Sleeve Gastrectomy (Tube Stomach) is one of the most effective and most preferred methods in modern bariatric surgery. It is a scientifically proven treatment method that provides both rapid and long-term sustainable weight loss.
Preferred by millions of patients worldwide today, this surgery plays a significant role in controlling health problems that accompany obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and metabolic syndrome.
At ClinicHaus, sleeve gastrectomy surgeries are performed using fully closed (laparoscopic) surgical techniques, in internationally accredited hospitals with advanced technology infrastructure, and by experienced bariatric surgeons. This approach enhances the safety of the operation, minimizes tissue damage, and ensures a fast recovery process.
During sleeve gastrectomy, the large curvature section of the stomach is removed, reducing the organ’s volume by approximately 70–80%. This reduction allows the person to feel full with much less food, turning weight loss into a natural and controlled process.
Simultaneously, since the region responsible for producing most of the stomach’s appetite hormone, ghrelin, is removed, appetite significantly decreases after the operation, enabling the patient to achieve easier physiological weight control.
These two powerful mechanisms—mechanical restriction with a smaller stomach and metabolic improvement through hormonal regulation—transform the sleeve gastrectomy from merely a weight loss operation into a treatment approach that holistically improves health. At ClinicHaus, this surgery is specially planned according to each patient’s personal health status, medical history, and goals, ensuring both safe and long-lasting results.
What is Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery?
Sleeve gastrectomy surgery is the procedure of removing the large curvature section of the stomach to form the stomach into a long, thin “tube.”
This surgery works through two main mechanisms:
Reduction of Stomach Volume: The smaller stomach creates a structure that causes a feeling of satiety with less food.
Decrease in Appetite Hormone: The ghrelin hormone is largely produced in the stomach fundus. Removing this area significantly reduces appetite.
As a result, sleeve gastrectomy surgery yields:
High continuity of weight loss,
Appetite control,
Improvement of blood sugar and metabolic balance.
Sleeve Gastrectomy at ClinicHaus: Scientific Approach, Safe Surgery, and Personalized Planning
1. Detailed Pre-Evaluation and Preparation
All patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation before sleeve gastrectomy:
Blood tests
Endoscopy
Ultrasonography
Cardiology and anesthesia consultations
Endocrinology evaluation, if necessary
The purpose of these analyses is to assess the patient’s general health status and confirm that the surgery can be performed safely. A personal treatment plan is created for every patient.
2. Closed (Laparoscopic) Surgery
At ClinicHaus, sleeve gastrectomy operations are performed using the fully closed method, through 4–5 small incisions.
This technique ensures:
Less post-operative pain
Much faster recovery
Shorter hospital stay
Minimal scar formation
Early return to daily life
The average surgical duration is 45–60 minutes.
3. Hospital Stay and Initial Days
The post-operative process is managed in accordance with international standards:
Getting up and walking on day 1
2–3 days of hospital monitoring
Transition to liquid nutrition with a dietitian
24/7 consultation after discharge
Clinical check-up on the 10th–14th day
The majority of patients reach a level where they can return to their daily lives within 1 week.
Advantages of Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery
Effective and rapid weight loss
60–75% of excess weight is lost in the first year.
Strong effect on appetite control
Patients feel less hungry thanks to the decrease in the ghrelin hormone.
No change in the digestive system pathway
The intestinal structure is preserved, and absorption is not impaired.
Low risk of vitamin and mineral deficiency
Easier to follow up compared to gastric bypass.
Short recovery process with closed surgery
Patients can move around within a few days.
Significant improvement in metabolic diseases
Improvement is observed in problems such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea.
More natural eating pattern
Since food passes through natural pathways after the surgery, adaptation to the lifestyle is easy.
Who is Suitable for Sleeve Gastrectomy?
At ClinicHaus, sleeve gastrectomy is performed according to the following criteria:
Patients with a BMI above 40 kg/m²
Patients with a BMI of 35–40 kg/m² who also have conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea
Individuals who have previously failed to lose weight with diet, exercise, or medical treatments
Patients experiencing problems with appetite control and aiming for permanent weight loss
Individuals found suitable for surgery as a result of health checks
Every patient is jointly evaluated by the surgeon, dietitian, and internal medicine team.
Recovery and Nutrition Process
Nutrition after sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most important stages of the treatment.
The ClinicHaus nutrition team creates a personalized plan for each patient, including:
A personal plan involving liquid, pureed, and soft food stages
Vitamin and mineral supplements
Regular weight monitoring
Control plans at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months
Patients can usually return to desk jobs within 1–2 weeks.
