The following weight loss surgeries are available to Lotus Bariatrics patients:

Gastric ballooning
During the operation, doctors install a special balloon for patients, which remains in their stomach for 6-12 months. Depending on patient´s initial weight, patient can lose 10-20 kg.

Sleeve gastrectomy
Thanks to sleeve resection, the patient needs less food to feel complete. This is due to a decrease in stomach volume by approximately 80% and a decrease in ghrelin levels. This hormone is responsible for the feeling of hunger; the upper part of the stomach produces it. The final result of the operation is visible after 6 months.

Gastric bypass and revision surgery
After the procedure, patients' food flow changes, passing only through half of the small intestine.

After bariatric surgery, approximately 20% of patients may regain weight. Clinic doctors perform revision surgical interventions on them.

The Lotus Bariatrics team of doctors has a psychologist who motivates patients to follow a diet and correct their eating habits.

I’m from California in the United States and I had my gastric sleeve done 7 months ago and have lost 62 pounds. My experience there was exceptional. The doctor was not only professional with excellent surgical Skills but was empathetic and so kind as well. My hospital care was also excellent and I’m an RN so I was judging! I was so impressed with all my care and am so very happy that I made the decision to come there for my surgery. It has truly changed my life for the better since I’ve gotten my health and energy back after losing all the extra weight. If you’re having doubts...don’t. Just schedule the surgery and do it. You won’t be sorry.

Hi I would firstly like to thank my surgeon DR Kaplan and his team for changing my life and giving me the opportunity to loose 40 + Kg. The surgeon knows what he is doing and is the best in this field. I have had no problems since the surgeon (gastric sleeve). I had it done in Turkey in December 2019. The hospital was clean and staff were very helpful. My dietician still contacts me and gives me advice when needed. I couldn't fault them they are just amazing 🤗👌 I always tell people about their service because I feel they can be trusted and do the job with 100% compassion and give you the answers to any questions you may have. The consultation are detailed and the tests are done efficiently and effectively. Thank you once more 🤲🤗 Rummana Saleem

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first went , but I can honestly say it's been a game-changer for my health. For years, I tried fad diets and exercise routines that never seemed to stick. They focused on creating a sustainable lifestyle change, not just a quick fix.

With the gastric balloon procedure, I lost 15 kilos and got close to my previous condition. Of course, don't expect a miracle, but you can see the benefits by supporting it with diet and exercise. First, it reduces your appetite and provides significant motivation to lose weight. The procedure is quite easy and quick. My research before the procedure revealed that people who had the procedure at various locations complained of severe nausea and vomiting in the first few days, and even some wanted to remove the balloon. Aside from mild nausea, I didn't experience any significant problems. I received dietitian support for over a year after the procedure. Unlike traditional dietitians, they implement a variable, interactive diet plan throughout the process. The dietitian contacts you periodically, even if you don't request it. This not only increases your motivation to diet but also helps prevent you from becoming bored and giving up on the diet by offering different diet options.
