Bariatric & Weight Loss Surgery is among the treatments UK patients most often travel abroad to access at a lower cost. Turkey has become one of the world's leading destinations for affordable, high quality medical care. The country combines internationally trained surgeons, more than 30 JCI accredited hospitals and prices a fraction of UK private rates, which is why it now draws over 1.4 million international patients a year.
Privately in the UK, bariatric & weight loss surgery costs around £10,000 and is rarely available on the NHS. At an accredited clinic in Turkey, the same treatment typically costs about £3,500 all inclusive, a saving of roughly 65%. Prices usually cover consultation, blood tests, surgery, two to three nights hospital, dietitian support, hotel and transfers.
