| Mini Gastric Bypass | Single incision, less invasive than traditional bypass | Less invasive | Accelerated recovery, fewer complications | Lower BMI patients | Significant weight loss |
| Single Anastomosis Duodenal Switch (SADS) | Combines vertical sleeve gastrectomy and duodenoileostomy | Moderately Invasive | Variable | Higher BMI | Substantial weight loss |

Although bariatric surgery in Turkey is a simple procedure, with almost every individual becoming a potential candidate. However, certain medical and psychological conditions must be fulfilled to qualify.
Moreover, establishing candidacy will also help with smooth recovery and mitigates potential complications. Therefore, you are an ideal person for weight loss in Turkey if you meet the following requirements.
Following a successful health screening, eligible candidates for bariatric sleeve surgery will begin a two-week liquid diet. Our bariatric surgeons will provide personalized guidelines to ensure a safe and effective procedure, aiming to reduce abdominal and liver fat.
Additionally, follow the instructions below to get in the best physical shape for stomach surgery in Turkey.
Sleeve gastrectomy is a minimally invasive surgery performed by our expert laparoscopic surgeons. While robotic surgery can be used in some cases, it generally requires a deep understanding of stomach anatomy.
By employing advanced laparoscopic techniques, our surgeons will conduct the procedure through tiny incisions. This avoids the need for a single large incision, resulting in reduced trauma and faster recovery.
Turkey gastric sleeve surgery usually includes the following steps.
Our nursing staff will prepare you for the gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey by providing loose clothing and covering your head.
An anesthesiologist will administer general anesthesia or conscious sedation for your comfort. You will be positioned in a supine or slightly elevated pose for optimal access.
Further, our healthcare provider will position your legs in stirrups to enable safe and efficient laparoscopic port insertion. The surgical site will be cleaned and sterile drapes are applied to complete the initial preparation.
Our bariatric surgeons will make 3-5 small incisions (0.5-1.5cm) in the abdomen. They will then expand the abdomen by pumping carbon dioxide gas through the ports, providing better visualization while keeping the pressure stable.
Moreover, the specialized instruments will be used to gently retract the liver, exposing the stomach, surrounding areas, and omentum (fatty tissues).
This is the main part of weight loss surgery in Turkey, and it requires a high level of expertise. A video camera (laparoscope) is inserted to see the inside of the body for precise surgery.
Our weight loss surgeon carefully dissects the stomach from surrounding tissues, identifying and preserving blood vessels and nerves. Then they meticulously divide the stomach’s blood supply vessels.
Our experts utilize a specialized stapling device to create vertical staple lines, effectively reducing the stomach to approximately 25% of its original size.
They achieve sleeve creation by removing excess stomach tissue through a port, and reinforcing the area to prevent potential leaks.
Bleeding is a common problem with biliopancreatic diversion, so we always run leak tests to ensure our patients are safe and free of potential future complications.
Our team will perform an air or dye test to verify staple line integrity before shifting patients for the closure stage of the procedure.
Our surgeons complete the closure by removing the laparoscopic ports and then securely closing the incisions using sutures or staples.
You will then be shifted to the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) for monitoring during anesthesia recovery.
Gastric sleeve prices in Turkey are the best in the world and come with state-of-the-art facilities and patient care. Hence, when you plan for this surgery, ensure to consult our team to get the best services at an affordable price.

Gastric bypass is the most complex and hence the riskiest bariatric surgery.
While it’s rare for a gastric sleeve to leak for years and even months after surgery, it is possible. Most leaks occur due to suture line disruption, but other factors can also contribute like infection or erosion.
The chances of stomach growing back after gastric sleeve surgery are low; but it can happen. However, it usually takes several years for the stomach to return to its original size.
Although, individuals feel they are not hungry for initial months after a gastric sleeve surgery. However, their appetite eventually restores and they start feeling hungry again.
Since you will have a smaller stomach, hence less food is required to make it full. Likewise, stomach removal produces chemical changes in the body that reduce appetite.
