Best gastric sleeve package Turkey

What a gastric sleeve package is

A gastric sleeve — sleeve gastrectomy — is laparoscopic surgery that turns the stomach into a narrow tube, so you feel full on less food. Most of the fundus is removed; the rest stays in one line. It is not a gastric bypass with a new join to the bowel, not a balloon that is later taken out, not endoscopic stitching (ESG), and not a diet you buy as a weekend. How much of the stomach is stapled belongs on the written plan, not in a slogan. Weight loss still depends on what you drink, chew and attend after you fly; a target kilogram is not sold at a fixed fee.

Just Clinic Istanbul coordinates this as the best all-inclusive sleeve stay we offer for that operation: the sitting named after assessment, hospital nights on the ward, hotel around the first swallow checks, transfers, and an English-speaking coordinator. Who operates, and which hospital has the intensive-care cover named on the paper, belongs there — not in an advert.

Who this package is for

Surgeons usually consider adults whose BMI and medical history meet a bariatric threshold after blood tests and a surgical review — often when diet and tablets have not been enough — who can commit to vitamins and follow-up for years, and who accept that the stomach cannot be put back. Severe reflux, a previous gastric operation, or a need for more malabsorption can point to bypass instead. If you only need a temporary balloon, that is a different sitting. If the plan is stitches from inside the stomach with no staple line, ESG is the conversation.

The date is often postponed if an untreated ulcer, a clotting risk or a heart or lung finding makes theatre less safe, or if you cannot pause smoking when asked. Send height, weight, medicines and any recent endoscopy if you have one. Suitability is confirmed in Istanbul before anyone staples. A bypass conversion on the table, a balloon “while we are there”, or a hair transplant in the same week is not assumed.

What the all-inclusive stay covers

The EUR figure on this page is one coordinated stay for a laparoscopic sleeve as planned after assessment — not a menu you assemble at the desk. Your written plan lists that operation, the pre-operative examination and the blood tests named on the paper, general anaesthetic, hospital nights on the ward (typically two, sometimes more if the team keeps you in), hotel nights with breakfast for the nights we book around the remaining checks, private transfers between the airport, hotel and hospital, and an English-speaking coordinator.

Hotel nights are hotel nights after discharge, not a second ward stay. The coordinator stays the same person who wrote back to your first message.

What sits outside this figure

Flights to and from Istanbul are extra unless a contract says otherwise. Extra nights you add yourself, a companion’s room, travel insurance, a gastric bypass instead of a sleeve, a balloon, ESG, a later conversion, extra imaging not named, and a second operation sit outside this figure unless they are named on the paper. Stapling so far that the team would rather stop is refused if the anatomy does not allow a safe tube; that is a clinical limit, not an upsell.

Theatre, anaesthetic and nights in Istanbul

Plan a long week in the city — typically seven days — covering the in-person assessment, the operation, hospital nights, a swallow or staple-line check before you leave the ward, hotel nights for the first sips and clearance to fly. Four advertising hospital nights are not our medical rule, and flying on day three is not a target. An extra night if the team asks is better than an early flight. Five to seven days belong to a dental crown stay, not this one.

Theatre is under general anaesthetic and usually lasts about one to two hours. It is a hospital admission, not a clinic chair. Discharge is signed after the team is happy with the staple line and you can keep fluids down — it is not an advertising clock.

Recovery after you fly home

The first weeks are liquids, then purée, then soft food as written — not a restaurant menu because the sleeve is new. Walk as soon as you are asked; that is for clots, not for sport. Desk work is often possible after about a week if the surgeon agrees. Gym, fizzy drinks and large meals wait for the timetable on your discharge note. Vitamins are not optional. Dumping after sweet drinks can happen; it is a lesson, not a second package. Weight change is fastest in the first months and still individual; loose skin later is a different quote.

Red flags after you return — spreading pain, a temperature that persists, vomiting you cannot stop, black stool, breathlessness, or a wound that opens — mean a local clinician or A&E first, then your coordinator. Take the discharge note with you.
