    Why Bursa for gastric sleeve

    Bursa is home to modern private hospitals equipped with advanced laparoscopic technology and internationally trained bariatric surgeons. The city's competitive pricing reflects lower operational costs without compromising clinical standards. Many Bursa clinics hold JCI accreditation and maintain partnerships with UK-based aftercare providers, ensuring continuity of care. Located just 2 hours from Istanbul's major airports, Bursa offers convenient access and shorter travel times than more remote Turkish destinations.

    Bursa's reputation in bariatric surgery has grown steadily, with surgeons performing over 100 gastric sleeve procedures annually. The city combines affordability with established medical infrastructure, making it an accessible choice for UK and Irish patients. Recovery facilities are designed for international patients, with dedicated support teams, English-speaking staff and structured postoperative protocols. The fast ferry or road link to Istanbul means flights are typically cheaper and connections more frequent than to smaller Turkish cities.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is the £2,800-£4,500 price all-inclusive?

    Yes. The quoted range includes the procedure, hospital fees, anaesthesia, transfers, accommodation and follow-up support. Always confirm the exact package contents with your chosen clinic in writing before committing, as some may charge separately for optional services like dietitian appointments.

    How long does recovery take?

    Most patients return to light activities within 2-3 weeks and full activity by 6-8 weeks. Pain is usually minimal after day 5. Clinics provide pain management protocols and dietary guidance. Full absorption stabilisation occurs at 12-18 months, with ongoing nutritional monitoring recommended.

    How long do I need to stay in Turkey?

    Typical stay is 5-7 days: 1-2 days preoperative assessment, 1-2 days hospitalisation post-op, and 2-3 days local recovery and wound checks before flying. Some patients extend the stay for comfort; clinics can arrange extended hotel accommodation.

    Is gastric sleeve surgery safe in Turkey?

    JCI-accredited clinics in Bursa meet international safety standards equivalent to UK private hospitals. Complication rates are comparable to UK figures. Choose a clinic with proven credentials, experienced surgeons and transparent safety protocols. Ask for complication rates and infection statistics before booking.

    What aftercare support is provided after I return to the UK?

    Most packages include remote follow-up with the surgeon or clinic dietitian for 3-6 months via video calls or email. Some clinics liaise with UK GPs to integrate aftercare. Arrange your own UK dietitian for ongoing support; many NHS services accept post-bariatric patients for longer-term care.

    Will my NHS GP support me after private gastric sleeve surgery abroad?

    Many NHS GPs support bariatric patients post-surgery, but policies vary. Inform your GP before travel and provide surgical records from the Turkish clinic. Some CCGs fund ongoing dietitian or psychology support. Others may not. Discuss this beforehand; private UK follow-up is always available as a backup option.
