Obesity Treatment in Private Medifema Hospital
About the clinic
Obesity care at Private Medifema Hospital in Torbalı, Izmir, Turkey includes medical assessment, weight-loss procedures, and body-contouring surgery. Gastric sleeve is the hospital’s most common bariatric operation and is offered laparoscopically or robotically.
Assessment includes BMI and endoscopy
A dietitian can provide nutrition and diet advice. The pre-operative workup may include:
- Body mass index (BMI) analysis
- Endoscopy and gastroscopy
- Hormone analysis
- Multidisciplinary pre-operative evaluation
Weight-loss procedures at Medifema
- Gastric sleeve. Surgeons remove about 75–80% of the stomach through small incisions. The operation is fully laparoscopic, with a robotic option. The removed section produces ghrelin, a hormone linked to appetite. The clinic reports that patients lose about 70–80% of excess weight during the first year. It also reports that obesity-related diseases resolve in 60–95% of patients.
- Gastric bypass. The procedure reduces the stomach and takes about 80% of it out of the digestive path. It uses no implanted foreign material and may help with metabolic disorders. The clinic describes weight loss of 40–100 kg, or about 50–60% when patients follow their doctor’s instructions.
- Gastric balloon. An endoscope places a water-filled balloon in the stomach. It stays there for up to one year and may help patients feel full sooner. With diet and exercise, the clinic reports 10–30% weight loss.
- Stomach Botox. During endoscopy, botulinum toxin is injected into the stomach wall. It limits muscle contraction, slows stomach emptying, and may reduce appetite.
- Duodenal switch and biliopancreatic diversion. Both are offered as alternative bariatric surgery methods.
- Revision bariatric surgery. This reoperation can correct issues after a previous obesity operation.
Body-contouring surgery after weight loss
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). Full and mini procedures remove excess abdominal skin.
- Liposuction. The procedure removes deep and surface fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, and arms.
The hospital has 5 operating rooms, 31 adult intensive care beds, and 32 guesthouse beds for longer recovery. International packages include VIP transfers and personal assistance. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss which options may fit their needs.
