No prepayment - payment only in Istanbul

Your appointment reservation does not require a prepayment because it is important to us that you first gain trust in the doctor. We are convinced of the quality of our service – that’s why you only pay on-site.

Money back guarantee

The cost estimate you receive is of course free of charge. If a different price is charged on-site for the agreed treatment, you will get your money back. Costs for medically alternative treatments are transparently listed on our website.

150 Euro flight bonus

The flight booking is done through our travel organization. The flight ticket is paid for in advance. On-site, 150 euros will automatically be deducted from the operational costs.

Individually tailored, low-interest, and unbureaucratic financing options for your treatment costs – entirely according to your wishes.

Convenient transfer service with free Wi-Fi

Carefree transfer, individually coordinated with your surgery times. Our transportation service reliably takes you between the airport, clinic, and hotel – with free Wi-Fi for extra comfort.

You pack your suitcase – we take care of the rest.

Your medical journey is carefully organized from the very beginning. The packages include overnight stays in partner clinics and selected hotels with breakfast included. Transfers, preliminary examinations, surgeries, and follow-up visits are fully coordinated. Your medical records are initially reviewed by a team of professors. Based on this, the surgeon is selected whose specialization best fits your treatment. You do not have to choose a doctor yourself – the right specialist will be specifically assigned to you. Just pack your suitcase; everything else is ready for you.

Accompanying person free of charge

Enjoy the comfort of having your companion free of charge in the same room and during the shared transfer. Only the flight costs are additional – everything else is already organized for you.

| Bariatric surgery offers various surgical methods

Possible methods of stomach reduction

Sleeve Gastrectomy

With the laparoscopic technique, only minimal incisions are made in the abdominal wall, through which a high-resolution camera and specialized micro-instruments are inserted. This gives the surgeon a detailed view of the stomach and allows the reduction to be performed with particularly high precision along the anatomical structures. This method is ideally suited for patients with a high body mass index, as it enables effective weight loss while preserving the natural gastric outlet. Because of the minimally invasive approach, the healing time is significantly shorter, while at the same time providing maximum control over the new stomach shape. The fine, pinpoint scars usually heal inconspicuously and are later hardly visible on the skin.

What you should know before a gastric sleeve surgery

Advantages

  • Proven, minimally invasive procedure with good tolerability and fundamental reversibility

  • Significant and long-term weight reduction due to reduced stomach volume

  • Reduction of hunger-promoting hormones, which improves the feeling of satiety

  • Positive effects on comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea

  • No rerouting of the intestines, thus a lower risk of severe malabsorption problems

  • Shorter hospital stay and rapid mobilization after the operation

Disadvantages

  • Nutrient and vitamin deficiencies can occur and require regular monitoring

  • Lifelong dietary adjustments and consistent follow-up care are necessary

  • Long-term success depends heavily on the patient's cooperation and lifestyle changes

Arrival in Istanbul

Upon your arrival in Istanbul, you will be greeted by our transfer service and comfortably taken from the airport to your selected hotel. The arrival day is intentionally planned without medical appointments and is entirely at your disposal. Use this time to recover from your journey, settle in calmly, and gather new energy.

Since medical examinations and treatments are scheduled in the following days, we explicitly recommend keeping the first day calm. Relax at the hotel, enjoy light meals, and give your body the necessary rest. This conscious recovery phase helps you to start the upcoming treatment steps well-prepared and stable.

Pre-examination & Operation

On this day, all necessary medical pre-examinations will take place, including detailed blood analyses, further diagnostic checks, and a personal information discussion with the treating specialist.

Your individual requirements and the medically feasible options will be discussed in detail. After the pre-examinations are completed, the operation will take place. Throughout your stay in the clinic, you will be continuously cared for and accompanied by German-speaking specialists.

Dismissal & Hotel Stay

The next day, the first medical follow-up examination takes place. Your health condition will be checked and the healing process assessed. In the following three to four days, you will remain in the clinic where you will be medically monitored and cared for.

During this time, the medical team as well as German-speaking support are available to you at any time – in person on site, by phone, or via WhatsApp. The inpatient care is for your safety and supports a stable healing process after the procedure.

Follow-up examination & return home

Before you leave, a detailed final examination will take place with your surgeon. The surgical outcome will be checked, the healing process will be assessed, and all your questions will be discussed thoroughly. Your initial weight reductions will be measured. You will receive a complete clinic report as well as all relevant medical documents for your aftercare.

Your return transfer to the airport will be organized reliably and precisely according to your flight details.
This is how your beauty journey ends with the best care – and you start your new everyday life relaxed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the requirements for a gastric reduction intervention?

Surgical therapy is the only effective long-term treatment for pathological overweight in patients with a body mass index > 35 and the corresponding comorbidities. However, different medical prerequisites must be met for a procedure for each patient. These include aspects such as weighing the surgical risk, the ability to cooperate, consent for the necessary lifelong follow-up care, and the expressed willingness to adhere to dietary requirements.

Does the health insurance cover a gastric bypass surgery?

The costs for gastric reduction surgeries are only covered by health insurance in exceptional cases. The hurdles for this are high: The patient must have a BMI of at least 40 or have had a BMI of 35 with concurrent secondary illnesses for more than three years. To receive coverage, the patient must submit a request together with the doctor, which must include a medical certificate.

What is the liquid phase before the operation about?

This refers to the preparation phase involving high-protein liquid food. This liquid phase typically lasts from 10 to 14 days before the operation. The goal of this measure is to achieve a weight reduction of several kilograms, which is intended primarily to reduce the size of the liver. An extended liquid phase is only carried out for a body mass index > 45. Essentially, it is about ensuring that the stomach is well emptied and, as much as possible, the intestines are cleared.

What preliminary examinations are carried out before the operation in the hospital?

This primarily includes very comprehensive laboratory examinations and, if not already done, an endoscopy. ECG and X-ray examinations are carried out at the request of the anesthesia team; in individual cases, a pulmonary function test may also be conducted. Everything else depends on the personal risk profile.

Is a stomach operation dangerous?

Risks, as with all surgeries, cannot be ruled out. Anesthesia is riskier for overweight people than for those of normal weight. Since obese individuals often come with accompanying conditions such as heart or circulatory problems, the risk of infections or bleeding increases.
