Gastric Sleeve or sleeve gastrectomy removes the majority of your stomach (around 75–80%) and leaves you with a slender tube-shaped, pouch. The smaller hydraulic pouch restricts the amount of food you can comfortably eat in one sitting and lowers the hunger hormone ghrelin (makes you feel full sooner) whilst preserving, normal absorption in the intestines. The right balance of restriction and hormonal change explains why Gastric Sleeve Turkey is now one of the most popular bariatric procedures in the world.
Gastric Sleeve in Turkey is a type of minimally invasive keyhole operation done by several surgeons over about 60–120 minutes. The surgeon will put the patient under general anaesthesia and make 4–5 tiny incisions for a camera and instruments. The surgeon or assistant will measure the stomach over a bougie, remove the outer curve of the stomach (i.e., not the bougie), and check the newly formed sleeve for any leaks. Most patients begin to sip fluids that same day and then after a short inpatient hospital stay, transition to hotel recovery.
The first step:
Your surgeon reduces the volume of the stomach, and then the fundus, which although is not essential for digestion, is rich with the hormone ghrelin. This hormonal and restrictive effect, will reduce your appetite, increase your satiety, and encourage remission or improvement of conditions related to obesity (such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension), which are the main reasons many elect to have Gastric Sleeve Turkey.
The second step:
The new sleeve is measured and anchored along the lesser curvature and is then air or dye tested to test for integrity. Because no intestines are bypassed in a Gastric Sleeve, the absorption of nutrients is physiologically normal, the recovery pathway is efficient, and the after-care is maintaining portion control, protein intake and vitamin supplementation.

Most patients lose 65–75% of their excess weight within 12–18 months. At Carely Clinic, the average weight loss is 72% in one year. Factors include your BMI, diet, activity level, and genetics. Weight loss is fastest in the first 6 months, then slows down and stabilizes.
We recommend a 7-day stay for recovery and follow-up. This includes 1 day for pre-op tests, 3 days in the hospital, and 3 days in a hotel. Healthier patients may leave after 5 days, while others choose to stay longer for a relaxed recovery and sightseeing.
Lifelong supplements are required to prevent deficiencies. Although digestion stays normal, most patients need B12, iron, calcium, and vitamin D. Around 30% develop deficiencies without proper care. We offer quarterly blood checks and nutritional support to help prevent this.
Mild weight regain is normal but often preventable. 20–30% of patients regain 5–15% of their lost weight due to habits, not surgical failure. Our program focuses on early intervention. If needed, revision surgery is an option. Most compliant patients keep off 60%+ long-term.
At Carely Clinic, the all-inclusive cost is €2,400. This covers surgery, hospital stay, medication, airport transfers, and 12 months of follow-up. It’s 70–80% cheaper than the same procedure in the UK, US, or Germany—with no compromise in safety or quality.
You need a BMI of 30–35+ and readiness for lifestyle change. Candidates must be age 18–65, have obesity-related health issues or prior weight loss attempts, and commit to permanent changes. Each case is reviewed individually by our doctors for eligibility and safety.
Gastric sleeve removes 75-80% of the stomach, while gastric bypass creates a small pouch and reroutes the intestines. Bypass typically offers higher weight loss (70-85%) and better diabetes resolution, while sleeve is less complex with fewer nutritional concerns.
Yes, flying is safe 5–7 days after surgery with clearance. For long flights, we recommend using compression socks and moving regularly. Wait 4–6 weeks before taking leisure trips to ensure full healing and reduce any risks from travel-related stress.
Avoid alcohol for at least 6 months post-op. After healing, small amounts may be tolerated but can affect weight loss and are absorbed faster. Talk to your doctor before drinking alcohol, especially in the first year after surgery.
Gastric sleeve offers permanent, significant weight loss (65-75% excess weight) compared to temporary solutions like gastric balloon (20-30% weight loss, 6-12 months) or gastric botox (10-15% weight loss, 4-6 months). Sleeve is ideal for patients needing substantial, long-term weight loss, while balloon and botox suit those wanting to try less invasive options first. See all weight loss surgery options to compare.
Yes, but we suggest waiting 12 to 18 months after surgery before trying to get pregnant. This helps your weight stay the same and your nutrition get back to normal. Pregnancy after gastric sleeve is usually safe as long as you get the right care and supplements.
Gastric sleeve has a 95% success rate when patients follow dietary and lifestyle guidelines. If inadequate weight loss occurs, options include revision to gastric bypass or additional procedures. Our 12-month follow-up program helps identify and address any issues early.

Yes, lifelong vitamin supplementation is essential after gastric sleeve. You'll typically need vitamin B12, iron, calcium, and vitamin D supplements. Our program includes quarterly blood monitoring and comprehensive nutritional guidance to prevent deficiencies.
Yes, diabetes actually makes you a stronger candidate for gastric sleeve surgery. While gastric bypass offers higher diabetes remission rates (85-90%), gastric sleeve still provides excellent diabetes improvement, with 60-70% of patients reducing or eliminating diabetes medications within 12-18 months. Your diabetes status will be carefully evaluated during qualification.
Patients over 65 can qualify for gastric sleeve surgery with comprehensive medical evaluation. We've successfully performed sleeve surgery on patients up to age 72 with excellent outcomes.
