Slimming Method with Gastric Sleeve Gastrectomy

What is weight loss with sleeve gastrectomy?

Gastric sleeve gastrectomy is performed in people whose excess weight exceeds a certain limit. Excess weight exceeding the 25-30 kg limit is considered to be a disease and makes the patient’s life difficult in every aspect. It is also very difficult for them to lose weight through diet and exercise. Sleeve gastrectomy is a preferable method for people with obesity and aims to lose 70 percent of their excess weight. There is no possibility that the patient will not lose weight after sleeve gastrectomy surgery. With the cessation of appetite, patients begin to lose weight rapidly by reducing the amount eaten in a meal and the speed of eating. However, it is possible to see patients who reach their ideal weight as well as patients who cannot drop to their desired weight. More successful results are obtained in patients who follow a healthy nutrition program and exercise after the surgery. Excess weight causes many health problems. The weight lost through sleeve gastrectomy surgery ensures the end of these disorders.
