We are your partners in building sustainable, long-term health. Our program is uniquely designed to support you at every stage, focusing on what matters most: your safety and your lasting success.

Benefits:

Advanced Solutions for Lasting Results

We move beyond standard procedures to offer advanced solutions with proven, superior outcomes. We will evaluate your unique medical profile (BMI, diabetes status, etc.) to determine the most effective path for you.

1. Modified Sleeve Gastrectomy (Our Preferred Surgical Method for suitable patients)

We do not recommend the standard sleeve, as global data shows it can have a high (50%) long-term weight regain rate. Dr. Demiriz specializes in an advanced Modified Sleeve Gastrectomy.

How it’s different: This technique leaves a much smaller stomach volume than the standard procedure.
The Result: It provides more effective, durable weight loss. In our surgeon’s extensive series, this technique has a weight regain rate of just 3%.

2. The "No-Vomit" Gastric Balloon (Premier Non-Surgical Option)

For patients seeking a non-surgical solution, we offer a groundbreaking protocol designed for maximum comfort.

How it’s different: We use a special pre-procedure diet and medication plan, combined with a crucial 24-hour inpatient admission for symptom management.
The Result: This protocol is highly successful. 80% of our patients do not vomit even once , and we have had zero balloons removed early (within 48 hours) due to intolerance in the last 5 years. We offer 6-month, 1-year, and swallowable balloon options.

3. Distal Bipartition (Advanced Metabolic Surgery)

For patients with highly complex metabolic conditions, such as uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and very high BMIs, this is our most powerful surgical solution.

Key Benefit: This advanced technique is exceptionally effective for both significant weight loss and resolving co-morbidities. In our experience, no patient has failed to lose weight with this procedure.

Your Step-by-Step Bariatric Surgery Journey

The Evaluation & Planning Stage

Consultation & Diagnosis Review

Initial Consultation:

A comprehensive review of your medical history, including age, height, weight , co-morbidities, current medications , and surgical history.

Comprehensive Medical Review:

Necessary pre-operative tests are conducted (all included in the package).

Personalized Plan:

Based on your history, Demiriz will determine the most suitable surgical option.

Pre-Surgery Prep

Treatment Planning & Start

Finalizing Details:

Final clearances for surgery are obtained from specialists like anesthesia and cardiology, and the surgery date is set.

Pre-Operative Preparation:

A special 10-day pre-operative diet is started (a diet list will be provided). We also recommend 1 week of PPI (stomach protector) medication.

Lifestyle Requirements:

Patients must stop smoking to ensure proper healing and reduce complication risks.

Post-Surgery & Follow-up

Treatment & Lifelong Monitoring

Surgery & Initial Recovery:

The procedure is performed using single-use, FDA/CE-approved materials , followed by a short, closely monitored hospital stay of 2-3 days.

Required In-Country Stay:

Patients must stay in Turkey for at least 1 week post-surgery. This is a critical safety measure, as 95% of complications develop within this first week.

Continuous Monitoring Schedule:

Our surgeon-led follow-up is lifelong. It begins with intensive check-ups during the critical early months , transitioning to structured appointments throughout the first two years. After this, we support your long-term success with annual remote check-ins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the bariatric surgery package?

Our package is all-inclusive from your arrival until discharge. It covers the surgical procedure , the hospital stay, and all required pre-operative evaluations. This includes the complete cardiology workup, all lab tests, the mandatory pre-operative endoscopy.

Why do you recommend a "Modified" Sleeve Gastrectomy?

While the standard sleeve is common, global data shows it can have a long-term weight regain rate as high as 50%. We do not recommend this procedure. Instead, Dr. Demiriz specializes in an advanced Modified Sleeve Gastrectomy. This technique leaves less stomach volume, providing more effective and, most importantly, more durable weight loss. In our surgeon’s extensive series, this technique has a weight regain rate of only 3%.

What makes your "No-Vomit" Gastric Balloon protocol different?

Our non-surgical balloon protocol is uniquely designed for comfort. Standard balloon placement often results in severe nausea and vomiting. We prevent this with a special protocol involving a pre-procedure diet and medication. The most critical part is a mandatory 24-hour inpatient admission after the procedure, which allows us to manage symptoms proactively. The result: 80% of our patients do not vomit even once , and we have had zero balloons removed early (within 48 hours) due to intolerance in the last 3 years.

What is your approach to patient safety?

Your safety is our priority, and our surgeon’s complication rate is exceptionally low. As a critical safety measure, we require all surgical patients to stay in Turkey for at least 1 week after their procedure. This is because 95% of early complications occur within this window, allowing our team to monitor your recovery closely.

What makes your surgical and non-surgical options different?

We focus on techniques with the best long-term, durable results. For surgery, we specialize in an advanced Modified Sleeve Gastrectomy, which has shown a significantly lower weight regain rate (only 3% in our series) compared to the standard procedure. For non-surgical options, our “No-Vomit” Balloon protocol uses a unique 24-hour admission for symptom management, allowing 80% of our patients to complete the process without any vomiting. We do not offer procedures with low success or high complication rates.

Who manages my follow-up care after I go home?

Your surgeon does. Uniquely, Op. Dr. Barış Demiriz personally manages your nutritional follow-up for your entire journey. Our program includes an intensive schedule of check-ups for the first two years, followed by annual remote follow-ups for life, to ensure you have the support to maintain your success .
