Sleeve gastrectomy is a proven method used worldwide to treat severe obesity. The procedure is performed by highly trained specialists using state-of-the-art medical technology. The costs of gastric sleeve surgery are correspondingly high if it is carried out in a high-price country such as the United States or Canada. Here you can quickly reach $ 18,000 USD - no comparison to the cost of a sleeve gastrectomy in Turkey. Of course, this is not a problem if the procedure is covered by health insurance. But unfortunately, this is not always the case!
In the U.S., Canada or other countries, insurance companies often have strict criteria when it comes to covering weight loss surgeries such as the gastric sleeve. Typically, a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or above, or 35 with related health conditions, is required as a general guideline. However, personal struggles due to obesity, even at lower BMI levels, are often not taken into account. And even if insurance is willing to cover the surgery, you may still face long waiting times—especially if it is not deemed an urgent medical necessity.
Considering the significant physical and emotional toll that obesity can have, it’s understandable that many patients start to ask whether they should fund the surgery themselves. When you factor in the significantly lower gastric sleeve surgery costs in Turkey—combined with top-level medical care from Dr. Feridun Gökçe—this alternative becomes highly attractive. You can get a gastric sleeve performed by the highly experienced Dr. Gökçe for as little as $2,990 USD!
No insurance coverage or long waiting times? A gastric sleeve in Turkey with Dr. Gökçe is an excellent alternative to quickly undergo this life-changing procedure.
If you can get a service at a significantly lower cost, it is legitimate to ask why. Do you have to compromise on quality? Or how do you explain the low cost of a gastric sleeve in Turkey compared to the US or Canada?
Turkey does indeed have significant locational advantages in terms of costs. That is why it has developed leading expertise in many medical-cosmetic areas. The range extends from high-quality dentures to hair implants and gastric reduction surgery.
In total, over 1,800,000 people from all over the world came to Turkey as “health tourists” in 2023
Many patients take advantage of their stay in Turkey for a gastric reduction to combine it with a relaxing vacation. The warm hospitality, pleasant climate, beautiful beaches and rich cultural heritage offer the perfect opportunity to combine the useful with the enjoyable.
Basically, the cost of medical treatment is a sum of countless individual parts – and if almost every one of them is cheaper than in Western countries, it is understandable that in the end the price is lower, even for a complex and demanding operation such as a gastric sleeve.
Despite the lower costs, as a patient you benefit from the highest medical standards, top clinics and the latest technology. Of course, the attending specialist Feridun Suat Gökçe must be emphasized here. For decades, he has made it his mission to help people who are severely overweight to lead a better life. More than 8,000 satisfied patients impressively demonstrate this commitment As a lecturer, he passes on his knowledge and experience. Likewise, you will benefit from an experienced team and well-rehearsed processes that have been in place for many years, where absolutely everything has been thought of.

Another attraction of a gastric sleeve treatment with Dr. Gökçe is the comprehensive all-inclusive packages. The English-speaking contact persons take care of all aspects, e.g. the private shuttle service at the airport on arrival and departure, as well as the transfers from the hotel to the clinic and back. Even with the low-priced entry-level package, you are always in the best of hands, and everything is thought of so that you can look forward to the operation in a completely relaxed manner.
As already mentioned, you can get a gastric sleeve operation from Dr. Gökçe for as little as $2,990 USD. This amount is extremely attractive even within Turkey! The only additional cost is the flight, but fortunately this is not a major factor. The costs of a sleeve gastrectomy in Turkey, including the flight, are still significantly lower than the costs of a surgery in Canada or in the US. With a little advance planning, flights can be booked for an attractive price. Tip: Use comparison portals such as Skyscanner or Kayak to find the best price.
