Obesity Surgery in TURKEY
Start your new life in Istanbul. Effective, lasting weight-loss with expert surgical care.
Obesity Surgery
Obesity surgery, also known as weight-loss surgery or bariatric surgery, is a medical intervention designed to help individuals with severe obesity lose weight safely and effectively by altering the digestive system. These procedures typically aim to reduce the size of the stomach or limit calorie absorption, leading to significant and sustained weight reduction. Obesity surgery in Turkey, especially in Istanbul, has become increasingly popular due to its successful outcomes, experienced surgeons, and internationally accredited clinics like Estevien Clinic. It is often recommended for patients with a BMI over 35 who have not achieved long-term results through diet, exercise, or medical treatments alone.

Types of Obesity Surgery
At Estevien Clinic and other leading medical centres in Turkey, several types of weight-loss surgeries are offered based on each patient’s health profile and weight-loss goals:
Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy): Removes a large portion of the stomach, limiting food intake and reducing hunger hormones.
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y): Reroutes part of the digestive tract to reduce both food intake and calorie absorption.
Gastric Balloon (Non-surgical): A temporary balloon is inserted into the stomach to promote satiety and aid portion control.
Mini Gastric Bypass: A simplified and shorter version of the traditional bypass with excellent results.
Each surgery is supported by comprehensive nutritional and psychological support, both before and after the procedure, to ensure sustainable results.
