What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric Sleeve Surgery is permanent surgery for weight loss and leads the patients to positive health outcomes. The surgery is very safe when it is compared to other commonly performed surgeries. It improves life quality and there are minimal long-term complications. It is now the most commonly performed bariatric procedure in TURKEY and worldwide, thanks to the latest technology (laparoscopy) and it offers a minimally invasive option with very low risks. Thus, the patient can walk after two hours of the surgery and go back to normal life. The surgery itself takes only around one hour.
With Gastric Sleeve surgery, Surgeon removes 75-80% of the stomach with the area called fundus. At fundus, there are appetite hormones. These hormones will cause you to feel hungry. With the removal of this area (Fundus) your hunger is decreased, and you will feel less hungry after the surgery, and you will start to lose weight. On average, after the surgery people lose about 70-80% of their excess weight.

How does Gastric Sleeve Work?
- The surgery takes around 1-2hours. There is a reduction in the stomach volume, causing people to feel full much quicker after the surgery
- Hormonal changes such as reduced secretion of hunger hormones cause people to feel less hungry
- Increased stomach motility, which allows food to pass the stomach and intestine quicker after surgery

What are the risks?
The long-term results are approved with the Gastric Sleeve surgery. According to the studies, it doesn’t have long term complications. The one and only complication risk of Gastric Sleeve is leakage risk after the surgery. But with Dr. Ibrahim’s technique there is no risk for leakage after the surgery.
The Technique Dr. Ibrahim uses to prevent the leakage after Gastric Sleeve?
Dr Ibrahim Karatas is using Three Stapler system in his surgeries. These are smart staplers which provide no-chance for any leakage after the surgery. There are types of smart staplers.
3,0 – 3,5 – 4,0 cm stapler types. Dr. Ibrahim uses 3,5 cm three staplers. And he uses two 3,5 cm three staplers to cut and seal the stomach at the same time. And he uses the V-lock technique to eliminate the leakage risk. V-lock is a hacked rope that keeps the stitches together. So with this technique, there is no risk of leakage.
