Gastric bypass is one of the bariatric surgery options available in Turkey for patients suffering from severe obesity. This procedure involves creating a small gastric pouch that can only hold a limited amount of food.

The gastric pouch is completely separated from the rest of the stomach and empties directly into a section of the small intestine, which is sutured to the pouch. Although food no longer passes through the original stomach, it is not removed.

Gastric bypass surgery in Turkey: Prices & information

The cost of gastric bypass surgery primarily depends on the expertise of the surgeon performing the procedure. Indeed, the quality of care must be given the highest priority, as this is not a simple operation.

In general, the approximate cost of a gastric bypass in Turkey is around 3,500 Euros. This price may vary between 3,000 and 4,000 Euros depending on each patient's case and individual needs.

With Turquie Santé, we provide full medical support throughout your bariatric surgery journey. Our team is ready to offer all the medical assistance you may need until your complete recovery.

What is a gastric bypass?

Gastric bypass is a type of bariatric surgery that aims to restrict the absorption of food in order to promote weight loss. Regardless of the specific technique used, this procedure is designed to reduce the size of the stomach and shorten the path food takes through the intestines in order to:

Gastric bypass is a mixed-type procedure with primarily functional effects, as it combines both “gastric restriction” and “malabsorption.” The surgery triggers hormonal changes that reduce the patient's appetite. These changes ultimately lead to significant weight loss, potentially reaching 60 to 70% of excess body weight.

The gastric bypass technique involves creating a small gastric pouch and bypassing the final portion of the small intestine through which food normally passes.

When is gastric bypass surgery indicated?

Bariatric surgery, such as gastric bypass, is considered only as a last resort, after non-surgical methods such as diet, regular physical activity and medication have failed.

In Turkey, bariatric surgery specialists recommend gastric bypass in the following cases:

Preoperative phase

The success of a gastric bypass largely depends on proper preparation. This approach first requires a thorough medical and psychological evaluation of the patient.

Mental Evaluation

Gastric bypass surgery requires a long-term commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, the patient must be mentally prepared for lifestyle changes and postoperative challenges.

Psychological support can be highly valuable in helping the patient mentally prepare and manage the emotional aspects of this transformation.

Physical Evaluation

In addition to psychological support, a complete pre-surgical assessment is necessary to ensure the procedure goes smoothly. This includes a physical examination and blood tests. An endoscopic examination of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum will also be performed to rule out any gastric and/or duodenal conditions that could contraindicate the surgery.

Multidisciplinary Preoperative Follow-Up

To maximize the chances of success and optimize postoperative recovery, the patient undergoes a multidisciplinary preoperative follow-up over a period of 6 to 12 months. This personalized program aims to:

The goal of this program is to provide individualized support throughout the entire process. This ensures that each patient has access to all the information and assistance needed to successfully achieve both physical and mental transformation.

Advantages of gastric bypass

Among the various bariatric surgery options, gastric bypass stands out for its long-term results and significant medical benefits, often surpassing those of the gastric balloon or sleeve gastrectomy.

Complications and side effects

Gastric bypass is a high-performance but technically demanding form of bariatric surgery, which involves modifying the digestive circuit through a bypass between the stomach and the small intestine. As with any operation of this type, complications may arise, particularly in the days following the operation. The rate of complications remains relatively low (2-4%),and their management depends largely on the expertise of the medical team.

Possible complications include

Thanks to Turquie Santé, you benefit from high-level medical support in JCI-accredited clinics and hospitals or those aligned with international standards. Each procedure is performed by experienced digestive surgeons specialized in bariatric surgery and supported by multidisciplinary teams (nutritionists, anesthesiologists, specialized nurses, etc.).

Alternatives to Gastric Bypass: Which options to consider?

Gastric bypass is not the only path to sustainable weight loss. Depending on your BMI, medical history, and personal goals, other bariatric surgery options may be just as effective—or even better suited—to your specific situation. Here's a brief comparison to help you make an informed decision:

TechniquePrincipleAdvantagesDisadvantages
Sleeve Gastrectomy (longitudinal gastrectomy)Removal of about 75–80% of the stomach to create a "gastric tube"
  • Less invasive than bypass
  • Significant weight loss
  • Does not alter the intestines
  • Irreversible
  • Risk of gastroesophageal reflux
Adjustable Gastric BandPlacement of a silicone band around the upper part of the stomach to limit intake
  • Reversible
  • Less invasive
  • Adjustable without surgery
  • Slower weight loss
  • Risk of band slippage or erosion
  • Requires very close follow-up
Gastric BypassCreation of a small gastric pouch connected directly to the small intestine, reducing calorie absorption
  • Rapid and long-term weight loss
  • Beneficial for type 2 diabetics
  • Improves comorbidities
  • Complex surgery
  • Risk of nutritional deficiencies
  • Requires lifelong monitoring

Feel free to ask all your questions during your initial teleconsultation. A dedicated medical team will take the time to listen, reassure you, and guide you toward the safest and most suitable technique for your case.

Safe Recovery After Gastric Bypass: Diet, Care, and Comprehensive Support

After gastric bypass surgery, your digestive system enters a new phase. It becomes more sensitive and requires a gradual adaptation to a new diet, along with close monitoring to ensure weight loss is effective, long-lasting, and safe.

We recommend following a progressive eating plan, typically in 4 stages:

  1. Liquid phase (1 to 2 weeks): broths, water, herbal teas, protein supplements.
  2. Pureed phase (2 to 4 weeks): vegetable purees, finely minced meats.
  3. Soft texture phase (weeks 4 to 6): well-cooked foods that are easy to chew.
  4. Gradual return to solid foods: small meals rich in protein, low in sugars and fats.

Eat slowly, chew thoroughly, and avoid drinking during meals to prevent overstretching the gastric pouch.

Engaging in light but regular physical activity, such as walking, promotes weight loss, improves digestion, and boosts energy levels.

At the same time, psychological support can be extremely valuable in helping you accept your physical transformation, manage your emotions, and stay motivated over time.

With Turquie Santé, you benefit from comprehensive professional care. All procedures are performed in accredited clinics that meet strict international standards. Postoperative care is personalized and includes medical consultations, nutritional guidance, and both medical and psychological support.

In the event of complications, appropriate medical intervention is guaranteed with reinforced safety protocols.

Turquie Santé is committed to supporting you every step of the way, ensuring that your transformation is safe and carried out with complete confidence.
