Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) surgery is the most widely used surgical method in the treatment of obesity. Post-LSG follow-up is as important as the surgery itself. This study aims to examine the most accurate way to follow in the postoperative follow-up of LSG by examining the changes in body compositions such as fat and muscle. Material and Method: 19 female patients who underwent LSG surgery by a single surgeon in Kırşehir Training and Research Hospital between September 2019 and March 2020 were included in our study. The mean age of the patients was 35.73 years. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 43.03. Bioelectric impedance analysis was performed on the patients before the surgery, at the 1st and 2nd months after the surgery. Statistical evaluation of the results was performed. Results: Many undesirable values such as weight, BMI, and fat were significantly reduced (p <0.05). However, no significant values were obtained in mineral, protein, and fluid values, especially in the 2nd month measurements (p=0.582, p=0.160, p=0.376, respectively). Statistically insignificant values were obtained in the 2nd month measurements in the right and left leg and left arm muscles when extremity muscle values were examined (p=0.431, p=0.132, p=0.413, respectively). There was only a statistically significant decrease in right-arm muscle values (p <0.05). Conclusion: Acquiring a multifaceted approach and a good algorithm in follow-up such as diet and exercise after LSG surgery will ensure that patients lose more weight healthily.}, number={2}, publisher={Sağlık Bakanlığı Ankara Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi}, organization={her hangi bir kurumdan destek alınmadı}
