Gastric Bypass Surgery in Antalya, Türkiye
With a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, food goes into a small new stomach pouch and then straight to a lower part of the small intestine. Portions get smaller and absorption changes. Plan for 2–3 hospital nights and 7 hotel nights.

Risks and recovery
All surgery carries risks. For a bypass, they include bleeding, infection, a leak at a connection, blood clots, ulcers at the join, bowel obstruction or internal hernia, and dumping syndrome. Because absorption changes, you need vitamin and mineral supplements for life and regular blood tests for iron, vitamin B12, calcium and vitamin D.
Your diet builds up in stages over several weeks, and your surgeon will say when you can return to work. See how long to stay in Antalya after surgery and flying after surgery.

Frequently asked questions
How long will I stay in hospital after a gastric bypass?
Between 2 and 3 nights, depending on how you recover, followed by 7 hotel nights.
Can a bypass be undone?
Reversal is possible but complex and rarely done, so treat it as permanent.
Why do I need vitamins for life?
Absorption changes, and without supplements deficiencies build up slowly.
Should I choose a bypass or a sleeve?
Neither suits everyone. It depends on your health, reflux and history.
Who checks my blood tests after I return?
Your GP can help, alongside our 2 years of remote follow-up. See aftercare after surgery abroad.
