Gastric Sleeve
Obesity is a growing health problem worldwide, significantly reducing individuals’ quality of life. When traditional weight loss methods fail, gastric sleeve surgery (Gastric Sleeve) offers a permanent and effective solution. As a leading health tourism agency in Türkiye, AVO Clinic provides its patients with gastric sleeve services at international standards. By collaborating with experienced surgeons and state-of-the-art facilities, we offer not only a treatment but also a comprehensive, safe, comfortable, and life-transforming experience.
The Scientific Basis and Effects of Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric sleeve surgery is a bariatric surgical procedure in which approximately 80% of the stomach is surgically removed, and the remaining stomach is reduced to a “tube” or “banana.” This procedure not only reduces stomach volume, resulting in a feeling of fullness with less food, but also helps patients feel less hungry by reducing the production of the appetite hormone ghrelin. This results in significant and sustainable weight loss, while also leading to significant improvements in obesity-related conditions such as Type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Recovery Progress After Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Since gastric sleeve surgery is usually performed laparoscopically (closed), it offers less pain and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery. Patients are usually discharged within a few days and can return to their normal daily activities within a few weeks.
Who is Suitable for Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Individuals with a body mass index (BMI) over 40, or those with a BMI between 35 and 40 and serious obesity-related comorbidities, are generally suitable candidates for this procedure. A final determination of suitability is made after an evaluation by a specialist physician.
What Are the Risks and Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, gastric sleeve surgery carries certain risks. However, these risks are minimized by experienced surgeons and modern medical technologies. The benefits include permanent weight loss, improved recovery from obesity-related illnesses, and improved quality of life. AVO Clinic partners only with the most reliable healthcare institutions to minimize these risks.
Why is Gastric Sleeve Surgery Effective in Combating Obesity?
For individuals who have not achieved lasting success with diet and exercise, gastric sleeve surgery offers a holistic solution by both physically reducing stomach volume and hormonally reducing appetite. This results in patients feeling fuller with less food and less hungry, making weight loss easier and more sustainable.
