Gastric Sleeve surgery is performed under general anesthesia and it is done laparoscopically which is a closed method. During the procedure, the abdominal wall is not cut out, the operation is performed with special surgical instruments with a camera attached on the tip. In this way, recovery after surgery is faster. In laparoscopical surgeries muscle tissue is not cut or damaged, therefore patient does not experience much pain after the surgery and pain is minimized by giving painkillers to the patient after the surgery. The surgery usually takes 2 hours. After the operation, the patient rests in the recovery room and the health status is monitored by surgeon and nurses.

Following your operation, you will stay in hospital for for 3 nights. Your stomach might be swollen and sore for several days and your surgeon may prescribe painkiller medication. You will be able to drink clear liquids the day after surgery. At the end of 3 days, you will go through routine tests again and if the doctor approves, you will be discharged. After being discharged from the hospital, you and your companion will stay in a hotel with all the comfort in the central location for 3-4 days and your health will be monitored under the supervision of a surgeon.
