How are we doing?
About the clinic
Gastric sleeve surgery at Optimed International Hospital in Tekirdag, Turkey, helps patients achieve weight loss by surgically reducing stomach volume. This bariatric procedure is performed in a facility accredited by the American Accreditation Commission International (AACI). The hospital provides a structured medical environment for international patients looking for sustainable weight management solutions.
Candidacy for Sleeve Gastrectomy
Doctors at the hospital follow specific health criteria to determine if a patient is ready for surgery. Candidates typically have a BMI of 40 or higher. Individuals with a BMI over 35 may also qualify if they suffer from obesity-related conditions like diabetes or sleep apnea. The procedure is generally for adults aged 18 to 65 who have struggled with obesity for over 5 years. Patients must be ready to commit to long-term lifestyle changes and dietary adjustments after the operation.
Preparation and Hospital Features
The diagnostic phase at Optimed International Hospital is efficient and often completed in one day. The facility uses high-tesla MRI and multi-slice CT scans for precise imaging. Before the surgery, patients undergo a full anesthesia assessment and must fast for at least 6 to 8 hours. The hospital belongs to the Optimed Health Group and offers private Smart Suites for recovery. These rooms are designed for patient comfort during the initial healing phase.
Recovery and Weight Loss Results
The surgery works by removing a large portion of the stomach. This change makes patients feel full while eating much smaller portions of food. Some food also passes through the system without being fully absorbed, which aids the weight loss process. Post-operative care at the clinic includes pain management, wound care, and specific dietary counseling. The medical team provides follow-up appointments and referrals to help patients maintain their progress.
Services for International Patients
The hospital operates a dedicated international patient department to help those traveling from abroad. This team provides multilingual support to help with communication throughout the stay. The service package includes VIP airport transfers to make the trip to Tekirdag smoother. Patients stay in modern accommodation while receiving care that meets international safety standards. If you are considering this procedure, you can request a consultation through Bookimed to learn more about the process.
