Gastric Bypass in TURKEY
Smaller stomach, bigger future - transform your life with gastric bypass in Istanbul.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a type of obesity surgery designed to help individuals with severe weight problems lose weight safely and effectively. The procedure works by reducing the size of the stomach and rerouting a portion of the small intestine, limiting both food intake and nutrient absorption. This dual mechanism leads to significant, long-term weight loss and improvement in obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. Gastric bypass in Turkey, especially at top-tier clinics like Estevien Clinic in Istanbul, is widely sought after for its medical excellence, affordability, and comprehensive care packages tailored for international patients.

How Does Gastric Bypass Surgery Work?
Gastric bypass involves two major steps:
Stomach Reduction: The surgeon creates a small pouch from the upper part of the stomach, roughly the size of an egg, drastically reducing how much food you can eat at one time.
Intestinal Rerouting: A section of the small intestine is connected to this new pouch, bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the intestine. This limits calorie and nutrient absorption.
This combination results in both restrictive and malabsorptive effects, which lead to rapid and sustainable weight loss, along with hormonal changes that reduce hunger and improve insulin sensitivity.
