Bekannt aus:
Being severely overweight not only endangers your health, but also costs you quality of life and reduces your self-esteem. Many people are looking for a solution to lose weight, but unfortunately sport and a healthy diet are often not enough. Bariatric surgery to the highest medical standards enables a lasting improvement - you lose the extra pounds and can lead a healthier, happier life.
We help you to understand how each type of stomach reduction works and to make the right choice for you.
This surgical procedure divides the stomach into a large, inactive part and a smaller part that continues to be used for food intake. The small intestine is connected directly to this smaller part of the stomach ("pouch"). As with the gastric sleeve, you will need significantly less food to feel full - the basis for permanent weight loss.
This gastric surgery is a simplified version of the gastric bypass described above. Due to the lower surgical risks with equally positive results, this procedure is now preferred in most cases. However, special conditions may make the "classic" gastric bypass the better choice.

One of the most significant advantages of having weight loss surgery in Turkey is the affordability. Lower operational costs allow clinics to offer procedures at much lower prices compared to Western countries, without sacrificing quality.

Many clinics offer packages that cover the surgery, hospital stay, and follow-up appointments, making it easy for patients to return home with confidence.
Turkish hospitals are equipped with state-of-the-art technology that matches international standards. Procedures to reduce the size of the stomach, such as sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass surgery, are performed by highly skilled and experienced surgeons. These professionals ensure that every surgery is conducted safely and efficiently. Gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey, for example, has become particularly popular due to its proven effectiveness in helping patients lose excess weight.
Weight loss surgery is not just about the procedure; it’s about achieving long-term success. Turkish clinics focus on holistic care, providing detailed guidance on lifestyle changes, including nutrition plans, physical activity, and management of potential side effects.

Language barriers are minimal, as many clinics cater specifically to international patients. Consultations and postoperative care are often provided in multiple languages, including English and German, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.

A complex procedure such as the gastric sleeve operation, including comprehensive care and aftercare, costs $2,990 USD in our most affordable package. You only have to pay for the flight costs. With a little advance planning, flights can be available at cheap prices. Our tip: Comparison portals such as Skyscanner or Kayak help you find the best price!

An operation such as a gastric sleeve or a gastric bypass is always a serious procedure. For this reason, it is important to find out which operation or treatment is best for you by taking a thorough medical history. We look at past and current illnesses, state of health, and the degree of excess weight! It’s also essential to provide comprehensive information about the risks involved in gastric surgery.
Dr. Gökçe is one of the most experienced doctors in this field. He has worked in university research and can now look back on decades of practical experience.

At the same time, you benefit from significantly lower prices than in countries such as Germany, Switzerland or the United States and Canada.
In principle, every medical operation is associated with risks. This also applies to our gastric surgeries. The good news is that these surgeries have been performed worldwide for many years, and the possible risks and side effects have been well researched. In particular, with the leading specialist Dr. Gökçe, you are in good hands. Short-term complications are noticed immediately and can be treated directly while you are still in the hospital. Later side effects are usually not a problem.
After a stomach reduction surgery, nutrition plays a central role in supporting the healing process and achieving long-term weight loss. However, this is not about restriction but rather an adjustment that is manageable and contributes to a healthier lifestyle.
In the first few weeks after the operation, the diet begins with easily digestible, liquid, and pureed foods. This allows the stomach to gradually adapt to the new conditions. Soft, easily chewable foods can soon be integrated, eventually transitioning to a complete diet – but in smaller portions.
It's essential to focus on nutrient-rich foods to provide the body with the energy and vitamins it needs. Protein-rich foods such as fish, chicken, eggs, and legumes take center stage. Staying well-hydrated by drinking enough water is also crucial. Small meals distributed throughout the day help maintain a comfortable feeling of fullness.
With the support of our nutritionists and personalized plans, this adjustment is entirely manageable and a valuable step toward a healthier, more active life!
