About Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy, also known as gastric sleeve surgery, is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures worldwide. During this minimally invasive surgery, a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a slim, tube-shaped sleeve. This significantly reduces the stomach’s capacity, limiting food intake while also decreasing hunger hormones such as ghrelin. The procedure is performed laparoscopically, meaning smaller incisions, reduced recovery time, and minimal scarring. Most patients return to normal activities within 2–3 weeks. Weight loss is both effective and sustainable, with patients typically losing 60–70% of excess weight within the first year. Turkey is a global destination for sleeve gastrectomy due to advanced surgical standards, experienced bariatric surgeons, and competitive pricing. HealMinded ensures that patients are matched with accredited clinics providing comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation, safe operations, and long-term nutritional guidance. This combination of expert care and affordability makes Turkey one of the best places to achieve lasting weight loss through sleeve gastrectomy.
