Why choose Türkiye for surgical procedures?

Türkiye offers affordable, high-quality care with skilled surgeons, advanced facilities, seamless medical tourism packages, and the opportunity to explore its rich culture.

What is the recovery time for most surgeries?

Recovery times vary by procedure but typically range from 1-4 weeks for minimally invasive surgeries like bariatric or hernia repair.

What bariatric procedures are offered at the clinic?

We offer sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Bypass, and Mini Gastric Bypass surgeries tailored to your specific health needs and goals.

How much weight can I expect to lose after bariatric surgery?

Most patients lose 60-80% of their excess weight within 12-18 months, depending on the procedure and lifestyle changes.

What languages does Dr. Gül and his team speak?

Dr. Gül and his team are fluent in English, Spanish, and Turkish to ensure clear communication with all patients.

Will I need to take supplements after bariatric surgery?

Yes, supplements are usually required to maintain proper nutrition after surgery. A personalized plan will be provided for you.

Does insurance cover these procedures?

Coverage depends on your insurance provider and the type of procedure. Contact us for assistance with insurance-related questions.

Can I combine treatment with travel in Turkey?

Yes! Many patients combine their treatment with a relaxing stay in Istanbul or nearby destinations. We can assist with planning.

What support is available after surgery?

We provide ongoing support through follow-up appointments, nutritional guidance, and access to our team for any questions or concerns.

Am I a suitable candidate for bariatric surgery?

Suitability is decided after a medical evaluation. Surgery is generally considered for a BMI of 40 or above, or 35–39.9 alongside weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. For lower BMIs, non-surgical options may be more appropriate.

How long do I need to stay in Türkiye?

It depends on the procedure. For most bariatric surgeries a stay of around 5–7 days is typical, allowing time for the operation, initial recovery and post-operative checks before you fly home.

What pre-operative tests are required?

Before surgery you will have blood tests, imaging and an anaesthesia assessment, along with any consultations needed to confirm you are ready for the procedure.

What is the difference between gastric sleeve and gastric bypass?

A sleeve gastrectomy reduces the size of the stomach, while a gastric bypass both reduces the stomach and reroutes part of the digestive tract. The most suitable option is determined during consultation based on your health profile.

What can I eat after surgery?

You follow a staged plan that begins with liquids, then moves to pureed and soft foods before returning to regular meals, all guided by a dietitian with a plan tailored to you.

When can I return to work and exercise?

Most patients return to daily activities within 1–4 weeks, with a gradual return to exercise once approved by your surgeon. Recovery time varies by procedure and individual.

Are there non-surgical weight-loss options?

Yes. Non-surgical methods such as the gastric balloon and gastric (stomach) botox are available for suitable patients; eligibility is determined during a medical evaluation.

Is the anaesthesia safe and how is it managed?

Procedures are carried out in a fully equipped medical setting with a specialist anaesthesia team following standard safety protocols. Your fitness for anaesthesia is assessed beforehand.

Can bariatric surgery help with obesity-related conditions?

Many patients see improvement in obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and reflux. Outcomes vary from person to person and require ongoing medical follow-up.

What follow-up care do I get after returning home?

We provide ongoing support after you return home, including remote follow-up, nutritional guidance and access to our team, together with the recommended vitamin and mineral supplementation.
