GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY: A RELIABLE SOLUTION FOR LASTING WEIGHT LOSS
Gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) is one of the most effective surgical methods in the treatment of obesity. The procedure involves removing approximately 75% of the stomach and shaping it into a narrow tube. It is performed using the minimally invasive laparoscopic technique, which helps patients reduce appetite and consume less food while feeling full faster.
Prof. Dr. Yardımcı performs all procedures in accredited hospitals equipped with advanced laparoscopic systems and international safety standards. Each patient receives a personalized care plan — from preoperative assessment to long-term postoperative follow-up.
“Surgery is only the beginning. True success comes from lifestyle change, continuous support, and commitment.” — Prof. Dr. Samet Yardımcı
