Questions UK patients ask

Before you make a decision

Why is surgery in Istanbul less expensive than UK private care?+

Healthcare costs and private hospital pricing structures differ between countries. A lower package price does not by itself determine the quality of care, which is why we encourage patients to look at the surgeon, hospital, accreditation, package contents and follow-up pathway.

What is included in the from £2,200 package?+

The package presented on this page includes gastric sleeve surgery, the stated hospital stay, airport transfers and ongoing support, with additional items depending on the confirmed package. Flights and treatment outside the agreed package are not included. Ask for your personalised written package before booking.

How do I know if I am suitable for gastric sleeve surgery?+

BMI is one factor. Your medical history, medications, previous operations, previous weight-loss treatment and overall health are reviewed before surgery is approved.

What tests will I need before surgery?+

The exact assessment depends on your history. Pre-operative investigations and specialist consultations may be requested to make surgery as safe and appropriate as possible.

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?+

The package currently shown includes a 4-night hospital stay. Your actual travel plan and medical clearance should always be confirmed with the clinical team.

What happens after I return to the UK?+

Lifetime dietitian support and a direct communication pathway with Dr. Ören are part of the support model described on this page. If a problem is urgent, you should also seek appropriate local emergency or medical care.

Are flights included?+

No. Flights are not included in the package price shown on this landing page.

Can someone travel with me?+

Companion arrangements depend on the hospital room and confirmed package. Ask the team about companion accommodation before booking flights.

What happens if I develop a complication?+

Complications require individual medical assessment. The first priority is appropriate clinical care; if you are in the UK and have an urgent problem after returning home, seek local urgent medical attention and contact the surgical team as appropriate.

Why should I choose Dr. Ören rather than simply choosing the cheapest clinic?+

Price is only one part of the decision. Consider the surgeon's experience, accreditation, hospital environment, what is included, communication before and after surgery, and the long-term follow-up pathway.

Could gastric sleeve be right for you?

Send your height, weight, age and a short medical history. The team can review your information and explain the next step before you make any commitment.
