Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve
(Sleeve Gastrectomy)
The Gastric Sleeve is the most popular choice for patients due to its high success rate and straight forward recovery.
Gastric sleeve surgery is a weight loss procedure that reduces stomach size to help limit food intake.
During surgery, the surgeon removes part of the stomach to create a smaller sleeve. As a result, patients often feel full sooner and eat smaller portions.
In addition, our partner surgeons use keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery to support a smoother recovery.
The Procedure
This surgery uses keyhole techniques.
During the procedure, the surgeon removes around 80% of the stomach and creates a narrow sleeve-shaped stomach.
Therefore, the stomach holds less food after surgery.
How It Works
A smaller stomach may help you feel full more quickly.
In addition, the procedure removes the area that produces most of the hunger hormone (Ghrelin). As a result, many patients notice reduced appetite after surgery.
Expected Results
Weight loss results vary from person to person.
However, many patients lose excess weight during the first year when they follow medical and nutrition guidance.
In addition, this procedure may help improve conditions linked to obesity, including high blood pressure and sleep apnoea.
Recovery
Patients usually stay in hospital for 3–4 days.
After that, many people return to light daily activities within about 2 weeks, depending on their recovery plan.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery
"Gold Standard" of weight loss surgery, the Gastric Bypass is highly recommended for patients with higher BMIs or specific metabolic issues.
This treatment is a weight loss option that reduces stomach size and changes part of the digestive system. As a result, your body absorbs fewer calories and you feel full sooner.
Therefore, gastric bypass may suit patients living with severe obesity or type 2 diabetes. In addition, many patients choose this procedure to support long-term weight loss and improve overall health.
The Procedure
During gastric bypass surgery, the surgeon first creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach. Next, they connect this pouch directly to the small intestine.
As a result, food bypasses most of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine.
How It Works
Gastric bypass works in two main ways.
Restriction: First, the small stomach pouch limits how much food you can eat.
Reduced Absorption: In addition, food travels a shorter digestive path. Therefore, the body absorbs fewer calories.
Health Benefits
In addition to weight loss, gastric bypass may help improve several health conditions.
These include:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Severe acid reflux (GERD)
- Obesity-related health issues
Therefore, many patients choose this surgery for both health improvement and weight control.
Recovery
Recovery is similar to gastric sleeve surgery. However, gastric bypass usually requires long-term vitamin and mineral support.
In addition, regular follow-up appointments and nutrition advice help support healing and long-term results.

Struggling on the NHS Waiting List: My Motivation for Bariatric Surgery
What motivated you to consider medical travel for bariatric surgery?
My health was deteriorating and after years of yoyo dieting I was struggling, I thought if I carried on then I wouldn’t have been here for my children much longer. I could never have afforded the surgery in this country and so I researched abroad.
How easy was it to get in touch with RenovatedMe for an initial consultation?
My initial consultation was professional and friendly and I was completely put at ease. I had previously spoken to different agencies and felt pressured to make a decision, but never got that with renovatedme. I was able to ask any question at anytime and always had an open and honest answer with no pressure at all. Everything was explained clearly and options were given tailored to me and my needs.
What was your experience with the travel arrangements (flight, transfers)?
All aspects of my travel was done for me I just was given times and dates and all I did was turn up. I wanted it that way as didn’t want to have to deal with all the hassle which was just amazing. Transfers to and from hotel, airport and hospital was fantastic, drivers were lovely and helpful and on time and made the journey fun
Did you feel you had enough support in terms of language, directions, and guidance during your stay?
Support during my stay was great, nurses and surgeons very approachable and friendly, I think I had one nurse that was great with English but I used google translate with her and it was absolutely fine! I had support from someone from renovatedme over there and I was extremely lucky to actually have met lldem as she was over there the same time and made the experience more personal.
How did you feel about the medical team’s expertise and care during your surgery?
Medical team were amazing!! They found out that I had diabetes over there which impacted on either I was going to have the surgery or not. They helped stabilise my blood sugars and informed me that if they couldn’t get it under control that I wouldn’t be having in the surgery. I was a little upset about this, but they were putting my health and well being first and I completely understood this and was thankful. There care was outstanding. My sugars lowered and I was able to go ahead as they were happy. I also had my gallbladder removed as was on nhs waiting list for over 4 years to have it removed, so I asked renovated me if they could do that procedure too and it was done at an extra cost. Amazing .
Did you experience any complications or side effects during or after the surgery?
One of my incisions took longer to heal than the rest but apart from that absolutely nothing at all.
How much weight did you lose?
I’m currently 16months post op and I have lost 11st 2lbs.
What kind of improvement did you experience in your health?
I’m no longer Diabetic, I no longer have any blood pressure issues so off all my medications. I am fitter stronger and healthier than ever and happier than I have ever been.
What advice would you give to someone considering bariatric surgery abroad, based on your experience?
That this is last resort,it’s a life long tool that you have to work with. It’s hard it’s not an easy option, but it’s worth while . There a lot of negativity regarding surgery abroad, but if you find the right people and surgeon and right company with support then do it. Do you research speak to real people and don’t let anyone pressure you, decision is hard but it’s yours alone.
Would you consider returning for additional treatments or procedures through RenovatedMe in the future?
Yes I’m planning on plastics this year.

Frequently Asked Questions About Surgery in Turkey
Is gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey safe for UK patients?
Yes, bariatric surgery in Turkey is exceptionally safe when performed in Accredited or TUSKA-certified hospitals. In 2026, Turkey’s safety protocols are world-leading, with mortality and complication rates (leaks/infections) comparable to or lower than private UK clinics. At Renovated Me, we mitigate risk by using internationally board-certified surgeons and providing mandatory 12-month medical complication insurance with every package.
How much does a gastric sleeve cost in Turkey vs. the UK?
In 2026, a gastric sleeve in Turkey typically costs between £2,800 and £4,500 as an all-inclusive package. In comparison, private gastric sleeve surgery in the UK ranges from £10,000 to £15,000. By choosing Turkey, UK patients save approximately 70% while receiving premium VIP care, including 5-star accommodation and private transfers.
Can I skip the NHS waiting list for weight loss surgery?
Absolutely. The current NHS backlog for bariatric surgery can be 3 to 5 years depending on your region. Renovated Me allows you to skip the wait entirely. We can often schedule your virtual consultation within 48 hours and have you booked for surgery in Antalya within 2–4 weeks.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey after surgery?
For both gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, we require a total stay of 4 to 7 days. This includes 2–3 nights of specialized hospital monitoring and 2–4 nights in a recovery hotel. This timeline ensures you receive a “fit-to-fly” certificate and are medically cleared for a safe journey back to the UK
What is the difference between Gastric Sleeve and Gastric Bypass?
- Gastric Sleeve: Removes ~80% of the stomach to limit food intake and reduce the “hunger hormone” (Ghrelin). Best for those looking for a lower-maintenance recovery.
Gastric Bypass: Reroutes the digestive tract to both limit intake and reduce calorie absorption. Often considered the “gold standard” for patients with Type 2 Diabetes or severe acid reflux (GERD)
Does standard travel insurance cover surgery in Turkey?
No. Standard holiday insurance specifically excludes elective surgery and complications arising from it. This is why Renovated Me includes specialist medical tourism insurance in our 2026 packages. This cover handles costs related to unexpected medical needs or revisions, protecting you from any financial risk.
What happens with my aftercare once I return to the UK?
Aftercare is the most critical part of your journey. We provide a 12-month post-op support plan, which includes:
