Medipol Acibadem District Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provides comprehensive obesity treatment with a wide range of surgical and non-surgical options. The cost for a gastric balloon is around $3,500, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy typically runs $3,000–$5,000, and the endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) procedure costs about $8,000. This variety is overseen by Prof. Cemalettin Aydın, a Professor of General Surgery with 36 years of specialized experience in bariatric procedures.

Available Treatment Methods

The clinic offers a full spectrum of bariatric care. A detailed diagnostic assessment is always the first step. This package includes:

• Doctor examination and nutritional evaluation
• Comprehensive blood tests and Doppler ultrasound
• Endoscopy assessment to plan the safest approach

Following diagnostics, patients can choose from several advanced treatments.

Surgical Weight Loss Options

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a permanent surgical solution. It removes a portion of the stomach. Patients typically stay in the hospital for 2-4 days. The package includes the surgery, hospital stay, hotel accommodation, and a full year of dietitian follow-up.

Gastric Bypass is another laparoscopic surgery. It creates a small stomach pouch. This option may be suitable for patients with type 2 diabetes. The package covers a 3-4 day hospital stay and follow-up visits.

Non-Surgical & Endoscopic Procedures

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a non-surgical alternative. It uses an endoscopic suturing device to reduce stomach size. Patients are discharged on the same day with minimal downtime.

Gastric Balloons offer a temporary intervention. Options include the Orbera Removable Gastric Balloon and the Allurion Dissolvable Gastric Balloon. These are placed endoscopically without any incisions. No hospitalization is required, making them a low-commitment starting point.

Each treatment plan is developed individually under the guidance of Prof. Aydın. The internationally accredited hospital provides full support for international patients, including airport transfers and accommodation.
