The €2,600 package includes laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery at a JCI-accredited hospital where approximately 80% of your stomach is permanently removed. Also included: experienced bariatric surgeon, 2-3 nights hospital stay, 4 nights at a 5-star hotel, VIP airport transfers, endoscopy, full pre-op tests (blood work, ECG, chest X-ray), 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 affordable and available worldwide). If you need a more aggressive weight loss option, our Gastric Bypass package at €2,750 offers greater malabsorption. For non-surgical options, our Gastric Balloon at €2,000 is temporary and reversible.

Most patients lose 60-70% of their excess body weight within 12-18 months. For example, if you're 50kg overweight, you can expect to lose 30-35kg. Weight loss is rapid in the first 6 months, then gradually continues. Results depend on following dietary guidelines and lifestyle changes.

Ideal candidates have a BMI of 30 or higher, have tried other weight loss methods without long-term success, are committed to lifestyle changes, and are in generally good health. We assess each patient individually - send us your details for a free evaluation.

We recommend 4-5 nights in Istanbul. Day 1: Arrival. Day 2: Consultation, tests, and endoscopy. Day 3: Surgery with hospital stay. Day 4: Recovery and leak test. Day 5: Final check and departure. This ensures you're medically cleared before flying home.

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

Recovery is relatively quick due to the laparoscopic technique. Most patients walk the same day as surgery. You'll follow a liquid diet for 2 weeks, then soft foods, then normal foods by week 6. Most return to work within 1-2 weeks. Avoid heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks.

Diet progresses in stages: Week 1-2: Clear liquids only. Week 3-4: Protein shakes and pureed foods. Week 5-6: Soft foods. Week 7+: Regular foods in small portions. You'll eat about 1/4 of what you used to. Our nutritionist provides a detailed meal plan.

Yes, the stomach removal is permanent and cannot be reversed. Long-term success depends on maintaining healthy eating habits and regular exercise. Most patients maintain 50-60% of their excess weight loss long-term. We provide lifetime support to help you succeed.

Yes, lifelong vitamin supplementation is essential. You'll need a daily multivitamin, B12, calcium, vitamin D, and iron. Because your stomach is smaller, you absorb fewer nutrients from food. Regular blood tests monitor your levels. Supplements are affordable and widely available.

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, video consultations if needed, and follow-up throughout your weight loss journey at no additional cost.

Turkey is a global leader in bariatric surgery with lower operating costs, favorable exchange rates, and high procedure volume. Our surgeons perform thousands of procedures with excellent outcomes. You receive the same quality as Western countries at 70-80% less cost.
