Weight loss procedures

We help you to understand how each type of stomach reduction works and to make the right choice for you.

Gastric bypass

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.

Mini gastric bypass

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.

FAQ

What does a gastric reduction in Turkey cost?

Turkey is an excellent place to go if you are looking for high medical standards at comparatively affordable prices. Thanks to the favorable local infrastructure, a gastric reduction is significantly cheaper than in Germany or other Western countries. 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!

Are there English-speaking contact persons around my gastric surgery in Turkey?

During the entire stay, English-speaking staff will be at your side. Consultations and aftercare are also conducted in English. As an internationally renowned specialist, we also offer many other languages so that you can feel 100% safe and informed.

Which gastric surgery is right for me?

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.

What experience does Dr. Gökçe have in the area of gastric reduction?

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. He passes on his knowledge as a lecturer. Patients from all over the world travel to him to have a gastric reduction performed to the highest medical standards. His team is also highly trained – a well-coordinated team for all phases of the process.

What is the advantage of having obesity surgery in Turkey with Dr. Gökçe?

Every gastric surgery is performed by Dr. Gökçe himself. With around 30 years of experience as a doctor, 22 years of experience as a surgeon and over 12 years specializing in bariatric surgery, Dr. Gökçe offers excellent expertise. An all-round service is offered that takes all aspects into account – both locally (accommodation, shuttle service, English-speaking supervisors) and a consultant for aftercare including a nutrition plan. At the same time, you benefit from significantly lower prices than in countries such as Germany, Switzerland or the United States and Canada.

What are the risks of gastric bypass surgery?

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.

What Does Nutrition Look Like After Stomach Surgery?

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!
