Turkey may change the cost and travel plan. It does not change the standards you should expect.

Weight-loss surgery is major treatment for a chronic health condition. The country, hotel or package price should never be the only reason to choose it. Your decision should begin with suitability, a named surgeon, the hospital pathway, complication planning and care after you return to the UK.

Florya Obesity Center focuses only on obesity care. Dr Kenan Afilitak reviews surgical suitability, while the international patient team coordinates English communication, accommodation and Istanbul transfers.

02Treatment choices

Compare the purpose, permanence and long-term commitment.

01 · Laparoscopic bariatric surgery

Gastric Sleeve

Sleeve gastrectomy reduces the size of the stomach and can change appetite signals. It is a major, irreversible operation—not a shortcut—and works best as part of long-term clinical, nutritional and behavioural care.

02 · Metabolic and bariatric surgery

Gastric Bypass

A gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and connects it to a lower section of the small intestine. It can be effective for weight and metabolic health, but it also requires permanent nutritional monitoring.

03 · Temporary endoscopic treatment

Gastric Balloon

A gastric balloon occupies space in the stomach for a limited period and may help with portion control. The procedure avoids abdominal incisions, but still needs clinical selection, preparation and a plan for maintaining progress after removal.

04 · Non-surgical obesity care

Medical Weight Management

Obesity is a chronic, relapsing health condition. A medical programme looks beyond willpower, helping you understand the biological, behavioural and environmental factors that affect weight.
