It is a surgical application that takes place by removing approximately 75-80 percent of the stomach. After administration, the shape of the stomach resembles a tube. Since most of the stomach is removed and a volume of 50-100 ml remains, the amount of food consumed is limited. Since the appetite hormone (ghrelin) secreted from the stomach part (fundus) removed in this surgery decreases after the procedure, patients experience a loss of appetite.
The effect of sleeve gastrectomy on diabetes and hypertension diseases is quite successful. Especially diabetic and hypertensive patients who are treated with drugs do not need medications after this surgery.
Operation Time: 45-50 min.

The stomach is stapled at the junction with the esophagus and divided into two separate parts. The volume of the stomach remains on average 50-60 ml. Then, it is connected between the small intestine and this newly formed stomach chamber so that approximately 100 cm of the small intestine is out of digestion and a new mouth is created. Thus, the food that the stomach can take is limited and the absorption surface of the intestine is reduced by about 30 percent. When the food taken fills the small sac, a feeling of fullness occurs.
Operation Time: 2-3 hours
Healing Time: 2 weeks

It is not a surgical application and is applied to patients who do not consider a surgical operation. It is applied with the technique of placing an inflatable balloon made of silicone into the stomach endoscopically. Thus, it is aimed to obtain a feeling of satiety by creating a volume that creates fullness in the stomach. Six months after the method is applied, the balloon is easily removed from the stomach. The application takes about 20 minutes. On the other hand, in cases with morbid (extremely) obese (BMI=50-60) patients, gastric balloon application is preferred to achieve a weight loss of 10 kg (in order to reduce liver volume and facilitate surgical steps).
Operation Time: 25-35 min.
Healing Time: 3-4 days
Anesthesia: Sedation Procedure
