The €2,750 package includes laparoscopic gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y) surgery at a JCI-accredited hospital where a small stomach pouch is created and connected directly to your small intestine. Also included: experienced bariatric surgeon, 3-4 nights hospital stay (longer than sleeve for intestinal connection healing), 5 nights at a 5-star hotel, VIP airport transfers, endoscopy, full pre-op tests, nutritionist consultation with personalized diet plan, leak test before discharge, all medications, and lifetime WhatsApp aftercare.

The package does not include flights, travel insurance, personal expenses, or lifelong vitamin supplements (which are essential after bypass and affordable worldwide). If you prefer a simpler procedure, our Gastric Sleeve package at €2,600 offers 60-70% excess weight loss with less vitamin requirements. For non-surgical options, our Gastric Balloon at €2,000 is temporary and reversible.

Gastric bypass typically results in 70-80% excess weight loss within 12-18 months - more than gastric sleeve. For example, if you're 50kg overweight, you can expect to lose 35-40kg. It's the gold standard for significant weight loss and diabetes resolution.

Gastric bypass offers more weight loss (70-80% vs 60-70%) and is better for diabetes resolution. However, it's more complex, requires more vitamin supplementation, and has stricter dietary rules. Gastric sleeve is simpler with fewer complications. Your surgeon will recommend based on your BMI, health conditions, and goals.

We recommend 5-6 nights in Istanbul. Day 1: Arrival. Day 2: Consultation, tests, and endoscopy. Day 3: Surgery. Day 4-5: Hospital recovery and leak test. Day 6: Final check and departure. The longer hospital stay ensures proper healing of the intestinal connections.

Your surgery will be performed by a board-certified bariatric surgeon from our team with extensive experience in gastric bypass procedures. Our surgeons have performed thousands of bypass operations with excellent outcomes. During your consultation, you'll discuss your weight loss goals, medical history, and whether bypass or sleeve is right for you.

Dumping syndrome occurs when sugary or fatty foods move too quickly into the small intestine after bypass. Symptoms include nausea, cramping, and sweating. While uncomfortable, many patients see this as a benefit - it naturally discourages unhealthy eating and reinforces good habits.

Diet progresses gradually: Week 1-2: Clear liquids. Week 3-4: Protein shakes and pureed foods. Week 5-8: Soft foods. Week 9+: Regular foods in small portions. Avoid sugar and high-fat foods to prevent dumping syndrome. Our nutritionist provides a detailed meal plan.

Yes, lifelong vitamin supplementation is essential after gastric bypass - more so than after gastric sleeve. You'll need a daily multivitamin, B12, calcium, vitamin D, iron, and possibly others. Because you absorb fewer nutrients, regular blood tests monitor your levels.

Yes, gastric bypass is highly effective for type 2 diabetes - even more than gastric sleeve. Up to 80% of patients achieve complete diabetes remission, often within days of surgery before significant weight loss. It also improves blood pressure, sleep apnea, and other obesity-related conditions.

You receive lifetime WhatsApp aftercare with direct access to your bariatric surgeon and medical team. This includes 24/7 support for any questions, dietary guidance, vitamin protocol support, video consultations if needed, and follow-up throughout your weight loss journey at no additional cost.
