Bariatric Surgery in Turkey
Advanced weight loss surgery with titanium staplers for maximum safety and fast recovery — by expert surgeons in Istanbul.
Bariatric surgery with GlobMedTrust offers a life-changing solution for patients struggling with obesity. Our partner surgeons use advanced techniques with titanium staplers for maximum safety, precision, and faster recovery.
Procedures Available
Gastric Sleeve
The most popular bariatric procedure. Approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, reducing hunger and caloric intake significantly.

Reroutes the digestive system to reduce absorption. Suitable for patients with higher BMI or metabolic conditions.
Gastric Balloon
A non-surgical option. A silicone balloon is placed in the stomach to reduce capacity temporarily.
Why GlobMedTrust
What Sets Us Apart
GlobMedTrust was born out of our founder's own experience: having travelled abroad for plastic surgery, our founder knows first-hand the challenges that come with it — finding the right surgeon, judging quality from a distance and coordinating every detail from another country. That is exactly what GlobMedTrust is for: we take the guesswork and the complexity off your hands, so you can focus on what matters most — your health and your recovery.
Our partner surgeons are leading bariatric specialists with extensive experience and high success rates. Titanium staplers are used for superior precision and safety.
Your journey includes comprehensive pre-operative assessment, surgery, monitored recovery, nutritional guidance, and long-term follow-up.

Recovery
Usually 2 nights in hospital; your surgeon may add a night if your recovery needs it. Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks. A structured diet plan progresses from liquids to solids over 4–6 weeks. We recommend a stay of 6–7 nights in Istanbul, from your arrival to your departure home.
What bariatric surgery costs
Treatment in Turkey often costs less than in the UK or US.
Your price depends mainly on these factors: which procedure suits you (sleeve, bypass or balloon); the tests you need beforehand; your package and length of stay.
Every package includes the surgery and your hospital stay; Comfort and Imperial Care add the hotel, transfers and full aftercare.
Your price comes down to your health: which procedure suits you, and which tests you need beforehand. In a medical review, our medical team assesses exactly that from your medical history and gives you your personal quote.
