What premium bariatric care means to us

You are not buying a procedure. You are choosing a surgical programme.

A gastric sleeve may take a relatively short time in theatre, but safe and responsible care starts before surgery and continues after you return to the UK. Our programme is designed for patients who value transparency, medical standards and access to the team responsible for their care.

✓
No call-centre handoverCommunication stays within the surgical care pathway.
✓
Comprehensive pre-op checksBloods, ECG, abdominal ultrasound, chest X-ray and specialist consultations as clinically appropriate.
✓
Hospital-based recoveryYour package includes a private hospital stay rather than a rapid hotel discharge model.
✓
Lifetime dietitian supportSpecialist bariatric nutrition follow-up remains available long term.
✓
Direct surgeon accessPatients receive a direct communication pathway for post-operative questions.
Why we are not positioned as the cheapest option

Price matters. What sits behind the price matters more.

Turkey has a wide range of bariatric surgery offers. We deliberately compete on the standard of the programme rather than on being the lowest-price provider.

01

Accredited surgical experience

Independent accreditation and extensive bariatric case experience are central to how we present our programme.

02

Higher-standard hospital care

Your treatment takes place in a full hospital environment with pre-operative medical assessment and post-operative monitoring.

03

Aftercare that continues

The relationship does not end when you board your flight home. Lifetime dietitian support and direct medical contact are part of the programme.

Questions UK patients commonly ask

Before you make a decision.

Why is your package more expensive than some gastric sleeve offers in Turkey?+

We do not position the programme as the lowest-cost option. The price reflects the surgical team, private hospital pathway, pre-operative assessment, inpatient recovery, lifetime specialist dietitian support and long-term direct medical communication included in the care model.

What is included in the from £2,800 package?+

The standard programme includes gastric sleeve surgery and anaesthesia, four nights in a private hospital room, one companion, standard pre-operative investigations and specialist consultations, airport–hospital–airport transfers, international patient support, lifetime specialist dietitian follow-up and direct post-operative medical communication. Your final written package is confirmed after assessment.

How do I know whether I am eligible for surgery?+

Eligibility is not decided by BMI alone. Your age, weight history, medical conditions, medications, previous operations and overall surgical risk are considered. The form above starts an initial assessment; final suitability requires medical review.

How long will I stay in hospital?+

The standard package includes four hospital nights, typically one night before surgery and three nights after surgery, subject to your individual clinical plan.

Can I travel with someone?+

Yes. The standard package includes hospital accommodation and meals for one companion.

What happens after I return to the UK?+

You continue to have access to specialist dietitian follow-up and the team's direct communication pathway. For urgent or emergency symptoms in the UK, you should seek appropriate local medical care without delay and contact the surgical team as appropriate.

Are prescription medicines included?+

No. Post-discharge prescription medicines are not included and are typically around £110–£130.

Do I pay before I know whether I am suitable?+

No. The first step is an eligibility and medical review. Booking and payment arrangements are discussed only after the team has enough information to plan your treatment appropriately.

Choose the programme, the surgeon and the aftercare — not just the price.

Start with a private eligibility check. There is no booking commitment and you can ask the team anything before deciding.
