I came from Germany… All my check-ups before and after the surgery were completed flawlessly. … I am very pleased with my dietician, my doctor and the hospital.
The preliminary meeting is free. … Then the dietician took my measurements. I asked all my questions to Dr. Gökmen. … Everything is going very well.
My doctor explained the whole process to me before the surgery and he was always attentive afterwards. … We are continuing the process with the dietician now.
I did a lot of research. I had surgery on February 18th and am in my sixth month. … I’d like to thank him, Buse, and his team.
My friend had gastric bypass surgery… The regular follow-up process by the nutritionist for a year and the doctor for six months was invaluable.
I had surgery with Gökmen Hoca and everything went very well. I would like to thank his team and him for their interest.

Read article →Frequently Asked Questions About Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Turkey
What is gastric sleeve surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) is a laparoscopic bariatric operation in which around 75–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow, tube-shaped stomach. It reduces how much you can eat and affects hunger hormones, helping many patients lose weight when combined with long-term diet and lifestyle changes.
Who is eligible for gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey?
International guidelines generally consider bariatric surgery for adults with a BMI of 35 or above, and for some people with a BMI of 30–34.9 who have obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes. Your surgeon decides on eligibility after reviewing your medical history and tests. You can start with our BMI eligibility calculator.
How much does gastric sleeve cost in Turkey?
Our all-inclusive gastric sleeve packages typically range from €2,500 to €3,500. The exact price depends on your medical assessment, the hospital and the package you choose. Contact us on WhatsApp for a personalised quote and read our Pricing Policy.
What is included in the all-inclusive package?
The package includes pre-operative consultations and tests, surgeon and anaesthesia fees, hospital and hotel accommodation, VIP transfers, medication and supplements, nutritionist and psychological support, and 1 year of follow-up. See the full package details.
What is gastric sleeve recovery like?
Most patients stay around 3 nights in hospital and 1 night in a hotel. Many return to desk-based work within 1–2 weeks and start light exercise after 3–4 weeks. Your diet progresses in stages from liquids to regular textures under a dietitian’s guidance.
What are the risks of gastric sleeve surgery?
As with any major surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, staple-line leaks, blood clots and anaesthetic complications. Longer-term issues can include acid reflux, nutritional deficiencies and weight regain. Your surgeon will discuss your individual risks before surgery, and lifelong vitamin supplements and regular follow-up help reduce long-term problems.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary from person to person and no surgeon can guarantee a specific outcome. Weight loss depends on your starting weight, health conditions and long-term commitment to diet, activity and follow-up. Your surgeon can give you a realistic estimate after your assessment, and our weight loss projection calculator offers a general guide.
Gastric sleeve or gastric bypass — which is better for me?
Both are effective bariatric procedures. Gastric bypass may be preferred for some patients with severe acid reflux or type 2 diabetes, while the sleeve is technically simpler and does not reroute the intestine. Your surgeon will recommend the option that fits your health profile. Learn more about gastric bypass in Turkey and mini gastric bypass.
When can I fly home after surgery?
Patients are usually cleared to fly 4–7 days after surgery, once the surgeon confirms you are fit to travel. Staying hydrated and walking regularly during the flight is recommended.
Can I get pregnant after gastric sleeve surgery?
Yes. Doctors generally recommend waiting 12–18 months after surgery, while your weight stabilises, and planning pregnancy with your doctor and dietitian. Read our guide on pregnancy after gastric sleeve.
