Why Istanbul for Obesity & Bariatric Surgery?
Istanbul has become one of the world's leading destinations for obesity & bariatric surgery. With over 50 JCI-accredited hospitals, internationally trained surgeons, and all-inclusive packages that include accommodation and transfers, patients from the UK, Germany, and the US consistently save 60–75% compared to home-country prices — without compromising on clinical standards.
Available Obesity & Bariatric Surgery Procedures
At OTEMED | GLOBAL HEALING, our medical board oversees a full spectrum of obesity & bariatric surgery procedures: Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, Gastric Balloon, Mini Gastric Bypass, Bariatric Endoscopy. Each treatment plan is personalised after a detailed pre-operative assessment by our senior clinical team.
Procedure Selection & Medical Board Review
