NY HEALTH
CLINIC
Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is an effective obesity surgery method that supports weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach. At NY HEALTH in Istanbul, we aim to provide safe and long-term weight control to our patients with our team specialized in this minimally invasive surgery field.
Clinical assessment, travel planning, and follow-up are presented in one clear, patient-friendly flow.
Sleeve gastrectomy is a procedure performed by surgically removing approximately 70-80% of the stomach. What remains is a smaller, tube-shaped stomach.
In this way:
• The amount of food consumed decreases
• A feeling of fullness occurs faster
• Weight loss process is supported
This method is an effective surgical option for individuals struggling with obesity and aiming for permanent weight loss.
Treatment planning, transfers, accommodation, and clinical checks are coordinated in one patient journey.
Suitable candidates for sleeve gastrectomy surgery at NY HEALTH are generally people who meet the following criteria:
This operation may be suitable for individuals with a BMI of 35 and above, or patients with a BMI of 30 and above and obesity-related health problems such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
For permanent weight loss after surgery, patients must be willing to change their eating habits and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Patients with good general health who do not have a serious health problem that could put the surgery process at risk are preferred.
Each patient undergoes a detailed evaluation at NY HEALTH and suitability for surgery is determined individually.
After sleeve gastrectomy surgery performed at NY HEALTH, the majority of patients can lose approximately 60-70% of their excess body weight within the first 12 months.
This rate may vary depending on a person's starting weight and metabolism and corresponds to a significant weight loss.
Long-term and permanent success depends on compliance with the nutrition plan, lifestyle changes and regular follow-up process recommended by the NY HEALTH expert team.
Sleeve gastrectomy surgery performed at NY HEALTH is generally performed by laparoscopic (closed) method, thus aiming for minimal scarring.

At NY HEALTH, proper preparation is of great importance for a successful gastric sleeve surgery and a smooth recovery process. Here are the things to consider before surgery:
During the first consultation, our bariatric surgeon determines your suitability for surgery by evaluating your medical history, current health condition and weight loss goals in detail. In addition, information is given about the transaction process, expected results and possible risks.
During the preoperative period, a special diet with high protein and low carbohydrates is usually applied, which helps shrink the liver. This process usually starts 1–2 weeks before surgery.
According to your surgeon's instructions, you will usually need to fast for 8–12 hours before the procedure. This ensures that the stomach and intestines are completely empty for the operation.
It is recommended to quit smoking at least 2 weeks before the surgery. Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. Alcohol consumption should also be avoided in the preoperative period.
The patient should not drive alone due to the effects of post-operative anesthesia. Therefore, a companion should be arranged for the return home and support should be provided with daily tasks in the first days.
At NY HEALTH, proper care after gastric sleeve surgery is of great importance for a healthy recovery process and achieving permanent weight loss goals.
The first week after the surgery starts with liquid nutrition. Then, transition is made to pureed foods, soft foods and solid foods in a controlled manner. Our nutritionist prepares a personalized diet plan that supports the stomach adaptation process.
Adequate water consumption throughout the day is very important. Water should be drunk slowly and in small sips, avoiding straining the stomach. This both promotes healing and reduces the risk of nausea.
Heavy exercises should be avoided for the first 4-6 weeks after surgery. However, light walks are recommended to support blood circulation and accelerate recovery.
Check-up appointments determined by NY HEALTH are attended for regular monitoring of the healing process. During this process, weight loss and general health status are monitored by our expert team.
For permanent weight loss, balanced and healthy eating habits must be maintained. High protein, low sugar and nutritious foods are the foundation for long-term success.
The recovery process of sleeve gastrectomy surgery is generally faster and more controlled compared to many other weight loss operations.
Most patients are kept under observation in the hospital for 2:3 days for postoperative follow:up and initial recovery.
Patients can usually return to light daily activities within 1:2 weeks. However, heavy exercises and intense physical activities require doctor's approval. The full recovery process is usually completed within 4:6 weeks.
term adaptation process: The stomach adapts to its new and smaller structure over time. Compliance with the diet and lifestyle recommendations given during this process is very important for both a healthy recovery and reducing the risk of complications.
