Unlocking Effective Weight Loss Solutions: The Power of Sleeve Gastrectomy at AntalyaHealth

In today's health-conscious society, tackling obesity has become a pivotal concern for individuals seeking a healthier lifestyle. Among the various surgical options available, sleeve gastrectomy has emerged as a highly effective and minimally invasive bariatric procedure, offering renewed hope for those struggling with weight management issues. AntalyaHealth, a leading Medical Center specializing in Health & Medical and Medical Spas, stands at the forefront of providing expert care and innovative solutions for weight loss surgery including sleeve gastrectomy.

The Significance of Sleeve Gastrectomy in Modern Bariatric Surgery

Sleeve gastrectomy is a transformative surgical procedure designed to facilitate significant weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach, thereby limiting food intake and modifying hunger hormones. This procedure is often recommended for individuals with severe obesity (BMI over 40) or those with BMI over 35 suffering from obesity-related health issues such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea. The procedure not only helps with weight management but also improves overall health and quality of life.

Understanding the Procedure

During a sleeve gastrectomy, approximately 75-80% of the stomach is surgically removed, transforming it into a slender, tube-like pouch, or "sleeve." This new stomach holds less food, which results in early satiety and reduced calorie intake. Additionally, the procedure impacts the production of hunger hormones like ghrelin, effectively decreasing appetite and promoting weight loss.
