Am I eligible for a gastric sleeve in Turkey?

Gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy): surgery that removes most of the stomach and leaves a narrow tube, so smaller meals leave you full. The change is permanent.

https://my1healthstorage.blob.core.windows.net/my1health/uploads/image/FtquYReg4zMr2QyTRhudWY6uqGRNc6HUhX9Bx0as.webp

Eligibility is assessed individually. Your surgeon reviews your BMI (body mass index, your weight in relation to your height), health conditions, medicines and weight history before you book flights.

Have ready:

  1. Your height and weight
  2. Medicines you take
  3. Health conditions and past surgery
  4. Recent blood tests, if you have them

How the check works:

  1. Message us your height, weight and medical history.
  2. We send your details to the hospital team.
  3. You meet your surgeon on video.
  4. You receive a written quote and a confirmed plan.

How long do you stay in Turkey for a gastric sleeve?

Most gastric sleeve packages in Turkey run 7 to 10 days. That includes 2 to 3 nights in hospital, then hotel recovery until your surgeon clears you to fly.

https://my1healthstorage.blob.core.windows.net/my1health/uploads/image/RYFbfLgff70pU8aauOVBTFJDl2lGsmHvVcCwJCRD.webp

Your surgeon confirms your own stay after your assessment. London is about 4 hours from Istanbul by air.

Your stay at a glance:

  1. Video consultation and written quote, from home
  2. Flight to Istanbul, then a transfer to your hotel or hospital
  3. Tests and an anaesthesia review before surgery
  4. Surgery, usually laparoscopic (keyhole, through small cuts)
  5. Hospital nights with monitoring
  6. Hotel recovery, with your coordinator checking in
  7. Surgeon clearance, then your flight home

We check entry requirements for your passport before you book.

What aftercare do you get once you are home?

Aftercare continues once you are home. Medicana includes 12 months of dietitian support, and Acibadem sends an English discharge summary with remote follow up.

We send your records to your doctor and keep your support specialist on WhatsApp.

After a sleeve, peer reviewed research notes that guidelines recommend lifelong yearly nutrition and weight checks.

Daily supplements usually include a multivitamin, iron, folic acid, vitamin B12, and calcium with vitamin D. Your dietitian sets your doses.

Is it safe to have a gastric sleeve in Turkey?

Safety starts with who treats you. We verify every surgeon’s credentials and every hospital’s licence before we recommend a partner, and all five hospitals here are JCI accredited.

You then meet your surgeon on video and receive a written quote before you travel.

JCI: Joint Commission International, the body that accredits hospitals against international patient safety standards. Acibadem runs 7 JCI accredited hospitals, and Memorial was the first in Turkey to earn it.

Our four checks:

  1. Credentials and licence checks for your surgeon and hospital
  2. A video consultation with your surgeon
  3. A written quote that names your hospital, surgeon and package
  4. A named support specialist from first message to follow up

Share your details and we confirm your surgeon and quote

Gastric sleeve or gastric bypass in Turkey?

Gastric sleeve removes most of the stomach. Gastric bypass makes a small stomach pouch and reroutes part of the small intestine. Your surgeon recommends one after your assessment.
