Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey

Gastric Bypass Surgery also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass — is one of the most established and effective procedures for individuals struggling with obesity and related health conditions. This combination surgery reduces both food intake and calorie absorption by dividing the stomach into a small upper pouch and rerouting a section of the small intestine, significantly decreasing how much food the body can hold and absorb. Unlike sleeve gastrectomy, the remaining stomach is preserved.

Performed with minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, the procedure typically lasts around two hours. Patients are encouraged to stand and walk within four hours post-op, followed by a 3-day hospital stay for observation. Before discharge, patients receive personalised nutritional guidance and medical support to help them adjust and thrive post-surgery.

Over the course of 12 to 18 months, patients typically lose 70% to 80% of their excess weight and experience dramatic improvements in obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and joint pain. This transformation not only boosts health but restores self-esteem and energy for everyday life.

At Clinic Phaselis, we perform gastric bypass surgery in Antalya, Turkey, within internationally accredited hospitals using the latest technologies. With board-certified bariatric surgeons and a multilingual care team, we prioritise your safety, satisfaction, and lifelong results — under our commitment to medical excellence and zero complications.

FAQ

You may be eligible if your BMI is 35 or higher, especially if you have conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. Patients with a BMI of 30–34.9 may also qualify if they have weight-related health problems. A medical consultation is required to confirm suitability.

This procedure leads to significant long-term weight loss while helping resolve obesity-related conditions like diabetes, sleep apnea, and high cholesterol. It also helps reduce appetite and food intake, resulting in lasting lifestyle changes and improved psychological well-being.

On average, patients lose 75% to 80% of their excess weight within the first 12 to 18 months. While a small weight regain (10–15%) is possible over time, most patients maintain long-term results with proper diet and follow-up support.

Like all surgeries, there are risks such as bleeding, leakage, and embolism. At Clinic Phaselis, we take every precaution — from blood-thinning injections to anti-embolism socks and post-operative monitoring — to minimize complications. Choosing an experienced team significantly lowers risks.

Unlike sleeve gastrectomy, the stomach is not removed during gastric bypass. Instead, it’s divided and rerouted to bypass part of the small intestine, reducing nutrient absorption and appetite. This makes gastric bypass more suitable for patients with certain metabolic conditions.

What Our Patients Say

Gastric Sleeve

The whole experience from start to finish has been amazing. I am now 3 weeks PO from a gastric sleeve and there isn’t a stage that I haven’t been met with the utmost care and reassuring advice! From the initial enquiry, pre flight, arrival and throughout my surgery and stay, even now after I am home, the whole thing has been such a great service! Transfers were brilliant. The hospital and all of the people involved in care from start to finish were so kind and efficient. The hotel is beautiful and such a lovely place to recover.
