Stomach Reduction Surgery
Path to Lasting Weight Loss
Gastric sleeve surgery often referred to as sleeve gastrectomy is a modern, minimally invasive weight loss method that permanently reduces the stomach’s capacity by about 80%. After the procedure, the stomach takes on a narrow, sleeve-like shape, which naturally limits food intake and decreases hunger hormone production. As a result, patients feel satisfied with smaller portions and can sustain weight loss more effectively.
Unlike other bariatric procedures, the gastric sleeve does not require rerouting the intestines, allowing digestion to continue in a more natural way while still delivering significant weight loss results.
This operation is particularly beneficial for those struggling with obesity-related health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Many patients experience rapid weight reduction in the first year, along with improved metabolism and a reduced risk of obesity-related complications. With the right post-operative care, the results can be long-lasting and life-changing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gastric Sleeve Surgery
After gastric sleeve surgery, your diet will progress through several stages to support healing and promote weight loss:
Weeks 1–2 (Liquid Phase): Clear liquids such as water, broth, and sugar-free drinks.
Weeks 3–4 (Pureed Foods): Smooth, blended foods like pureed vegetables, lean meats, and low-fat dairy.
Weeks 5–6 (Soft Foods): Soft, moist foods including scrambled eggs, cooked vegetables, and soft fruits.
Week 7 and Beyond (Regular Foods): Gradual reintroduction of solid foods, focusing on lean proteins, whole grains, and vegetables.
Throughout recovery, prioritize high-protein, low-fat, and low-sugar foods. Avoid carbonated beverages, fried foods, and high-sugar items to prevent discomfort and support weight loss. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare team at Büyük Anadolu Hospital will help tailor your diet to your progress.
While individual tolerances vary, certain foods are generally discouraged post-surgery:
-
Carbonated drinks: Can cause bloating and discomfort.
-
Fried and greasy foods: May lead to nausea and dumping syndrome.
-
Sugary snacks and desserts: High in empty calories and can hinder weight loss.
-
Tough meats and fibrous vegetables: Difficult to digest and may cause blockages.
It's essential to listen to your body and avoid foods that cause discomfort. Your dietitian at Büyük Anadolu Hospital will provide personalized guidance.
Typically, candidates for gastric sleeve surgery are between 18 and 70 years old. However, age is not the sole determining factor. Overall health, presence of obesity-related conditions, and the ability to commit to lifestyle changes are crucial considerations. At Büyük Anadolu Hospital, our multidisciplinary team evaluates each patient individually to ensure the best outcomes.
On average, patients can expect to lose 60–70% of their excess weight within the first year. This translates to approximately 80–100 pounds, depending on individual factors. Factors influencing weight loss include adherence to dietary guidelines, physical activity levels, and metabolic rate. Regular follow-ups at Büyük Anadolu Hospital will help monitor progress and make necessary adjustments.
The gastric sleeve procedure typically lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. This minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery involves removing a portion of the stomach to reduce its size. Patients usually spend 1–2 nights in the hospital for monitoring and recovery. The overall recovery time varies, but many return to normal activities within 4–6 weeks.
Most patients can begin reintroducing solid foods around 6–8 weeks post-surgery, following the prescribed dietary phases. It's essential to progress gradually to allow your stomach to heal and adapt. Your healthcare team at Büyük Anadolu Hospital will provide specific guidelines tailored to your recovery.
If weight loss stalls, consider the following strategies:
-
Evaluate dietary habits: Ensure you're consuming high-protein, low-fat, and low-sugar foods.
-
Increase physical activity: Incorporate regular exercise, as advised by your healthcare team.
-
Monitor portion sizes: Avoid overeating, as it can stretch the stomach and hinder progress.
-
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water and avoid high-calorie beverages.

No, gastric sleeve surgery is a permanent procedure. Once a significant portion of the stomach is removed, it cannot be restored. It's essential to commit to long-term lifestyle changes, including dietary modifications and regular physical activity, to ensure the success of the surgery. Your healthcare team at Büyük Anadolu Hospital will provide the necessary support throughout your journey.
Temporary hair loss is common after gastric sleeve surgery due to rapid weight loss and nutritional changes. Ensuring adequate protein intake, taking prescribed vitamins and minerals, and managing stress can help mitigate this effect. Hair typically begins to regrow within 3–6 months post-surgery. Consult with your healthcare team at Büyük Anadolu Hospital for personalized advice.
It's advisable to avoid alcohol for at least 6 months after surgery to allow your body to heal. After this period, if you choose to consume alcohol, do so in moderation. Alcohol can be absorbed more quickly post-surgery, leading to increased effects. Always consult with your healthcare team at Büyük Anadolu Hospital before reintroducing alcohol into your diet.
