As with any surgical procedure, residual risks cannot be completely ruled out with tubular stomach surgery. These are the complications known with surgery, such as bleeding and post-operative bleeding, infection, thrombosis, embolism or adhesions. In rare cases, there may be disturbances in wound healing or scarring. The professional care of tubular stomach surgery in Turkish clinics reduces these risks to a minimum. The patient must be aware that a Sleeve Gastrectomy in Turkey is not reversible.
After the procedure, patients may experience temporary nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin, mineral or protein deficiencies. However, these can be prevented or corrected with appropriate nutritional counseling. And if the patient continues to eat excessively after the procedure, the stomach tube may stretch and enlarge again (dilatation).
