Procedure:

The surgeon completely removes the stomach’s bottom and a portion of its body. It creates a slight curve that repeats into a thin sleeve.

As a result, the patient is unable to eat more. The stomach can only hold as much as it can in a severely constricted sleeve.

Additionally, there is no way to expand the stomach in any direction. Due to the pressure on the walls, the patient has a constant sense of fullness even after eating food that extends the whole length of the cramped space. The amount of food consumed decreases dramatically in the same period.

Aftercare and Recovery:

The following guidelines must be followed for a smoother recovery after  Gastric Sleeve Procedure in Georgia & Tbilisi:

• Operations are performed under general anesthesia by the laparoscopic method, using special staplers and high-tech equipment.
• Duration of operations: 2-3 hours.
• The very next day after the operation, the patient can eat independently.
• The total recommended hospital stay is 3-4 days.
• After the operation, there is a decrease in body weight by up to 80% for 12-18 months. After the normalization of metabolism, the body finds its balance and the weight stabilizes.

Results of Gastric Sleeve:

The effect of the operation is ensured by the creation of a narrow tube from the stomach, which significantly reduces its capacity, and slows down the passage of food through the stomach, causing a persistent feeling of satiety with a small amount of food. Weight loss begins immediately after surgery, reaching a maximum effect by the end of the first year.
