Am I a candidate?
Who is a candidate for obesity surgery in Turkey?
UK guidance from NICE usually considers bariatric surgery from a BMI of 40, or 35 with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnoea; a gastric balloon is often discussed from around 27 to 30. At JFS Clinic, your surgeon reviews your BMI and health history from your first message, then confirms on Day 2 in Izmir.
What is a gastric sleeve, and why diet alone often stalls
Obesity is a long-term medical condition, not a matter of willpower. When you lose weight by eating less, your body raises hunger hormones and lowers the energy it burns at rest, which is why many people regain weight after each diet. A gastric sleeve removes the part of the stomach that produces most of the hunger hormone ghrelin, and a gastric bypass changes how food meets the gut hormones that signal fullness. Neither replaces healthy eating; both make it easier to keep going with it.
Signs obesity surgery may suit you
- Your BMI is 40 or above, or 35 or above with a weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea or joint pain.
- You have tried structured diet and exercise programmes for at least six months without lasting weight loss.
- You are ready to follow a staged diet after surgery and take vitamin supplements for life after a sleeve or bypass.
- You are a non-smoker, or able to stop well before surgery, since smoking raises the risk of ulcers and leaks along the staple line.
- You can attend follow-up with a dietitian for at least the first year.
| Gastric balloon | Gastric sleeve | Gastric bypass | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical BMI range | Around 27 to 40 | 35 and above, or 40 and above | 35 and above, or 40 and above |
| Type 2 diabetes | Rarely the main reason to choose it | Often improves | Often the option discussed first |
| Severe reflux (heartburn) | Can worsen while the balloon is in | Can worsen after surgery | Usually improves |
| Incisions | None, placed through the mouth | 5 or 6 small keyhole cuts | 5 or 6 small keyhole cuts |
| Reversible? | Yes, removed after 6 to 12 months | No, part of the stomach is removed | Technically possible, rarely done |
What to discuss at your obesity surgery consultation
- Every diet, medication or weight loss injection you have tried, and how your weight responded.
- Whether you have reflux, a hiatus hernia or gallstones, since each can change which operation fits you.
- Your blood sugar, blood pressure and any sleep apnoea, with the medication you take for each.
- Previous abdominal surgery, including any earlier band, balloon or sleeve.
- Your eating patterns and support at home, which shape the diet plan your dietitian writes for you.
This is general guidance, not a diagnosis. Your surgeon makes the final decision after reviewing your BMI, tests and health history.
Sleeve vs bypass vs balloon
Types of obesity surgery, gastric sleeve vs bypass vs balloon
A sleeve makes the stomach smaller, a bypass reroutes food past most of it, and a balloon fills part of it for 6 to 12 months. At JFS Clinic, your surgeon chooses from your BMI, reflux and blood sugar, then confirms with blood tests and an ultrasound on Day 2 in Izmir.

- 4Narrow sleeve left, outlet kept
How a gastric sleeve changes the stomach
| Procedure | Often suits | How it works | Time and stay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gastric balloon | A lower BMI, or a first step before surgery | A soft balloon filled with saline takes up space in the stomach | 20–30 minutes under sedation, often home or to the hotel the same day |
| Gastric sleeveMost common | BMI 35 to 40 and above, without severe reflux | The outer curve of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow tube | Around 1 to 2 hours, 2 to 3 nights in hospital |
| Roux-en-Y gastric bypass | Type 2 diabetes, severe reflux, or a higher BMI | A small pouch is joined to a lower loop of the small intestine | Around 2 to 3 hours, 2 to 3 nights in hospital |
| Mini gastric bypass | Similar candidates to a Roux-en-Y bypass, surgeon's choice | A longer pouch with a single join to the small intestine | Usually a little shorter than a Roux-en-Y bypass |
| Revision surgery | An earlier band, sleeve or bypass that has not worked as planned | Converts or corrects the earlier operation, case by case | Confirmed by your surgeon at your check-up |
Times are typical ranges for keyhole surgery. Your surgeon confirms the operation, its length and your hospital nights after your tests in Izmir.
Gastric bypass vs sleeve, how your surgeon decides
The choice starts with three questions: how much reflux you have, whether you live with type 2 diabetes, and how your eating patterns look day to day. A sleeve keeps the normal route of food, which makes it simpler and gentler on vitamin absorption. The trade-off is that a narrow, higher-pressure sleeve can make existing heartburn worse, so people with severe reflux or a large hiatus hernia are usually steered towards a bypass instead.
A bypass has a stronger hormonal effect on blood sugar, which is why it is often the option discussed first when type 2 diabetes is part of the picture. It also asks more of you afterwards: lifelong supplements, regular blood tests, and avoiding very sugary food that can trigger dumping syndrome, a rush of nausea and sweating after eating.
A gastric balloon sits outside this decision. It suits people who want help with a smaller amount of weight, who are not ready for surgery, or whose surgeon wants to lower their weight before a later operation.
Gastric sleeve
Gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey, what a sleeve gastrectomy involves
A gastric sleeve, or sleeve gastrectomy, removes the larger outer curve of the stomach through 5 or 6 small keyhole cuts, leaving a narrow tube roughly the shape of a banana. In Izmir it takes around 1 to 2 hours under general anaesthesia, followed by 2 to 3 nights in hospital.
Because the new stomach holds far less, you feel full after a small plate. The part removed is also where most ghrelin, the hormone that drives hunger, is made, so many people notice their appetite drops in the first months. Food still travels the usual route, through the stomach outlet into the small intestine, so the way your body absorbs nutrients changes less than after a bypass, although daily vitamin supplements are still recommended for life.
The sleeve is not reversible, since the removed part of the stomach is taken out of the body. If reflux becomes a problem in later years, a sleeve can usually be converted into a gastric bypass. That is why your surgeon asks about heartburn before recommending a sleeve.
Gastric bypass
Gastric bypass surgery in Turkey, Roux-en-Y and mini bypass
A gastric bypass divides the stomach into a small pouch, about the size of an egg, and connects it straight to the small intestine, so food skips the rest of the stomach and the first section of the gut. Expect around 2 to 3 hours of keyhole surgery and 2 to 3 nights in hospital in Izmir.
In a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, pronounced "roo-en-why", the small intestine is divided and one end is brought up to the pouch; the other end is joined further down, forming the Y shape that gives the operation its name. In a mini gastric bypass, also called a one-anastomosis bypass, the pouch is longer and narrower and is connected to a loop of intestine with a single join, which makes the operation a little shorter.
Mini bypass vs Roux-en-Y is decided at your consultation, based on your reflux and BMI. Both versions need lifelong vitamin B12, iron, calcium and vitamin D, plus blood tests at least yearly. A revisional gastric bypass, used to correct or convert an earlier sleeve or band, is a separate and longer operation; whether it is offered for your case is confirmed by your surgeon.
Gastric balloon
Gastric balloon in Turkey, a short endoscopic option
A gastric balloon is placed through the mouth with an endoscope, a thin flexible camera, in a procedure of around 20 to 30 minutes under sedation. There are no incisions, nothing is removed, and the same Day 2 tests in Izmir come first.
Filled with sterile saline, the balloon takes up space and slows how quickly the stomach empties, so you feel full sooner. The first two or three days often bring nausea and cramping, eased with medication. Your surgeon tells you when you can return to the hotel after observation.
Depending on the type used, a balloon stays in place for six to twelve months and is then removed with a second short endoscopy. That temporary nature is the point: the balloon gives you a period of reduced appetite in which to change how you eat, supported by your dietitian. What you keep after removal depends on those habits, which is why a balloon is often discussed as a first step rather than a standalone fix.
Our promise to you
Weight-loss surgery is the start of a new chapter, not a quick fix, and we stay with you through it. Your surgeon and team plan the procedure around your health, and your coordinator keeps in touch long after you fly home, as your new routine takes shape.
How soon
How soon can you have obesity surgery in Turkey?
Most JFS patients are in Izmir within about a week of their first message. There is no waiting list; the main thing to plan around is the two-week pre-surgery diet most surgeons ask for before a sleeve or bypass.

Start the pre-op diet
For a sleeve or bypass, a low-calorie liquid-based diet of around two weeks shrinks the liver and makes keyhole surgery safer. We arrange the hospital, hotel and transfers.
- 4
Fly to Izmir
Your 8 days in Turkey begin with blood tests, an assessment by the anaesthetist and a face-to-face consultation, before anything is confirmed.
What can delay your obesity surgery date
Your surgeon reviews each of the points below before confirming the operation, and the date moves if your blood tests or the Day 2 assessment show that waiting would be safer.
| Factor | Why it matters | What usually happens |
|---|---|---|
| Smoking or nicotine | Raises the risk of ulcers, leaks and blood clots after stomach surgery | You are asked to stop for several weeks before and after, ideally for good |
| Uncontrolled blood sugar | High glucose slows healing and raises infection risk | Your diabetes medication is adjusted first, with your own doctor's input |
| Pre-op diet not completed | A large, fatty liver can block the surgeon's view during keyhole surgery | Surgery is planned after around two weeks on the liver-shrinking diet |
| Blood thinners and some medicines | They can increase bleeding along the staple line | Your surgeon tells you what to pause and when. Never stop prescribed medication without your own doctor's advice |
| Pregnancy, or plans for one soon | Rapid weight loss and diet changes are not safe in pregnancy | Most surgeons advise avoiding pregnancy for 12 to 18 months after surgery |
If you live in the UK, the NHS does fund weight loss surgery for people who meet the NICE criteria, usually after a specialist weight management programme, but waiting times vary widely between areas. Many people therefore compare private clinics at home and abroad. Wherever you go, ask three things before you book: who supports your diet after you fly home, how complications are handled if they appear weeks later, and which blood tests you will need each year.
Your 8 days in Turkey

The operation
How obesity surgery is done, step by step
On Day 3 of your 8 days in Izmir, a sleeve or bypass takes around 1 to 3 hours through 5 or 6 keyhole cuts; a balloon takes 20 to 30 minutes through the mouth.
A gastric sleeve or bypass is done under general anaesthesia, so you are fully asleep throughout. Compression stockings or calf pumps go on first, to protect against blood clots. Your surgeon makes 5 or 6 small cuts, each roughly one to two centimetres long, and gently inflates the abdomen with carbon dioxide to create space to work with a camera and long, slim instruments.
Inside the operation
Sleeve, bypass and balloon in four steps
- 1Gastric sleeve formedThe stomach is stapled into a narrow tube along its inner curve.
- 2Bypass pouch createdA small pouch is stapled off at the top of the stomach.
- 3Small intestine joinedThe pouch is connected directly to a lower loop of intestine.
- 4Gastric balloon filledPlaced by endoscope through the mouth, then filled with saline.
Gastric sleeve, gastric bypass and gastric balloon
For a gastric sleeve, a thin tube called a bougie is passed down into the stomach to act as a guide. Your surgeon then fires a stapler along its edge, from near the stomach outlet up towards the top, dividing off the outer curve; the staple line is often reinforced, and the removed part is taken out through one of the keyhole cuts. For a gastric bypass, a small pouch is stapled off at the top of the stomach, the small intestine is divided, and one end is brought up and joined to the pouch; in a Roux-en-Y bypass a second join lower down completes the Y.
Before closing, the surgeon checks every staple line and join for leaks, commonly by filling the new stomach with air or a coloured liquid and watching for bubbles or seepage. An anaesthetist monitors your heart rate, oxygen and blood pressure throughout.
A gastric balloon follows a different path. Under sedation, the endoscope checks the stomach lining, then the deflated balloon is guided down and filled with sterile saline through a thin tube. The whole procedure takes around 20 to 30 minutes and leaves no scars.
After a sleeve or bypass, you wake up in a recovery area where nurses watch your breathing, pain relief and blood pressure before you move to your hospital room. You are encouraged to sit up and take a short walk the same evening, and your first sips of water come once your surgeon is satisfied the staple lines are holding, usually the next day.
Recovery and diet, day by day
Obesity surgery recovery and diet, week by week
Most JFS patients leave hospital after 2 to 3 nights, fly home on day 7 or 8, and move from clear liquids to normal textures over 6 to 8 weeks. Move the slider to see each stage.
Recovery after a sleeve or bypass is shaped less by the small keyhole wounds than by your new stomach. The first month is about protecting the staple lines while they heal, which is why diet after a gastric sleeve moves through four stages: clear liquids, then full liquids and protein drinks, then pureed food, then soft food. Normal textures usually return from around six to eight weeks, in much smaller portions than before.
Two habits matter from day one. Sip at least one and a half to two litres of fluid across the day, never gulping, and keep drinks separate from meals by around 30 minutes so food has room. Protein comes first on every plate, to help healing and protect muscle.
Day 7
How you'll likely feel
Typical timeline for a keyhole sleeve or bypass. Recovery after a gastric balloon is shorter, and your surgeon and dietitian may give you a different plan.
| Activity | Week 1 | Week 2 | Weeks 3–4 | Weeks 5–8 | Months 3–6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diet | Clear liquids in small sips | Full liquids and protein drinks | Pureed food | Soft food, moving to normal textures | Normal textures, small portions |
| Walking | Short walks several times a day | Walking further each day | Longer daily walks | No restriction | No restriction |
| Desk work | Not yet, rest and walking | Most people are back at a desk | Full days comfortable | No restriction | No restriction |
| Driving | Avoid while on strong pain relief | Confirmed by your surgeon at your check-up | Set by your surgeon after your check-up | Usually no restriction | No restriction |
| Flying | Day 7–8, after your check-up, in compression stockings | Confirmed by your surgeon at your check-up | Set by your surgeon after your check-up | Usually no restriction | No restriction |
| Gym | Not yet | Not yet, walking only | Still avoid heavy lifting and core work | Gradual return, starting light | Normal exercise, as cleared by your surgeon |
Typical timeline for a keyhole gastric sleeve or bypass. Cells marked "Confirmed by your surgeon at your check-up" vary too much from person to person to generalise, so ask at your consultation.

What to expect
Obesity surgery results in the first year and beyond
Your coordinator stays in touch on WhatsApp after you fly home from Izmir. Weight usually starts to change in the first weeks, while your diet is still mostly liquid, and continues over the following 12 to 18 months after a sleeve or bypass. A gastric balloon brings a smaller and slower change over the months it stays in place. How much any one person loses depends on their starting weight, health, operation and habits, so this page gives no percentage figure.
Ten years on, the picture depends on follow-up. Some people regain part of the weight, and some develop reflux after a sleeve; both are reasons to stay in touch with your surgeon and dietitian and to keep taking your vitamins. If you are reading this because an earlier operation has left you struggling, with weight regain, reflux or difficulty eating, you are not alone, and a revision may be an option. Bring your previous operation notes to your consultation; your surgeon reviews them and advises whether a revision is an option for your case.
Results vary from patient to patient. Your surgeon will tell you what is realistic for your body at the consultation.

Questions
Obesity surgery in Turkey, frequently asked questions
How much would a gastric sleeve cost in Turkey?
At JFS Clinic, the gastric sleeve package is listed from $3,500 to $6,550. It covers all surgical, anaesthesia and hospital fees, 4 to 5 nights in a luxury hotel, VIP transfers between the airport, hotel and clinic, 24/7 personal assistant and interpreter support, and post-operative medication, dietitian support and a 1-year follow-up. The pound price and the prices for a gastric balloon or bypass are set in your written quote; your coordinator sends it once your surgeon has reviewed your height, weight and health history.
What the package covers →How soon can I have obesity surgery in Turkey?
Most JFS patients are in Izmir within about a week of their first message, once their health history has been reviewed. Before a sleeve or bypass, most surgeons also ask you to follow a short low-calorie diet for around two weeks, so plan your dates with that in mind. Your surgeon confirms surgery only after your tests in Izmir.
From first message to surgery →Can I get weight loss surgery on the NHS?
Yes, if you meet the NICE criteria, which usually start at a BMI of 40, or 35 with a condition such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Most people first complete a specialist weight management programme, and waiting times vary widely by area.
Is it safe to go to Turkey for a gastric sleeve?
Safety comes from the surgeon, the hospital and the aftercare plan, not the country. Ask how many bariatric operations your surgeon performs, whether the hospital has intensive care on site, and who supports your diet once you are home. JFS Clinic is licensed for health tourism, and every operation is confirmed only after your tests in Izmir.
Which hospital in Turkey is best for gastric sleeves?
No hospital can honestly claim to be the best for every patient. Look for a hospital licensed for international patients, with an intensive care unit, a team that performs bariatric surgery routinely and a clear aftercare plan with a dietitian. At JFS Clinic your surgeon is Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mutlu Ünver, who reports more than 500 bariatric operations, more than 2,000 oncological operations and more than 250 transplant operations, according to his own published profile. Ask any clinic for the same figure for your surgeon.
What happens 10 years after gastric sleeve?
Long-term outcomes depend heavily on eating habits, activity and follow-up. Some people regain part of the weight they lost, and some develop reflux over the years, which occasionally leads to a conversion to a gastric bypass.
How long does a gastric sleeve last?
A gastric sleeve is not reversible, because the removed part of the stomach is taken out of the body. How well it works over the years depends on eating habits, activity and follow-up. Some people regain part of the weight and some develop reflux, so staying in touch with your surgeon and dietitian matters. Your surgeon explains what is realistic for you at the consultation.
What's the difference between a gastric sleeve and a gastric bypass?
A gastric sleeve removes the outer curve of the stomach and leaves a narrow tube, without changing the route food takes. A gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and joins it directly to the small intestine, so food skips most of the stomach and the first part of the intestine. Bypass is often discussed when you have severe reflux or type 2 diabetes.
How long does a gastric balloon stay in?
Most gastric balloons stay in place for six to twelve months, depending on the type used, and are then removed with a second short endoscopy. Your surgeon confirms which balloon is used and how long it stays in at your consultation.
When can I fly home after obesity surgery?
After your surgeon's final check-up, usually around day 7 or 8 of your trip for a sleeve or bypass. Wear compression stockings, walk in the aisle every hour, keep sipping water and avoid lifting heavy luggage. After a gastric balloon, your surgeon tells you when it is safe to fly home.
How soon will I see results after obesity surgery?
Most people notice their weight changing in the first weeks, while their diet is still mostly liquid. Weight loss usually continues over the following year to eighteen months after a sleeve or bypass, and is slower and smaller with a balloon. Results vary from patient to patient. Your surgeon will tell you what is realistic for your body at the consultation.
