Stomach Reduction
Obesity is a global problem that threatens the physical and mental health of many individuals in the modern world. When traditional diet and exercise methods fail to achieve results, surgical solutions emerge. These procedures, commonly known as “sleeve gastrectomy” or gastric sleeve surgery, are actually just one aspect of bariatric surgery. As a leading health tourism agency in Türkiye, AVO Clinic offers its patients the most appropriate treatment options, including gastric sleeve and gastric bypass. By collaborating with expert surgeons, we offer you not only a treatment but also a safe, comfortable, and comprehensive experience that will transform your life.
Gastric Sleeve Reduction and Gastric Bypass: What’s the Difference?
Gastric sleeve surgery restricts food intake. Gastric bypass surgery (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass) is a more comprehensive procedure that not only reduces stomach size but also bypasses a portion of the small intestine. This procedure both restricts food intake and reduces nutrient absorption. This dual-action mechanism allows patients to feel full while eating less, while also limiting the body’s absorption of calories and nutrients. Therefore, gastric bypass is often considered a more effective solution for individuals with comorbidities related to obesity, such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
