Laparoscopic gastric sleeve, gastric bypass and non-surgical gastric balloon — performed by board-certified bariatric surgeons with full 12-month nutrition follow-up.
Bariatric surgery is not cosmetic — it is a tool that prevents diabetes, sleep apnoea, joint disease and early mortality. For most patients with BMI over 35, gastric sleeve is the right tool. For BMI over 45 or severe diabetes, bypass. For BMI 28–32 or a non-surgical option, the balloon.
Every patient gets an ethical pre-op assessment. If your BMI is too low, your nutritional health is unstable, or surgery is not in your best interest, we will tell you — and decline. We do not operate for the wrong reasons. Every surgery is laparoscopic, performed by a board-certified bariatric surgeon at a partner hospital with full ICU and 24/7 senior on-call.
Down 43 kg in 14 months after my gastric sleeve. My type-2 diabetes is in full remission. The Istanbul team did not just operate — they handed me to a nutritionist for the long haul. I am healthier at 51 than I was at 31.
From the moment you land to your 12-month nutritionist call back home, every step is planned with you. Lifetime nutritionist access by WhatsApp — because bariatric surgery is the start, not the end.
Every bariatric surgery at Swedish Clinic is laparoscopic — 4–6 small incisions instead of a single long cut. The result is dramatically less pain, faster recovery, lower infection risk and almost no visible scarring. Patients walk the same day and fly home in 5–7 days.

"I had tried every diet for 20 years. Down 43 kg in 14 months after my gastric sleeve. My type-2 diabetes is in full remission. The team did not just operate — they handed me to a nutritionist for the long haul."
"Much more comfortable than I expected. The laparoscopic incisions were tiny, recovery was fast, and the daily nurse visits at the recovery hotel made me feel safe. Eight months later I am 38 kg lighter and full of energy."
"After years of being told to just try harder, I realised I needed surgical help. From the first WhatsApp message to the 6-month nutritionist call, the team made me feel completely safe — and seen."
