Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the most common surgeries under bariatric surgery today. It is basically called stomach reduction surgery, and gastric sleeve surgery can be referred to among the public as stomach reduction surgery. Apart from gastric sleeve surgery, there are various surgical methods under bariatric surgery.
Although methods such as gastric bypass, duodenal switch and biopnacratic diversion are applied under the scope of obesity surgery, the most commonly used surgical operation is gastric sleeve surgery. The main reasons for this are, of course, the fact that gastric sleeve surgery is both easy to apply and the process can be completed with a low risk of complications and successful results. Nevertheless, surgical practices may vary according to the individual, so a decision must be made according to the doctor's direction.
Another advantage of gastric sleeve surgery is that it can be performed completely by laparoscopic methods. In gastric sleeve surgery, which is carried out by laparoscopic methods, the majority of the stomach is removed through small incisions. An average of 80% of the current stomach is taken out. Since the laparoscopy method is applied, large incisions are not opened in this process, and both surgery and recovery time are short while at the same time, they do not cause large surgical scars.
Gastric sleeve surgery is mostly done in patients struggling with obesity or morbid obesity diseases. The evaluation of such patients in a multidisciplinary way under different branches is very important in the preparation for surgery. Considering all the medical history of the patient, all possible complications should be considered in advance, and experts from every branch that the patient will need should be present. The surgery team should also be a multidisciplinary team.
Gastric sleeve surgery is only one step in a long process. In some cases, patients may first need to lose weight to undergo this surgery, and the process will continue after the surgery. For this reason, it is very important that the patient is aware that he will successfully complete the process patient is in, but it is also important that the process should be performed by professionals.
A patient who will undergo Gastric sleeve surgery must be evaluated by general surgeons, endocrine and metabolic diseases, chest diseases, cardiology, diet and nutrition, psychiatry, physical therapy and rehabilitation and anesthesiology and reanimation branches.
Tests such as investigating whether the cause of high weight is due to endocrine and metabolic disease, blood tests, ECG, pulmonary function tests, body composition analysis, endoscopy can be requested. Additional tests may also be ordered depending on medical history. The information received at the end of this entire examination and examination process produces a cumulative result and preparation is made for the surgical process in the light of this information collected from the patient.
The evening of the day before the operation, patient should stop eating and the fluid intake on the night of the day before the surgery should also stop. Apart from these, if medications such as blood thinners and intestinal cleansers are given by the doctor, it is very important to take them at the right time and in the right way.
Patients can be taken to normal rooms or intensive care units after the operation according to the patients condition and the operation process. No solid or liquid food intake takes place within a few days. Then, with the passage radiograph, it is checked whether the operation process has been successfully completed and then the patient's fluid intake with drinks such as water and milk begins again. If no problems are observed, patients are discharged.
Gastric sleeve surgery is in most cases just the beginning of the process. It is recommended to consume liquid or near-liquid foods for a while in the postoperative period, multivitamin drugs are recommended as support and when the patient returns to his normal life, he continues the process with a serious diet. In this process, the individual should proceed in a balanced way within the framework of the program prepared by doctor and should not neglect the controls.

The most effective way of dealing with obesity and morbid obesity is obesity surgery. We use different surgical procedures depending on the lifestyle, eating habits, possible side diseases of the patient. The goal of the obesity surgery is to help patient gain new habits for a healthier life. Changing the eating habits and increasing physical activity helps patient live a healthier and a better life after the obesity surgery. Things may not always go as planned. There, we have "revision surgery." Revision surgery is the second surgical operation in case the surgery does not give the results we want. This may be caused by a technical situation or a patient-depended situation. The most common situation is lack of losing weight after gastic band procedure or the complications after the surgery. Can patient who had sleeve gastrectomy undergo revision surgery? Revision surgery can be applied to the patient who can't gain healthier eating habits or lose weight in 18 months. Unsuccessful surgeries due to lack of experience of the doctor or technical difficulties leads us to a revision surgery. The patient must remember that the revision surgery is more complicated procedure and must be performed by an experienced doctor. The first surgical procedure can be converted to a different obesity surgery procedure by the revision surgery. Sleeve Gastrectomy can be converted to re-sleeve gastrectomy Bypass surgeries can be converted to Rouex-N Gastric Bypass or Duodenal Switch.

If the balding area is too large, several sessions may be required to complete the treatment. Generally, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation. A special bandage is applied to the head after hair transplantation. The person is discharged after 1-2 hours. Although it is rarely seen, pain control is provided against pain conditions. Generally, after 3 days of home rest, the head can be turned back to work life. After the Procedure Although the healing process after hair transplantation varies from patient to patient, it covers a period of approximately 1 year. The first three days after the operation are very important. There may be some pain on the first night, but you can have a comfortable night if you use pain medication prescribed by your doctor. You should lie on your back as much as possible in the first days after planting and do not make any contact with the planting area. On the next day of hair transplantation, you should go to the hospital for bandage removal and dressing. Then, the first three days of the medication given by your doctor will be enough to relieve edema. For the first 3 days, there may be small bleedings in the area where the hair follicles are planted and in the transplanted area. In order to prevent the formation of inflammation, you should use the antibiotic cure given by your doctor regularly for the first five days after the operation. Alcohol should not be used during this process. Since the antibiotic is directly mixed with your blood, it may interfere with the drugs you use and may have negative consequences. Since smoking will also adversely affect the healing process, it is advisable not to smoke for at least 1 week after the operation.

This is due to the transition of the grafts to the sleep phase (telogen) by activating the defense mechanism due to the trauma during hair transplantation. Your hair planted will begin to grow in a healthy way by entering the new growth cycle starting from 2 to 4 months. After the fourth month, your hair will grow even more and begin to form its structure. From the 8th month, you will see that your planted hair thickens and rises. Approximately one year after the operation, your hair planted will get more natural and will look like your existing hair.
