Obesity & bariatric surgery in Türkiye

A healthier future starts with a safe first step.

Obesity is a medical condition, not a lack of willpower. When diet and exercise are not enough, bariatric surgery is one of the most effective, scientifically proven ways to achieve significant, lasting weight loss and to improve conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnoea.

Estelune connects you with experienced bariatric surgeons in fully equipped hospitals and surrounds the operation with what really matters: careful patient selection, nutrition guidance, psychological support and long-term follow-up.

Why choose Estelune

Medical-first approach

A complete assessment decides whether surgery is right for you and which technique fits.

Minimally invasive

Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery means smaller incisions, less pain and faster recovery.

Dietitian & psychological support

A team prepares you for the lifestyle change before and after the operation.

Long-term follow-up

Scheduled check-ins at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months help you stay on track.

Procedures & techniques

Gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy)

About 70–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a slim tube. Hunger decreases and you feel full sooner. The most common procedure worldwide.

Gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y)

A small stomach pouch is connected directly to the small intestine, limiting both food intake and calorie absorption. Often recommended in cases of reflux or diabetes.

Mini gastric bypass

A simplified single-connection bypass with shorter operating time and strong results in suitable patients.

Gastric balloon

A soft balloon is placed in the stomach endoscopically — without surgery — to help you eat less for around six months.

Revision surgery

For patients who regained weight or experienced complications after a previous operation.

Metabolic surgery

Procedures planned primarily to treat type 2 diabetes and related metabolic conditions in selected patients.

Frequently asked questions

Is bariatric surgery safe?
When performed by an experienced team in an accredited hospital after proper evaluation, bariatric surgery has a strong safety record. As with any operation there are risks, which your surgeon will explain to you in detail.
How much weight will I lose?
Results vary, but patients commonly lose 60–70% of their excess weight within 12–18 months when they follow dietary and lifestyle guidance.
Will I need to take supplements?
Yes. Vitamin and mineral supplements are an essential, lifelong part of care after most bariatric procedures, and our dietitians will guide you.
When can I return to normal activities?
Most patients return to desk work within 1–2 weeks and to full physical activity within about 4–6 weeks, according to their surgeon’s advice.
Can I travel home by plane after surgery?
Usually yes, after a final check on day 5–7 and clearance from your surgeon.

Results and recovery times vary from person to person. Every treatment starts with a medical evaluation by a licensed specialist.
