Gastric Sleeve Cost in Turkey
How much does gastric sleeve surgery really cost in Turkey? Here’s the honest, complete answer — one fixed package price confirmed in writing, with your hotel nights shown separately so nothing comes as a surprise. Gastric sleeve permanently removes around 80% of the stomach, leaving a banana-shaped “sleeve” that limits portions and quiets hunger hormones. Most patients lose 60–70% of their excess weight within 18–24 months, with obesity-related conditions improving dramatically along the way.

Before you travel
Video consultation, medical history review and a pre-op preparation plan (some patients follow a short pre-op diet). Your coordinator books everything.
Days 1–2 — Arrival & tests
VIP transfer, hospital admission, full pre-op work-up: blood panel, ECG, X-ray, ultrasound, anaesthesia and surgeon consultations.

Days 3–5 — Hospital recovery
Liquid intake begins under supervision; your team monitors you around the clock until you’re confidently mobile and comfortable.
Days 6–7 — Discharge & fly home
Final checks, fit-to-fly clearance, your GP-ready surgical report — and a detailed nutrition plan for the weeks ahead.

GASTRIC SLEEVE FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is gastric sleeve surgery safe in Turkey?
Safety follows the hospital and the surgeon, not the country. Your operation takes place in a Temos-accredited international hospital, performed by IFSO-member surgeons with 17,500+ collective procedures — see the NHS overview of weight loss surgery for the general risks. Staple-line leak, the sleeve’s specific risk, occurs in under 1% of cases with experienced teams.
How much weight will I lose?
Most patients lose 60–70% of their excess weight within 18–24 months. If you’re 50kg above your ideal weight, that’s typically 30–35kg. Your trajectory depends on following the nutrition plan — which is exactly what our lifelong aftercare supports.
What BMI do I need?
Generally BMI 30 or above — more flexible than NHS thresholds (usually 35+ with obesity-related conditions, or 40+). Close to the line? Send your details anyway; assessment is free and honest.
When can I return to work?
Desk work in about 2 weeks; physical jobs 4–6 weeks. We provide a sick note for your employer if needed.
Will I have loose skin?
Possibly — it depends on age, skin elasticity and how much you lose. Many patients later choose body contouring (tummy tuck, arm or thigh lift); as a combined clinic we plan that journey with the same team.
What if I have a problem after returning to the UK?
Our medical team is on WhatsApp 24/7 and coordinates with your care at home; for anything urgent you’d attend your local A&E as with any post-surgical concern. Video follow-ups at 2 and 6 weeks and 3, 6 and 12 months keep us close through the whole first year.
How do I secure a surgery date?
After your free assessment and written quote, a deposit on our secure deposit page locks your surgeon and date — deducted in full from your total.
How much does gastric sleeve surgery cost in Turkey?
At NewMe, gastric sleeve surgery costs from £2,300. The package covers surgery by IFSO-member surgeons, your hospital stay, pre-op tests, medications, VIP transfers and lifelong aftercare. Hotel nights and flights are booked separately. Your final price is confirmed in a written quote after your free assessment.
Is the hotel included in the price?
No. Hotel nights are not part of the package. We quote your recommended recovery nights at our partner 5-star hotel alongside your written offer, and VIP transfers between the airport, hotel and hospital are included.
Why is gastric sleeve surgery 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.
