Bariatric Surgery in Turkey for UK Patients. A Permanent Solution to Weight.
Trusted Obesity Surgery in Turkey. Organised from the UK.
For many people living with obesity, surgery is not a last resort. It is a medically evidenced, long-term solution that diet and exercise alone cannot replicate. The NHS waiting list for bariatric surgery in the UK now extends to several years in most areas. Private costs in the UK range from £8,000 to £15,000 depending on procedure.
Gee Bariatric connects UK patients with specialist bariatric surgeons in Turkey. We coordinate everything from your initial assessment and pre-operative workup to your travel, procedure, and long-term aftercare. You are supported before, during, and after surgery — not just for the week you are in Turkey.

Procedures We Arrange
Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
The most commonly performed bariatric procedure globally. Approximately 75–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow sleeve. Hunger hormone production is significantly reduced. Average excess weight loss of 60–70% over 18 months. From £3,000, compared to £8,000–12,000 in the UK.
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)
The gold-standard procedure for patients with Type 2 diabetes or significant comorbidities. The stomach is divided and the small intestine rerouted to create a small pouch. Produces both restrictive and metabolic effects. Highly effective for long-term remission of obesity-related conditions. From £4,000, compared to £10,000–15,000 in the UK.
Mini Gastric Bypass
A single-loop bypass with a simpler anatomical configuration than Roux-en-Y. Shorter operating time, comparable outcomes for appropriate candidates. From £3,500, compared to £9,000–14,000 in the UK.
Revision Surgery
For patients who have had a previous bariatric procedure and require surgical revision due to weight regain, insufficient loss, or anatomical complications. Assessed on a case-by-case basis.
How It Works
1. Initial Assessment
Submit a health questionnaire and any relevant medical history. We assess your suitability for surgery and discuss which procedure is most appropriate for your case. No obligation.
2. Pre-Operative Workup
We coordinate blood tests and any required specialist investigations in the UK before you travel. Your results are reviewed by your surgeon prior to your procedure date being confirmed.
3. Travel and Logistics
We arrange airport transfers and accommodation at a partner hotel adjacent to or near the clinic. You arrive with everything organised.
4. Surgery and In-Clinic Recovery
Your procedure takes place at a fully equipped bariatric centre with specialist surgical and anaesthetic teams. Most patients stay 3–5 days post-operatively before travelling home.
5. Structured Aftercare
A dietitian-led aftercare programme begins the week you return home. Scheduled follow-up consultations at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Your UK coordinator is available throughout.
What Our Patients Say
“I was on the NHS waiting list for three years with no clear end in sight. Gee Bariatric handled every aspect of the process professionally and honestly. Fourteen months on, I have lost over seven stone. It has changed my life.”
Karen, Birmingham — Gastric Sleeve
“I had Type 2 diabetes and was on medication for hypertension. My GP supported me going abroad for bypass surgery. Gee Bariatric made the process as thorough as anything the NHS would have done. I came off my diabetes medication within four months.”
Stephen, Manchester — Gastric Bypass
“The aftercare has been just as important as the surgery itself. The dietitian support and regular check-ins kept me on track when things were difficult. I would not have managed as well without that ongoing structure.”
Julie, Cardiff — Gastric Sleeve

Is Bariatric Surgery in Turkey Safe?
Turkey is one of the most experienced countries in the world for bariatric surgery. The volume of procedures performed annually gives Turkish surgeons a depth of clinical experience that is difficult to match in the UK private sector.
Safety in bariatric surgery depends on patient selection, surgical technique, and the quality of post-operative care. At Gee Bariatric, we do not bypass any of these steps. Every patient undergoes pre-operative assessment. Every surgeon is a bariatric specialist. Every patient has a structured aftercare programme.
We do not offer surgery to patients who are not clinically appropriate for it.

The first step is a straightforward assessment. Tell us about your health history and what you are hoping to achieve. We will give you an honest answer about whether surgery is appropriate for you, and what the process would involve.
