Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, has helped thousands of people achieve lasting weight loss and improve their overall health. Turkey has become a popular destination for these procedures, offering experienced surgeons, modern facilities, and affordable pricing.

The most common weight loss procedures include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric band, and gastric balloon. Each procedure works differently and is suited to different patients based on their health profile, weight loss goals, and medical history.

Gastric bypass involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, reducing food intake and nutrient absorption. Sleeve gastrectomy removes a large portion of the stomach, leaving a banana-shaped sleeve that limits food intake.

Weight loss surgery requires comprehensive pre and post-operative care. This includes nutritional counseling, psychological support, and long-term follow-up to ensure successful weight loss and maintenance of results. Our program at MEDICTE includes all these components.

On average, patients lose 60-80% of their excess weight within 12-18 months after surgery. The results vary by individual and procedure type, and our medical team provides personalized expectations based on each patient's specific case.

The cost of weight loss surgery in Turkey is significantly lower than in Canada, often saving patients 50-70% on the total cost. This includes the procedure, hospital stay, accommodation, and comprehensive aftercare support. The quality of care and surgical outcomes are comparable to or exceed what you would receive in Canada.

Recovery time varies by procedure, but most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks. Full recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks. We provide detailed recovery guidelines and support throughout your healing process, ensuring you have the resources and guidance needed for a successful recovery.
