Obesity treatment at Medipunto Clinic

Medipunto Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey provides full-service obesity care. It offers endoscopic treatments from around $1,600, surgical procedures like gastric bypass for about $3,100, and comprehensive packages including a sleeve gastrectomy package for around $3,500. The clinic is a recognized Center of Excellence, with lead surgeon Dr. Volkan Tümentemur having performed over 700 weight loss surgeries.

Before treatment, patients undergo diagnostics. This evaluation includes blood tests, a semi check-up, and a gastroscopy. A plastic surgeon examination is also available to discuss body contouring options post-weight loss.

Available Treatment Options

Patients have several methods to choose from:

• Gastric Balloon: A non-surgical, endoscopic procedure. A temporary balloon is placed in the stomach to create a feeling of fullness.
• Gastric Botox: Another non-surgical option. Botulinum toxin is injected into the stomach muscle to slow emptying and reduce appetite. A package typically runs around $1,900 and includes a hospital stay, hotel, and transfers.
• Gastric Band: A laparoscopic adjustable band is placed around the top of the stomach. This restrictive surgery can be adjusted after placement.
• Gastric Bypass: A laparoscopic Roux-en-Y procedure. This combines stomach restriction with reduced nutrient absorption for significant, long-term weight loss.
• Sleeve Gastrectomy: The most popular surgical option. About 70% of the stomach is removed laparoscopically. It is highly effective for substantial weight reduction.

Comprehensive Care Packages

The clinic's surgical packages provide an all-inclusive experience. The sleeve gastrectomy package costs around $3,500. It covers almost everything for the patient's stay and recovery:

• Three nights in the hospital and three nights in a 5-star partner hotel.
• All pre-operative examinations, blood tests, and the gastroscopy.
• The surgery itself with necessary medications.
• VIP airport transfers and a full year of support from a dietitian.

This structured support aims to help achieve reported outcomes like losing 71% of excess weight within one year. To explore these personalized obesity treatment plans, you can contact Medipunto Clinic for a consultation.
