The sleeve turns the stomach into a narrow tube, which limits how much you can eat at one sitting. Just as important, the removed portion produces most of the body's ghrelin — the hormone that drives hunger — so appetite drops sharply in the first months. There is no rerouting of the intestine, so absorption of nutrients stays normal and supplementation is simpler than after a bypass. Typical loss is 60–70% of excess weight within 12–18 months.
Turkey combines high surgical volume with lower running costs, which is why the same materials and devices used in Western Europe cost a fraction here. Swedish Clinic works inside a licensed full-fledged hospital under a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate, holds Temos international accreditation and runs an ISO 9001 (UKAS) certified management system — the three things worth checking before you book anywhere abroad.

One year on and nobody can tell. The hairline they designed suits my face — it does not look transplanted.

I wanted my nose softened, not replaced. The surgeon showed me the simulation and the result is exactly that.

Fourteen months on and I am 38 kilos lighter. The dietitian called me every single month — that made the difference.

Everyone was so smiley and welcoming from the moment I landed. Istanbul is beautiful and the service was first class.

No — the removed part of the stomach cannot be put back. It can, however, be converted to a bypass later if reflux becomes a problem.
