Bariatric Surgery in Istanbul – Gastric Sleeve, Bypass

What is Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery is the general term for surgical methods that achieve permanent weight loss by reducing stomach volume or regulating nutrient absorption, for excess weight that hasn’t responded sufficiently to diet and exercise.

At ViennaLettersMedical, we first conduct a free initial assessment to determine the best method for your health and weight-loss goals, then plan your process together with experienced general surgeons in Istanbul.

Who Is It For?

A suitable treatment plan can be created for people with a high Body Mass Index (BMI) who have not achieved sufficient results through diet and exercise. Exact suitability is confirmed after a free assessment that reviews your health history.

Our Methods

Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy)

Stomach volume is surgically reduced, creating an earlier sense of fullness. One of the most commonly applied methods.

Gastric Balloon

A special balloon placed in the stomach without surgery reduces volume. A temporary and less invasive option.

Gastric Bypass

Combines stomach reduction with rerouting of the small intestine, also regulating nutrient absorption.

The right method for you depends on your health history, BMI, and goals. We determine the most suitable method together during your free assessment.
