Obesity Surgery Package in Turkey

Medical tourism makes high quality and affordable weight loss surgery available to anyone. Turkey is one of the best destinations for patients who need bariatric surgery!

Bariatric surgery may be an option for adults with severe obesity, whose body mass index (BMI), a measure of height in relation to weight, is over 40, and who have serious health problems linked to obesity.

Bariatric surgery includes a variety of procedures; weight loss is achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with a gastric band or by removing a part of the stomach (sleeve gastrectomy, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch) or by resecting and re-routing the small intestine to a small stomach pouch (gastric bypass surgery).

Procedures can be grouped into three main categories:

• Predominantly malabsorptive -  rearrange and/or partially remove the patient’s digestive system
• Predominantly restrictive - reduce oral intake by limiting gastric volume, produce early satiety
• Mixed - apply both techniques simultaneously

If you follow diet and exercise recommendations, you can keep most of the weight off. You will also need medical follow-up for the rest of your life.

Best candidates for Bariatric Surgery are patients who...

• Can’t lose weight or keep it off using other methods
• Are committed to lifelong healthy eating, physical activity, and medical follow-up
• Have extreme obesity (BMI > 40)
• Have serious health problems linked to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes or sleep apnea
• Fully understand the risks

What is the Cost of Bariatric Surgery in Turkey? 

The starting price of bariatric surgery in Turkey is around $3,500. In the United States, the approximate cost of gastric bypass surgery is around $20,000, which shows the procedure in Turkey can be significantly cheaper.
