What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric Sleeve surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where approximately 70–80% of the stomach is removed. The remaining stomach is reshaped into a tube or “sleeve,” which significantly reduces your appetite and the amount of food you can consume.
By removing the part of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone (ghrelin), the surgery also helps regulate appetite and promotes hormonal balance related to weight control.

FAQs
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
We recommend staying 5 to 7 days in Istanbul for surgery, recovery, and post-operative checks before traveling back home.
Is Gastric Sleeve surgery painful?
Gastric Sleeve is performed under general anesthesia using laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. You may experience some discomfort in the first few days, but pain is typically mild and well-managed with medication.
How much weight will I lose?
Most patients lose 60–70% of their excess weight within the first 12–18 months after surgery, provided they follow medical and dietary guidelines.
Is it safe to travel for surgery?
Yes. Turkey is a leading destination for medical tourism. At BestMedTurkey, we adhere to international health and safety protocols, and all procedures are performed by highly experienced, board-certified surgeons.
Will I need to follow a special diet after surgery?
Yes. You’ll start with a liquid diet, then gradually move to soft foods and solids. Our nutritionist will provide a personalized diet plan to support healthy weight loss and healing.
Can I bring someone with me?
Absolutely. Many patients bring a companion. We can help arrange accommodation and transfers for both of you.
