Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Antalya, Türkiye
In a gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy), the surgeon removes a large part of the stomach and leaves a narrow sleeve, so smaller meals fill you up. Our package covers 2 hospital nights and 7 hotel nights, so most trips last around 9–10 days.

Who may be suitable?
Surgeons generally consider a sleeve for adults with a BMI of 40 or more, or 35–40 with an obesity-related condition such as type 2 diabetes or sleep apnoea. If you have significant acid reflux, you may be steered towards a bypass instead. Your surgeon decides after assessment.

Risks and recovery
All surgery carries risks. With a sleeve, these include bleeding, infection, a leak from the staple line, blood clots and reflux. The operation cannot be reversed, and you will need lifelong vitamin and mineral supplements with regular blood tests.
Over several weeks you move from liquids to purées to soft food. Your surgeon will tell you when you can work and exercise again. See how long to stay in Antalya after surgery and flying after surgery.
