What is a Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Sleeve gastrectomy, also known as gastric sleeve or vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight loss procedure. Gastric sleeve surgery involves removing a large portion of your stomach to create a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach pouch. 

Your reduced stomach size restricts the amount of food you consume, leading to early satiety and reduced calorie intake. 

Sleeve gastrectomy also includes removing the part of your stomach that produces the hunger-stimulating hormone called ghrelin. This removal leads to your appetite reduction.

Do I need a Sleeve Gastrectomy?

If your body mass index (BMI) is higher than 40 or you struggle with serious obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, you may need a gastric sleeve.

It is important to consult with an expert surgeon before deciding to undergo sleeve gastrectomy in Iran. This will help you ensure that this procedure is the right choice for you, or you need other surgical approaches like gastric bypass in Iran to achieve your goals.

Also, during this consultation, you understand the potential risks and post-surgical lifestyle adjustments.

Preparing for Sleeve Gastrectomy

Our surgeon will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and order additional tests or consultations as necessary. 

Like the brazilian butt lift in Iran, our surgeon will provide specific instructions regarding fasting, medications to avoid, and other preparations leading up to the surgery.

What Happens During the Sleeve Gastrectomy Procedure?

During sleeve gastrectomy surgery, you will be under general anesthesia. Based on your physical condition, your surgeon may choose a traditional (open) sleeve gastrectomy or laparoscopic approach. 

Mostly, our surgeon uses the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy approach, which is a minimally invasive technique.

What are the Risks and Side Effects of Sleeve Gastrectomy?

It is important to discuss the risks and potential side effects with your surgeon before undergoing sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Our surgeon will provide detailed information and guidance to help you make an informed decision.

Like any surgical procedure, sleeve gastrectomy carries certain risks and potential side effects. These may include:

• Infection
• Bleeding
• Leakage
• Blood Clots
• Gastrointestinal Issues
• Gastroesophageal reflux
• Vomiting
• Malnutrition
• Hernias

Note that by choosing a professional medical team, like LyaMed, the risk of these side effects is minimized.

What Happens After Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery During Recovery Time?

After Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery, you will typically spend 1 day in the hospital for monitoring and recovery. 

During your recovery time, you will be on a liquid or pureed diet, gradually transitioning to a soft diet and then solid foods over several weeks. Committing to regular exercise and adopting healthy eating habits is crucial for achieving and maintaining your weight loss goals.

Your surgeon will provide specific dietary guidelines and instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Note that you may experience some changes in your body, like feeling tired and cold, losing your hair temporarily, and mood swings.
