Gastric Bypass Cost in Turkey
What does gastric bypass cost in Turkey — and why do UK patients save up to £10,000? The honest answer: from £2,800 for the package, confirmed in a written quote, with your hotel nights shown separately. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine — restricting portions AND reducing calorie absorption. Patients typically lose 70–80% of excess weight within 18–24 months, and type 2 diabetes often goes into remission, frequently within weeks of surgery.

LIFELONG AFTERCARE
A 5-year programme, not a goodbye at the airport
📱 Structured remote follow-up. Video check-ins at 2 and 6 weeks, then 3, 6 and 12 months — and a 24/7 WhatsApp line answered within hours.
🇬🇧 UK follow-up clinics, twice a year. Your surgeon sees former patients in person on twice-yearly UK visits — cities and dates rotate and are announced ahead of time, so follow-up never requires a flight back to Turkey.
💊 Lifelong supplementation. Bypass reduces absorption by design, so daily multivitamin, B12, iron, calcium and vitamin D are non-negotiable — we hand you the exact protocol.
📈 Patients who follow our 5-year aftercare programme typically maintain 60–70% of their initial weight loss long-term — aftercare isn’t an extra, it’s the other half of the operation.

GASTRIC BYPASS FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is gastric bypass safe in Turkey?
Safety follows the team: a Temos-accredited hospital, IFSO-member surgeons and 17,500+ collective procedures — see the NHS overview of weight loss surgery for the general risks. Major complications needing another operation are uncommon, and your surgeon explains your personal risk before you book.
How much weight will I lose?
Typically 70–80% of excess weight within 18–24 months — a patient 50kg above their ideal weight can expect to lose 35–40kg. Long-term, patients following our 5-year programme maintain 60–70% of that loss.
Does bypass really put type 2 diabetes into remission?
For many patients, yes — often within days or weeks, before major weight loss, because rerouting the intestine changes the hormones that control blood sugar. Many leave hospital already reducing medication under medical guidance.
Can bypass fix a failed sleeve or band?
Yes — bypass is the standard revisional operation after a sleeve, band or previous bypass that hasn’t delivered. Revision cases are assessed individually by our surgeons.
How long am I in Antalya?
6–7 nights: two pre-op days, 2–3 hospital nights, then hotel recovery until your final check around day 7, when you’re cleared to fly.
When can I return to work?
Desk work in 10–14 days, light physical work 3–4 weeks, heavy manual labour 6–8 weeks. Walking from day one; light cardio from week 3–4 with your surgeon’s OK.
Will I have loose skin?
Very possibly — 70–80% excess weight loss is dramatic. Many patients later plan body contouring (tummy tuck, arm or thigh lift) with our plastic surgery team: one clinic, one continuous journey.
How do I secure a surgery date?
After your assessment and written quote, a deposit on our secure deposit page reserves your surgeon and date — deducted in full from your total.
Is the hotel included in the price?
No. Hotel nights are not part of the package. Your package covers surgery, your hospital nights, tests, medications, VIP transfers and aftercare; your recommended recovery nights at our partner 5-star hotel are quoted alongside your written offer.
Why is gastric bypass cheaper in Turkey than in the UK?
Lower staff and hospital running costs and a favourable exchange rate — not lower standards. Your operation takes place at Anatolia Hospital in Antalya, one of NewMe’s contracted institutions, accredited by Temos for Quality in Medical Care, performed by IFSO-member bariatric surgeons.
