Obesity Surgery
Obesity Surgery
In the field of obesity surgery, we provide safe, modern, and reliable surgical solutions at our partner hospital in Antalya, in accordance with international standards. Through individually assessed treatment processes, we aim for permanent weight loss, metabolic improvement, and an enhanced quality of life.
Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve) is the most commonly performed obesity surgery procedure, in which a large portion of the stomach is surgically removed, permanently reducing stomach volume. By lowering the levels of appetite-regulating hormones, it supports effective weight loss and long-term success.
Gastric Bypass is an effective surgical technique that both reduces stomach volume and partially limits nutrient absorption. It is especially preferred for patients with severe obesity and metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes. This procedure offers strong outcomes in terms of weight loss and metabolic control.
Mini Gastric Bypass is a technique performed in a shorter operative time compared to the traditional bypass and is carried out using a single anastomosis. While providing effective weight loss, it stands out for its shorter surgery duration and faster recovery process.
At our partner hospital in Antalya, obesity surgery procedures are safely performed by experienced surgeons and a multidisciplinary medical team. Through proper patient selection, detailed preoperative evaluation, and comprehensive follow-up care, long-lasting and healthy results are achieved.

Who is a suitable candidate for obesity surgery?
Obesity surgery is generally suitable for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher accompanied by obesity-related conditions. Eligibility is determined after a detailed medical evaluation and a multidisciplinary assessment.
How long does weight loss continue after obesity surgery?
The most rapid weight loss typically occurs within the first 12–18 months after surgery. During this period, patients lose a significant portion of their excess weight. Long-term success depends on maintaining healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes.
Is obesity surgery risky?
Like any surgical procedure, obesity surgery carries certain risks. However, with experienced surgeons, modern techniques, and proper patient selection, these risks can be minimized. Comprehensive preoperative evaluation and regular postoperative follow-up are essential.
When can patients return to normal life after obesity surgery?
Most patients can return to their daily routines within 1–2 weeks after surgery. Full recovery time may vary depending on the surgical method used and the individual’s healing process.
