Recovery Process After Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric sleeve surgery is an effective and transformative step in combating obesity. The recovery period following this significant procedure is critical for patients to adapt to their new lives. At AVO Clinic, we offer comprehensive support services to maximize the comfort and safety of our patients during this process. With our partnered specialist surgeons and modern healthcare facilities, we are with you every step of the way in Türkiye.
The First Days of Surgery: Hospital Follow-Up
Gastric sleeve surgery is usually performed laparoscopically. This minimally invasive technique results in less pain and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery. You will need to stay in the hospital for a few days after your surgery. During this time, you will be closely monitored by specialists and nurses at our partnered healthcare facility. The primary goal during this period is to maintain pain control and manage the resumption of fluid intake. Our interpreters are also available at all times during your hospital stay.
The First Weeks: Returning Home and Your New Diet
AVO Clinic support continues after your discharge from the hospital. Your post-operative diet is specifically planned by our specialists, tailored to the sensitivity of your new stomach. For the first few weeks, you’ll eat only liquids, then transition to pureed and soft foods. During this period, it’s important to maintain a healthy habit of drinking plenty of fluids and eating smaller portions. Our specialists will provide remote consultations on your new diet and guide you through your recovery.
Long-Term Recovery and Lifestyle Changes
You can begin to return to your normal daily activities within a few weeks of surgery. However, life after gastric sleeve surgery is a process, and permanent weight loss requires lifestyle changes.
- Nutrition: It’s important to maintain a diet appropriate for your new stomach, including a protein-rich diet and regular vitamin supplement use.
- Physical Activity: Regular exercise after recovery accelerates weight loss and prevents muscle loss.
- Follow-up: AVO Clinic will stay in touch with you long-term to help you achieve your weight loss goals and maintain your weight.
