Board-certified bariatric surgeons, transparent all-inclusive quotes, and honest screening — gastric sleeve, bypass and balloon, supported from first message to full recovery.
For someone living with obesity, weight-loss surgery can genuinely change the course of a life. It is also real surgery, and which operation fits you comes down to your health, your history and what you actually want out of it. That is why a qualified surgeon at SaluVista looks at your particular situation and talks you through the options honestly. The final medical call is always made by a person. Our screening only ever routes or flags; it never decides.

We screen first. If surgery isn't right for you, we'll tell you plainly.
Structured follow-up and nutritional guidance continue after you fly home.
This is a serious, life-changing step, and the honest first move is an assessment rather than a booking. Most surgeons start considering it from around a BMI of 35–40, and sometimes lower when a weight-related condition like type 2 diabetes is in the picture. Even then, eligibility is confirmed by a qualified surgeon after screening, not before. And if surgery turns out not to be the right answer for you, a responsible provider says so plainly.
There's no single "best" operation. The gastric sleeve works well for a lot of first-time patients. A gastric bypass can make more sense at a higher BMI, or where reflux is a real problem. The gastric balloon is temporary and non-surgical. Which one your surgeon recommends comes down to your health and your goals, and our which-procedure guide walks through the trade-offs.
In experienced, accredited centres bariatric surgery is generally safe, but no operation is ever risk-free. What keeps the risk low is the unglamorous part: careful screening, a surgeon who has done this many times over, and structured aftercare. At SaluVista, weight-loss surgery is led by Op. Dr. Osman A., who has completed over 6,000 obesity-related procedures. You speak with your surgeon before you commit to anything.
Most patients spend around 4–5 days in Turkey, depending on the procedure, ease back into light activity within one to two weeks, and follow a staged diet while they heal. The operation itself is a powerful tool, but it isn't a magic switch. The lasting results come from what follows it: the everyday habits around nutrition, vitamins and follow-up that your care team and the app keep supporting once you're back home.
Share your goals and a specialist gives you a personalised, no-pressure plan — you talk to your surgeon before you fly.
