Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Antalya, Turkey
Safe, Effective & Affordable Weight-Loss Surgery for International Patients
What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), is one of the most commonly performed weight-loss procedures worldwide.
• Approximately 75–80% of the stomach is removed.
• The stomach is reshaped into a narrow, tube-like structure.
• Hunger hormone (ghrelin) production is significantly reduced.
• Food intake naturally decreases.
Most patients lose 70-80 % of their excess body weight within the first two years.
