Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey
Expert Bariatric Surgery, Affordable All-Inclusive Packages & Life-Changing Results in Istanbul.
Why Choose Gastric Bypass in Turkey?
Gastric bypass surgery in Turkey offers a life-changing opportunity for those battling obesity. By altering the stomach and small intestine, this procedure restricts food intake and reduces calorie absorption, leading to significant, long-term weight loss.
At Aesthetics Plus Clinic, we provide world-class medical care at affordable prices. Our expert surgeons use advanced laparoscopic techniques to ensure minimal scarring and faster recovery. Beyond weight loss, gastric bypass often resolves obesity-related conditions like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

Gastric Bypass: At a Glance
Everything you need to know about your gastric bypass journey with Aesthetics Plus Clinic.
Understanding Gastric Bypass
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) is one of the most effective bariatric surgeries. It works by creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine. This bypasses a large part of the stomach and the first section of the small intestine.
The result is twofold: you feel full sooner (restriction) and your body absorbs fewer calories (malabsorption). This combination makes it a powerful tool for patients with a BMI over 40, or over 35 with comorbidities.
Types of Gastric Bypass Procedures
We offer different techniques tailored to your medical history and weight loss goals.
1. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)
The Gold Standard
The most common type. Ideally suited for patients with severe obesity and acid reflux (GERD). It provides substantial, long-term weight loss and excellent metabolic control.
2. Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB)
Faster Recovery
A simplified version of the bypass involving only one connection (anastomosis). It has a shorter operating time and recovery period, with weight loss results comparable to RYGB.
3. SASI Bypass (Loop)
Hybrid Technique
Combines a Sleeve Gastrectomy with a Loop Bypass. It offers powerful weight loss while reducing the risk of vitamin deficiencies common in standard bypass.
Cost of Gastric Bypass in Turkey
The cost of gastric bypass surgery in Turkey is approximately 70% lower than in the UK, USA, or Europe, without compromising on quality. At Aesthetics Plus Clinic, our all-inclusive packages ensure there are no hidden costs.

Your Gastric Bypass Journey
1. Arrival & Consultation
Upon arrival in Istanbul, our VIP transfer team takes you to your hotel. You will have a detailed consultation with your bariatric surgeon and undergo comprehensive pre-op tests.
2. Surgery Day
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia laparoscopically (keyhole surgery). It typically takes 1-2 hours. You will be closely monitored by our medical team.
3. Hospital Recovery
You will stay in the hospital for 2-3 nights. Our dietitians will guide you on your new nutritional plan, starting with clear liquids.
4. Hotel Rest & Check-up
After discharge, you will rest at your 5-star hotel. A final check-up ensures you are healing well before you are cleared to fly home.
5. Long-term Success
Weight loss begins immediately. You will follow a staged diet plan (liquids -> puree -> solids) over 4-6 weeks. Our team remains available for remote support.
Recovery & Lifestyle
- Week 1: Clear liquid diet only. Rest and light walking to prevent clots.
- Weeks 2-3: Pureed and soft foods. Energy levels begin to increase.
- Weeks 4-6: Gradual reintroduction of solid foods. Avoid sugar and high-fat foods to prevent "dumping syndrome."
- Month 3+: Most patients lose 30-50% of their excess weight. Regular exercise is encouraged.
