I had an exceptional experience with Turkey-Health for my eye surgery in Turkey. They offer very competitive prices, and I would especially like to thank Nassim. His professionalism and availability were remarkable, and he brilliantly corrected the mistakes of his predecessor. I highly recommend their services!

I would like to thank all the staff at this hospital for their excellent welcome and impeccable care. A special thank you to Emily, who demonstrated great efficiency, genuine understanding, and immense availability. She listened attentively and supported us from beginning to end; she is a truly lovely woman. Don't hesitate to trust them; you will be in good hands!

Go there with your eyes closed, stop listening to what they tell you in France. The service is so impeccable, not a single misstep, from the airport pick-up upon arrival in Turkey to the return to the airport after the operation. The medical staff is very kind, the surgeon is extremely competent, a brand new 4-star hotel with a Turkish breakfast. A 24-hour translator, a rate two and a half times cheaper than in France... I'll stop there, no need to go any further.

I went there for the medical checkup and I would say everyone there was very nice, but even with a translator there is still a bit of an English barrier. I feel like I had a lot of questions that I wanted to ask the doctor but a little overwhelmed to ask with everything. ANOTHER THING IS IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS IN ENGLISH, it has been 2 weeks and counting.

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:

A high body mass index (BMI): A BMI of at least 40, or at least 35 if you have obesity-related illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.
Repeated failure of conventional weight-loss methods: supervised diets, dietary re-education, and intensive exercise... If these methods have not produced sustainable results, surgery may be considered.
You must be between 18 and 65 years old. Beyond this age range, a specific medical assessment is required to evaluate the risks.
You must be prepared to make lasting changes to your lifestyle, follow a nutritional program, and receive post-operative care from healthcare professionals.

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:

Severe heart failure.
Unstable artery illness.
Final stage lung disease.
Going through cancer treatment.
Hypertension.
Alcoholism or addiction to drugs.
Intellectual deficiency.

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:

Feel full right from the start.
Reduce calorie absorption.

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:

Check that the operation was successful and that you are recovering properly.
Monitor your weight loss and adapt recommendations if necessary.
Carry out regular check-ups to prevent complications.

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:

Draw up a balanced, personalized diet plan that takes your nutritional needs into account.
Guide you in the gradual introduction of solid and liquid foods.
Prevent nutritional deficiencies common after bariatric surgery by advising you on the necessary nutritional supplements.

The psychologist

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

Help you manage the emotional aspects of weight loss and develop a healthy relationship with food.
Help you deal with the stress, anxiety, and emotions associated with body transformation.
Prepare you for the post-surgery period by addressing lifestyle changes, self-confidence, and associated psychological challenges.

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:

Internal bleeding
Wound infection
Appearance of blood clots.

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:

Begin adding protein supplements (protein powders or drinks) to their diet.
Reduce fatty meats and dairy products.
Limit sugary foods and beverages.
Reduce high-carbohydrate foods such as bread and pasta.
Quit smoking and drinking alcohol.
Stop binge-eating.

Postoperative diet

After bariatric surgery, patients should follow these guidelines:

Eat and drink slowly and without rushing.
Opt for smaller meal portions.
Drink between meals.
Chew food slowly.
Increase consumption of protein-rich foods.
Avoid foods high in fat and sugar.
Include vitamin and mineral supplements in your diet.
