problems experienced by the patient due to weight, to enable him/her to breathe more easily and to gain freedom of action, in short, to ensure that he/she can healthily continue his/her life.


How Long Does Gastric Sleeve Surgery Take?

 

One of the reasons why gastric sleeve procedures have become the most popular type of weight loss surgery is the relatively short duration of the operation. It takes much less time compared to many other forms of bariatric surgery, including gastric bypass surgery. 

The procedure itself takes about an hour. It is performed laparoscopically, so it requires only small incisions. Sleeve gastrectomy patients usually stay in the hospital for an average of one to three days. Of course, this period includes a personalised period that may vary according to the patient's age and complications.
