Why Choose Turkey for Your Obesity Surgery?
Making the decision to undergo obesity surgery is a significant step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. As this life-changing field of medicine advances, Turkey has firmly established itself as a global center of excellence for bariatric procedures. Thousands of international patients each year choose Turkey for its unique combination of highly experienced surgeons, technologically advanced hospitals, and unparalleled affordability. At Fibohealth, we are your dedicated partner, ensuring your journey is seamless, safe, and successful from your first consultation to your post-operative recovery and beyond.
The Turkish Advantage: Quality, Affordability, and Expertise
The reasons behind Turkey's rise as a premier medical tourism destination are clear. Patients receive world-class treatment without the exorbitant costs or long waiting lists common in other Western countries. This is not about compromising on quality; it's about accessing superior value.
- World-Class Medical Professionals: Turkish bariatric surgeons are renowned for their extensive training at top national and international institutions. They possess board certifications and have performed thousands of successful procedures, making them some of the most experienced specialists in the world. Their expertise ensures the highest standards of surgical care and patient safety.
- State-of-the-Art Facilities: Fibohealth partners exclusively with internationally accredited hospitals (including JCI accreditation), which are equipped with the latest surgical technology. From advanced laparoscopic instruments to modern intensive care units, these facilities rival and often surpass the best hospitals in Europe and North America.
- Significant Cost Savings: One of the most compelling reasons to choose Turkey is the remarkable cost advantage. The lower cost of living and operational expenses in Turkey allow hospitals to offer bariatric surgery packages at prices 50-70% lower than in the UK, US, or Canada. This affordability makes transformative surgery accessible to more people.
- A Unique Travel Experience: Your medical journey doesn't have to be clinical and stressful. Recovering in a country known for its warm hospitality, rich history, and beautiful landscapes can have a positive impact on your psychological well-being. Fibohealth ensures your comfort and relaxation are prioritized throughout your stay.
Our Obesity Surgery Services at Fibohealth
We understand that every patient's body and weight loss goals are unique. That's why we offer a comprehensive range of bariatric procedures performed by leading surgeons, ensuring you receive the treatment that is perfectly suited to your specific health needs.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Also known as a gastric sleeve, this is one of the most popular weight loss surgeries worldwide. During the procedure, the surgeon removes approximately 80% of the stomach, leaving behind a small, banana-shaped "sleeve." This significantly restricts the amount of food you can eat and reduces the production of ghrelin, the hormone that stimulates hunger. It is an excellent option for individuals with a high BMI seeking a highly effective yet less complex procedure than a gastric bypass.
Gastric Bypass
Considered the "gold standard" in weight loss surgery, the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting a section of the small intestine to this pouch. This dual-action approach restricts food intake and decreases the absorption of calories and nutrients. It is particularly effective for patients with severe obesity, type 2 diabetes, and acid reflux, offering substantial and long-lasting weight loss.
Mini Gastric Bypass
The Mini Gastric Bypass is a simpler, less invasive, and quicker alternative to the traditional gastric bypass. It involves creating a longer stomach pouch and connecting it to the small intestine, bypassing a significant portion. Ideal candidates are those seeking the powerful results of a bypass with a slightly lower risk profile and shorter operating time. It delivers excellent results in terms of weight loss and the resolution of obesity-related health conditions.
Duodenal Switch
The Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS) is a complex and powerful procedure reserved for individuals with a very high BMI (typically 50 or above). It combines a sleeve gastrectomy with a long intestinal bypass, leading to the highest potential for weight loss. It is the most effective surgery for resolving type 2 diabetes and other metabolic conditions, making it a truly transformative option for the right candidate.
Metabolic Surgery
Metabolic surgery refers to bariatric procedures, like the gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, performed with the primary goal of treating metabolic diseases, especially type 2 diabetes. By altering the anatomy of the stomach and intestines, these surgeries trigger hormonal changes that can lead to the remission or significant improvement of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, often even before substantial weight loss occurs.
