Balão intragástrico em Bariatric Istanbul

Bariatric Istanbul is a specialized obesity treatment center in Istanbul's Pendik district. The facility focuses entirely on surgical and non-surgical weight-loss solutions. Its surgeons have over 30 years of experience in metabolic health and bariatric procedures.

Accreditations and Safety Standards

The center operates within a JCI-accredited hospital, meeting international benchmarks for patient safety. It holds health tourism authorization from the Turkish Ministry of Health, confirmed by TÜRSAB registration. Patients receive "Complication Insured Surgery" coverage to manage medical risks.

All surgical departments use FDA-approved equipment. The facility is designed as an international patient center, supporting travelers through their surgical journey with professional oversight.

Weight Loss Surgery and Metabolic Procedures

Bariatric Istanbul performs several types of weight-loss operations tailored to each patient's metabolic needs. Surgeons report a 99% success rate for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and metabolic surgery. Every surgical plan begins with extensive diagnostics to choose the most effective method.

The clinic offers the following surgical and non-surgical options:

• Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy): This procedure permanently reduces stomach size. It limits portion sizes and lowers appetite-regulating hormones.
• Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Creates a small gastric pouch that bypasses parts of the digestive system for calorie reduction.
• Mini Gastric Bypass: A simplified bypass technique combining restrictive and malabsorptive elements for weight loss.
• Metabolic Surgery: Procedures like the duodenal switch designed to treat Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
• Allurion Gastric Balloon: A non-surgical option using a swallowable capsule that inflates in the stomach without anesthesia.

For surgical patients, the center follows strict safety protocols. A leak test and radiologist evaluation are completed before introducing fluids. This confirms the surgical site's integrity during early recovery.

Technology and Diagnostic Capabilities

The center uses an advanced laparoscopic system for all bariatric procedures. This small-incision approach minimizes scarring and shortens recovery time. The diagnostic process includes 54 preoperative exams to assess each patient's fitness for surgery.

Diagnostic steps include consultations with a diverse medical team:

• Nutritionist
• Psychologist
• Cardiologist
• Infectologist
• Endocrinologist

These consultations confirm that patients are physically and mentally prepared for post-surgery lifestyle changes. Ultrasound imaging is a standard part of preoperative screening.
