The costs for gastric reduction in Turkey vary significantly depending on the chosen method. The gastric balloon procedure is the most affordable option at €1,990, requiring only a short hospital stay of 2 days and allowing immediate recovery. The most expensive options, such as biliopancreatic diversion, gastric band, and transit bipartition, cost €5,090 each and require a 4-day hospital stay with a 2-day recovery period. The mini-gastric bypass and SILS method offer a good compromise between cost (€3,590 each) and hospital stay (4 days), with similar treatment and recovery times. This variety of options allows patients to choose a treatment that suits their medical needs and financial situation.
There are various types of gastric reduction procedures that are chosen based on the individual needs of the patient:
The mini-gastric bypass in Antalya, Turkey, is a newer and increasingly popular procedure. It is similar to the gastric bypass in that a part of the small intestine is bypassed to reduce the absorption area.
Mini-Gastric Bypass Turkey – Cost: from €3,590!
The Omega (Mini) Bypass is an effective alternative to standard gastric bypass surgery for many patients in Turkey. It closely resembles the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure. The mini-gastric bypass in Turkey aids in weight loss by limiting the amount of food consumed and influencing gut hormones involved in appetite control.
Introduced in the late 1960s, the mini bypass was initially dismissed but has regained popularity thanks to advancements in laparoscopic ("keyhole") surgery. When performed in Turkey, the mini gastric bypass represents a quick, effective, and cost-efficient alternative to conventional gastric bypass in Germany.
The Gastric Balloon in Turkey / Antalya: This method is for obese people who need to lose weight quickly. The stomach is filled, leaving little space for food.

Many people suffer from obesity (Adipositas) despite repeated attempts to completely change their diet, consistently avoid sugar, and regularly exercise. Regardless of how it appears externally, one's quality of life is always affected. In Antalya, we want to offer you various options to help you regain control of your life and your desired weight through a surgical procedure—feel free to contact us!
One of the restrictive techniques of gastric surgeries in Turkey, which we offer to our patients, is the so-called gastric balloon in Turkey. A gastric balloon in Turkey is an oval capsule that can be easily swallowed by you or inserted by a specialist through a gastroscopy. It is then filled with a suitable substance, usually a gas or air mixture, or a saline solution. Since a gastric balloon in Turkey involves only a minor procedure, taking about 30 minutes, you can leave our practice on the same day. To avoid risks, the gastric balloon is removed by your specialist in Turkey after about 3-6 months. This is particularly necessary to prevent possible irritation of the gastric mucosa, which can cause nausea, stomach pain, and vomiting.
The cost of inserting a gastric balloon is individual and depends on various factors. If interested, simply inquire with our partner in Antalya!
The Biliopancreatic Diversion in Turkey / Antalya is an effective bariatric surgery for significant weight loss in obesity.
Biliopancreatic Diversion Turkey / Antalya – Costs from €5,090
A biliopancreatic diversion is a surgical procedure for weight loss. The Biliopancreatic Diversion in Turkey / Antalya is often performed with a duodenal switch. The surgery is especially suitable for patients with high obesity and a BMI over 50, where other weight reduction methods have not achieved the desired success. The high expertise and many years of experience of the specialists and surgeons in Turkey restore patients' health and a good sense of well-being.
The first step of this surgery is the so-called sleeve gastrectomy. Here, about 80 percent of the natural stomach is removed, leaving a smaller stomach with a tubular shape similar to a banana. In biliopancreatic diversion, the pylorus valve, which delivers food to the small intestine, and a limited part of the small intestine remain.
In the second step of the surgery, the surgeon connects the end section of the intestine with the duodenum near the stomach. This procedure significantly reduces the intake and absorption of nutrients, including proteins and fats.
In biliopancreatic diversion in Turkey, usually only a single procedure is necessary. In less common cases, the biliopancreatic diversion in Turkey can be performed in two separate procedures. The weight loss after the sleeve gastrectomy is awaited before the intestinal bypass is placed.
With a Gastric Band in Turkey / Antalya around the upper stomach, it creates a minimal pre-stomach. This leads to a faster feeling of fullness and ultimately the desired weight loss.
Gastric Band in Turkey / Antalya – Costs from €5,090
Have you tried everything to permanently reduce your weight? Not only to feel comfortable in your own body again but also to steer your health back on the right track? Are you suffering from obesity (Adipositas) and want to do something about it? – No problem, then you are in the right place! We are happy to advise you on gastric surgeries, associated costs, treatment processes, etc. Just contact us!
One of the restrictive treatment methods in the form of gastric surgery in Turkey is the gastric band in Turkey. This is placed around the stomach by one of our specialist surgeons using a minimally invasive technique. Under general anesthesia and using laparoscopy, the gastric band is inserted in Turkey through the so-called "keyhole method". The keyhole method means that only a few incisions are needed in your abdominal wall to then place the band around the upper part of the stomach.
The stomach is thereby divided into two parts, creating a pre-stomach. Due to the small volume of the created front stomach section (size of a tennis ball), not much food can be absorbed. If too much is eaten, an uncomfortable pressure in the upper abdomen and throat occurs, quickly leading to nausea and vomiting. This leads to a certain learning process for the patients, especially since the feeling of hunger remains naturally present!
The Transit Bipartition in Turkey / Antalya is intended to halt the disease in specific diabetes patients. This surgical procedure is mostly performed minimally invasively through the abdominal wall.
Transit Bipartition in Turkey / Antalya – Costs from €5,090
Some patients suffering from morbid obesity (Adipositas) also suffer from Type 2 Diabetes (Diabetes). Both conditions are among the so-called multiple chronic metabolic disorders – lipid metabolism disorders also fall into this category. Consequently, the entire body suffers under this influence: starting from the individual organs, over the joints that have to bear the entire load, to the psyche, which must never be overlooked in this context! Thus, obese people are often excluded from society, find it harder to connect or find a job, and rarely escape this endless hamster wheel without professional help.
Our team in Antalya would like to help you get your life back on track. With the help of metabolic surgery, particularly the Transit Bipartition according to Santoro, we, as well as our entire medical team in Turkey, aim to help you achieve more joy in life and stable health. Feel free to contact us!
The Scarless Stomach Reduction SILS Method in Turkey: In Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery in Antalya, highly qualified surgeons use a single access point, typically your navel, for the surgery.
Scarless Stomach Reduction SILS Method in Turkey / Antalya – Costs from €3,590
The Single-Incision-Laparoscopic-Surgery (SILS) in Turkey in Antalya. The Single-Incision-Laparoscopic-Surgery (SILS) in Turkey in Antalya is an innovative surgical procedure that offers advantages over conventional laparoscopy or keyhole surgery. It reduces postoperative pain and allows scarless operations. The Single-Incision-Laparoscopic-Surgery (SILS), which is also used in sleeve gastrectomy, leads to better cosmetic results and reduces the burden on patients.
The development of minimally invasive surgery has fundamentally changed the way surgical procedures are performed. Especially the Single-Incision-Laparoscopic-Surgery (SILS), an advanced form of laparoscopy, has attracted significant attention in Antalya, Turkey. This technique, which requires only a single incision, offers numerous advantages over traditional methods, from reduced postoperative pain to faster recovery time. The following section highlights how SILS is revolutionizing the field of surgery and what specific benefits it offers patients undergoing stomach surgery.
Recovery after a stomach reduction requires lifestyle and dietary adjustments. Patients must adhere to a specific diet plan and regularly attend medical follow-ups to ensure they remain healthy and effectively lose weight.
Side effects of stomach reduction may include:
The success rate of stomach reduction surgery is 99%, according to patient reports on their surgical outcomes. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy can help patients lead a healthy life and improve eating habits, as shown by the reviews of stomach reduction.
The amount of weight a patient loses after a stomach reduction surgery or sleeve gastrectomy depends on their determination to follow the postoperative instructions of the doctor. A proper diet must be adhered to regularly and consistently.
The stomach reduction surgery helps patients with the following conditions:
In stomach bypass surgery, the stomach is divided into two parts, and the smaller stomach is connected to the small intestine. The procedure can be performed laparoscopically and is the preferred choice among doctors and patients.
Patients should avoid the following foods and drinks during their postoperative diet:
Hallo,
Ich überlege, einen Magenballon einsetzen zu lassen und das Ganze mit einem Urlaub in der Türkei zu kombinieren. Hat jemand von euch Erfahrung damit gemacht, für diesen Eingriff in die Türkei zu reisen, insbesondere nach Istanbul oder Antalya? Wie waren eure Erfahrungen mit der Klinik und dem Erholungsprozess, während ihr in einem Resort-Hotel geblieben seid? Würdet ihr empfehlen, den Eingriff mit einem Urlaub in Istanbul oder Antalya zu verbinden, und wie habt ihr die Nachsorge organisiert, während ihr in einem Resort gewohnt habt?
Ello
Hallo, Ich bin für meinen Magenballon-Eingriff in die Türkei gereist und habe das Ganze mit einem Urlaub kombiniert, was sich insgesamt als eine fantastische Erfahrung herausgestellt hat. Ich entschied mich für Antalya, obwohl ich auch Istanbul in Betracht gezogen habe, da beide Städte für Medizintourismus bekannt sind. Letztendlich habe ich mich wegen der Resort-Hotels und der entspannteren Atmosphäre für Antalya entschieden, was ich für die Erholung ideal fand.
Die Klinik, die ich in Antalya ausgewählt habe, war modern und professionell und hatte einen ausgezeichneten Ruf im Medizintourismus. Von dem Moment an, als ich ankam, war das Personal sehr aufmerksam und bot mir sowohl vor als auch nach dem Eingriff hervorragende Betreuung. Die Ärzte nahmen sich die Zeit, alles ausführlich zu erklären, was mir sehr geholfen hat, alle meine Bedenken zu lindern. Die Kommunikation war kein Problem, da das Klinikpersonal Englisch sprach.
Nach dem Eingriff verbrachte ich den Großteil meiner Erholungszeit in einem Resort-Hotel. Das war ein großer Teil meiner Entscheidung für Antalya – sich am Pool entspannen zu können und leichte Spaziergänge am Strand zu machen, machte die Erholung viel einfacher. Das Resort selbst war luxuriös und ruhig, was mir half, mich auf meine Gesundheit und Genesung zu konzentrieren, ohne das Gefühl zu haben, in einer Krankenhausumgebung festzustecken. Das Hotelpersonal war sich meiner Situation bewusst und sorgte dafür, dass ich Zugang zu leichten, gesunden Mahlzeiten hatte, die den Ernährungsempfehlungen nach dem Eingriff entsprachen.
Istanbul ist ebenfalls eine großartige Option, wenn man mehr ein Stadterlebnis sucht. Es gibt viele erstklassige Kliniken in Istanbul, und wenn du eher an Sightseeing interessiert bist, könnte dies besser zu dir passen. Da die Erholung jedoch etwas Ruhe und Erholung erfordert, fand ich persönlich die Resort-Umgebung in Antalya perfekt. Die Kombination aus der Professionalität der Klinik und der entspannten Atmosphäre des Resorts ließ die gesamte Erfahrung eher wie einen Urlaub wirken, statt wie eine medizinische Reise.
Ein weiterer großer Grund, warum ich mich für die Türkei entschieden habe, war die deutlich geringere Kosten im Vergleich zu meinem Heimatland. Selbst mit den Ausgaben für das Resort-Hotel war es immer noch ein Bruchteil des Preises, den ich zu Hause bezahlt hätte. Außerdem war die Idee, einen notwendigen medizinischen Eingriff mit einem Urlaub zu verbinden, sehr reizvoll.
Hinsichtlich der Nachsorge habe ich dafür gesorgt, dass ich alle notwendigen Informationen und Anweisungen von der Klinik hatte, bevor ich abreiste. Die Ärzte gaben mir Kontaktdaten für den Fall, dass nach meiner Rückkehr Probleme auftreten sollten, und ich hatte auch Nachsorgetermine per Videoanruf arrangiert. Ich würde empfehlen, mindestens eine Woche nach dem Eingriff in der Türkei zu bleiben, um sicherzustellen, dass man sich wohl fühlt und genug Zeit zur Erholung hat, bevor man zurückreist. In einem Resort-Hotel zu sein, ermöglichte es mir, mich in einer ruhigen Umgebung zu erholen, während ich trotzdem leichte Urlaubsaktivitäten genießen konnte.
Zusammenfassend kann ich nur empfehlen, einen Magenballon-Eingriff mit einem Urlaub in der Türkei zu kombinieren, egal ob man sich für Istanbul oder Antalya entscheidet. Beide Städte bieten ausgezeichnete medizinische Einrichtungen, aber wenn man eine entspanntere Erholung bevorzugt, könnte ein Resort-Hotel in Antalya die bessere Wahl sein. Achte nur darauf, die Klinik gründlich zu recherchieren, Bewertungen zu lesen und die Nachsorge sorgfältig zu planen. Es war auf jeden Fall eine lohnende Erfahrung für mich, und ich bin froh, dass ich mich für diesen Weg entschieden habe!

Dear All,
I'm considering getting a gastric balloon procedure and combining it with a holiday in Turkey. Has anyone here traveled to Turkey, specifically Istanbul or Antalya, for this procedure? How was your experience with the clinic and the recovery process while staying at a resort hotel? Would you recommend combining the procedure with a holiday in Istanbul or Antalya, and how did you manage post-procedure care while staying in a resort?
Frank
Hi Frank,
I traveled to Turkey for my gastric balloon procedure and combined it with a holiday, which turned out to be a fantastic experience overall. I opted for Antalya, although I also considered Istanbul, as both cities are well-known for medical tourism. Ultimately, I chose Antalya for its resort hotels and more relaxed atmosphere, which I thought would be ideal for recovery.
The clinic I selected in Antalya was modern and professional, with a great reputation in medical tourism. From the moment I arrived, the staff were very attentive, and they provided excellent care both before and after the procedure. The doctors took the time to explain everything in detail, which really helped ease any concerns I had. Communication wasn’t an issue, as the clinic had English-speaking staff.
After the procedure, I spent most of my recovery time at a resort hotel. This was a big part of why I chose Antalya—being able to relax by the pool and take gentle walks on the beach made the recovery much easier. The resort itself was luxurious and peaceful, which helped me focus on my health and recovery without feeling like I was stuck in a hospital environment. The hotel staff were aware of my situation and made sure I had access to light, healthy meals that fit the post-procedure dietary recommendations.
Istanbul is also a great option if you're looking for more of a city experience. There are many top-notch clinics in Istanbul, and if you prefer being in a city with more sightseeing options, it might be a better fit for you. However, since recovery requires some downtime and a focus on rest, I personally found Antalya's resort setting perfect. The combination of the clinic’s professionalism and the relaxing environment of the resort made the entire experience feel like a holiday rather than a medical trip.
The cost was another big reason I chose Turkey, as it was much more affordable than getting the procedure in my home country. Even with the expense of staying at a resort hotel, it was still a fraction of the price I would have paid back home. Plus, the idea of combining a necessary medical procedure with a holiday made the decision even more appealing.
In terms of post-procedure care, I made sure to have all the necessary information and instructions from the clinic before leaving. The doctors gave me contact information in case I had any issues after returning home, and I also had follow-up appointments arranged via video calls. I’d recommend staying in Turkey for at least a week after the procedure to ensure you’re comfortable and have enough time to rest before traveling back. Being at a resort hotel allowed me to recuperate in a calm environment while still enjoying some light holiday activities.
In summary, I would highly recommend combining a gastric balloon procedure with a holiday in Turkey, whether you choose Istanbul or Antalya. Both cities have excellent medical facilities, but if you’re looking for a more relaxed recovery, a resort hotel in Antalya might be the better option. Just make sure to do thorough research on the clinic, read reviews, and plan your post-procedure care carefully. It was definitely a rewarding experience for me, and I’m glad I chose to do it this way!

I did some research and found out that Istanbul, Turkey is one of the best places to get a gastric balloon procedure. Therefore, I’m planning to travel to Istanbul for the treatment. Here’s my question: has anyone here had experience with getting a gastric balloon in Istanbul, Turkey? How was your experience with the clinic, the procedure, and the aftercare? Would you recommend it?
Thanks in advance!
Omar
Dear Omar,
I had my gastric balloon procedure done in Istanbul, and my overall experience was very positive. Istanbul is a well-known hub for medical tourism, and the clinics there are modern and professionally equipped. The clinic I chose in Istanbul had an extremely competent team that provided excellent care both before and after the procedure.
One of the main reasons I opted for Turkey, specifically Istanbul, was the significantly lower cost compared to my home country, even when factoring in travel expenses. There are many renowned clinics in Istanbul, so it’s important to do thorough research in advance and ensure the clinic has good reviews and proper accreditation.
If you’re considering getting the gastric balloon in Turkey, especially in Istanbul, I would definitely recommend it. Just make sure you have a solid plan for aftercare once you return home.

Hey Tecker,
Ich habe meinen Magenballon-Eingriff in Istanbul machen lassen, und meine Erfahrung war insgesamt sehr positiv. Istanbul ist ein bekanntes Zentrum für Medizintourismus, und die Kliniken dort sind sehr modern und professionell ausgestattet. Die Klinik, die ich in Istanbul gewählt habe, hatte ein äußerst kompetentes Team, das mich sowohl vor als auch nach dem Eingriff hervorragend betreut hat.
Einer der Hauptgründe, warum ich mich für die Türkei, speziell Istanbul, entschieden habe, war der deutlich günstigere Preis im Vergleich zu meinem Heimatland, sogar inklusive Reisekosten. In Istanbul gibt es viele renommierte Kliniken, weshalb es wichtig ist, im Vorfeld gut zu recherchieren und sicherzustellen, dass die Klinik gute Bewertungen hat und akkreditiert ist.
Wenn du darüber nachdenkst, den Magenballon in der Türkei, insbesondere in Istanbul, machen zu lassen, würde ich es definitiv empfehlen. Achte aber darauf, dass du auch nach deiner Rückkehr eine gute Nachsorge organisiert hast.

Hi Herman, I had my gastric balloon procedure done in Turkey, specifically in Antalya and it was a great experience overall. Antalya is a popular destination for medical tourism, and I found the clinics there to be modern, with highly professional staff. The clinic I chose in Antalya had a well-experienced team, and they provided excellent care before, during, and after the procedure.
