What is the gastric sleeve surgery?

Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the weight loss operations in which the surgeon uses laparoscopy and makes small incisions in the abdomen to reduce the patient’s stomach volume by 80% so that the patient’s stomach becomes to the size and shape of a banana and this result in loss of 50-70% of the patient’s weight.

After this operation, the patient can no longer overeat. Because the stomach can tolerates a certain amount of food, on the other hand, this action intensifies the activity of weight loss hormones in the patient’s body. As a result, after a short period of sleeve surgery, the patient loses weight and reaches his ideal weight.

Gastric sleeve surgery complications and side effects

Gastric sleeve surgery like other operations may has some complications and side effects that we mention the most important ones below:

gastric sleeve surgery complications and side effects
  • Complications of anesthesia: This operation is performed under general anesthesia. Sometimes patients may have allergic reaction to anesthetics.
  • Respiratory problems: It has sometimes been observed that patients experience respiratory problems after gastric sleeve surgery, so after the operation, they are connected to a respirator and oxygen to reduce the rate of respiratory problems and cough.
  • The risk of brain stroke, heart attack or blood clot transmission to the lungs after or during the surgery.
  • Risk of gastrointestinal diseases: The patient may have postoperative gastric diseases such as gastric reflux, gastric emptying syndrome, nausea and vomiting, gastric acid leakage into the esophagus, small intestinal obstruction, and leakage at the site of gastric puncture, obstruction after the gastrointestinal tract. For these reasons, it is recommended that the patient uses a small amount of food after the operation and more puree foods.
  • Internal and external bleeding
  • Hair loss: After gastric sleeve surgery, the patient must enter a small amount of food into his stomach, and this causes the amount of essential minerals such as protein, vitamins and zinc, etc. to be reduced that leads to the hair loss.

For this reason, after the operation, the patient is recommended to take pills containing protein, zinc, vitamin B6 and folic acid.

  • Feeling too cold: The patient cannot consume large amounts of food that he likes after this operation. He should avoid consuming too much sugar and eat slowly and follow the diet prescribed by his doctor. So it is natural to lose a lot of body fat. Therefore, he feels much cold than before the operation.
