When one diet after another yields no lasting results and the pounds return as quickly as they left, it can be discouraging. For many overweight or obese individuals, bariatric surgery is much more than just a weight-loss aid; it's an opportunity to take control of their health.

This type of surgery restricts food intake and/or absorption, leading to gradual, lasting weight loss. By acting directly on the digestive system, bariatric surgery reduces hunger, controls portion size, and favorably modifies metabolism.

Today, more and more patients in Turkey are choosing this option to improve their quality of life, energy levels, and self-confidence.

Bariatric surgery in Turkey

Are you struggling to lose weight despite your efforts? Do you suffer from obesity that affects your health or quality of life? Bariatric surgery can provide an effective, long-lasting solution. In Turkey, this procedure is performed by recognized specialists in modern clinics using safe, personalized protocols.

Specifically, bariatric surgery acts directly on the digestive system to promote long-term weight loss. Depending on the procedure type, it may involve reducing the stomach size or bypassing part of the intestine. These changes limit calorie absorption and induce a faster feeling of fullness.

This operation is generally recommended for people with a BMI over 40 or over 35 if they have obesity-related illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.

In addition to promoting significant weight loss, the procedure can significantly improve quality of life and overall health. Many patients who choose to undergo this procedure in Turkey benefit from comprehensive support, excellent value, and professional follow-up every step of the way.

Are you eligible for bariatric surgery in Turkey?

Bariatric surgery is not a quick, cosmetic solution. It is a legitimate medical treatment for obesity reserved for individuals who cannot lose weight through dieting, nutritional monitoring, and regular physical activity.

The main eligibility criteria are as follows:

Reasons not to have bariatric / Obesity surgery ?

Before sending you the quote, our team will study your case and check if you are eligible to perform an obesity surgery in Turkey. In some cases, the bariatric surgeon may not recommend surgery and simply advise you to follow a proper diet.

Candidates for bariatric surgery undergo thorough evaluations to determine their suitability for the procedure. However, there are cases where avoiding this surgery is recommended. These may include:

Combining affordability with world-class surgeons, Türkiye has become a leading destination for bariatric and cosmetic procedures. Its central location and advanced clinics further contribute to its growing popularity among medical tourists.

Types of bariatric surgery

In Turkey, clinics specializing in bariatric surgery offer a variety of techniques tailored to each patient's needs. The choice of procedure depends on several criteria, including your BMI, medical history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals.

Adjustable gastric banding

Gastric banding is the least invasive procedure and is effective in over 80% of cases. It reduces the size of the stomach, thus reducing the quantity of food that enters the digestive tract. Patients can quickly feel full with gastric banding and gradually reach their ideal weight.

Gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y)

This procedure is available in two forms: Y-bypass and omega-bypass. Compared with other procedures, gastric bypass is a highly complex technique with a 70% efficacy rate.

Regardless of the method, the procedure's principle is the same: reducing the size of the stomach and shortening the path food takes through the intestine to:

Stomach reduction (Sleeve Gastrectomy)

Sleeve gastrectomy is an irreversible procedure that is highly effective in over 65% of cases.

The procedure involves removing part of the stomach, called the "pouch," and reducing the hormone that stimulates appetite.

Post-surgical follow-up: Role of the medical team

Bariatric surgery is only one step in the transformation process. Rigorous, personalized medical follow-up is essential to guarantee lasting results. In Turkey, a multidisciplinary team will accompany you throughout your journey and play a key role.

The surgeon

The bariatric surgeon operates and oversees the early stages of your recovery. He or she will:

The nutritionist

After surgery, it is crucial to strictly adapt your diet to avoid complications and ensure optimal weight loss. The nutritionist plays an essential role in helping you:

The psychologist

Bariatric surgery involves not only physical changes, but also emotional upheaval. That's why a specialized psychologist is available to:

This personalized follow-up by qualified healthcare professionals is key to maximizing your bariatric surgery results and enabling you to adopt a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle.

Potential complications of bariatric surgery

Bariatric surgery can lead to the following complications:

During the follow-up period, late complications and side effects are often linked to a lack of commitment to the medical team's recommendations.

Continued smoking increases the risk of ulcers, whether sleeve or bypass. Similarly, a lack of regular exercise can lead to vascular problems. It's important to understand that surgery is not a miracle solution! While it initially works independently, continued and active cooperation from the patient is essential thereafter.

If the patient is cooperative, even when it is difficult, the results can be optimal.

Pre- and post-surgery diet

Before undergoing bariatric surgery, it is important to establish a pre- and post-surgical diet plan.

The preoperative diet aims to reduce the amount of fat in and around the liver, thus minimizing risks during the operation.

The post-surgical diet facilitates healing and adapts to your new stomach. It will also help you adopt healthier eating habits.

Preoperative diet 

During the preoperative diet, patients should:

Postoperative diet

After bariatric surgery, patients should follow these guidelines:

Frequently asked questions

Although bariatric surgery can help you lose a significant amount of weight, keeping it off permanently depends on your lifestyle after surgery. In order to maintain your weight loss, you will need to eat healthy, exercise regularly, and attend medical checkups.

Most people lose 50 to 70% of their excess weight over 12 to 18 months after bariatric surgery. The actual number of pounds you lose depends on how much excess weight you had before surgery. Although the surgery is a powerful tool, your daily choices still play a significant role in your weight loss success.

Gastric bypass is usually the most effective bariatric surgery for weight loss. It reduces the size of your stomach, helping you shed a significant amount of weight and maintain your new weight.

You can typically resume light physical activities, such as walking a few days after bariatric surgery. Most people can resume more intense exercise, such as jogging or lifting light weights, after 4 to 6 weeks.

Yes, children and teenagers can undergo bariatric surgery in certain cases, but it is usually only considered when severe obesity is causing serious health problems and other treatments, such as diet, exercise, have not worked.

Bariatric surgery should be avoided for : 

  • People with bulimia and eating disorders
  • People who suffer from a mental illness
  • Drug addicts and alcoholics
