Gastric Bypass Surgery is a highly effective bariatric procedure for individuals struggling with obesity, especially when other weight loss methods have failed. This surgery not only reduces the size of the stomach but also reroutes part of the digestive system, leading to significant and sustained weight loss.
At Badge Health in Turkey, we provide expert care using modern techniques to ensure safety, effectiveness, and optimal results for international patients.
My whole journey with badge clinic was very professional, everyone was very friendly and helpful, from the first consultation and later on site in turkey. The ladies have looked after me very well and I want to express my gratitude. Dr. Mete has done a fabulous job, and I can’t wait to see my end results in a few months.

Not sure where to start! 10 out of 10. Badge Clinic is the best thing that ever happened to me. Surgeons are professional and can’t say thank you enough to the nurses at the hospital and the hotel. They were caring and helpful. My coordinator Miray was explaining everything in detail so I was aware of everything. She still messaging me after I was back in UK. 🥰 Can’t thank this team enough! Thank you ❤️🙏

I did the hair transplant. Everyone was super cool and nice. My Coordinator Nisrine walked me through all of the steps so I knew what to expect through the procedure and for my after care. The whole process they make sure you are comfortable and accommodated. The hotel they put you up at is really nice, the Free Breakfast Buffet is the BOMB and so is the room service menu. I had a nice stay and my procedure was as painless as possible. 10/10 Would recommend to a friend!

I had a hair transplant a week ago and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me through the process than Badge Clinic. The transfers from the airport to the hotel to the clinic were great.
Nicole S.
My experience with badge clinic has been amazing. The help and support I received both before and in Istanbul has been flawless. My coordinator Enes has been very helpful and answered all my questions. While I was in Istanbul my Coordinator Nebia has been extremely pleasant and made me feel welcomed. My surgeon Dr Mete has done a great job and for once when he asked if I had any questions I was speechless. My experience thus far has been amazing and I would definitely recommend Badge Clinic.

I had breast augmentation with badge clinic. The experience from start to finish has been very smooth. The hospital is very clean and staff as helpful as can be. Slight language barrier with some nurses but was fine overall. Very happy with my results and would recommend to anyone thinking about coming to Turkey for the same surgery.

I was a patient at Badge Clinic. I was impressed by how well they organized to pick me up from the airport, then take me to the hotel and get me back on time. They were very well organized, the staff is pleasant, but the organizers were in touch with me to be sure that everything is done professionally and on time; I also have friends who were patients at this clinic and were satisfied. Thank you Badge clinic so we will definitely see you soon.

I would like to firstly thank aleyna , irem and Nesrine for all their amazing support help and although so friendly but very professional. They made me feel part of The Badge family .. I also want to thank wonderful surgeon Muhammad Eren Șimșek he has done amazing. Feel a million dollars no pain but perfection. My second time now at the Badge and I will most certainly be back. Again from the beginning in contact with admin to flights to the driver to the hotel.. everything runs so smoothly and the people are just gorgeous. I literally will miss them. I’m so happy with the whole process❤️❤️❤️❤️

I recently underwent a breast lift with implants and 360/back liposuction at Badge Clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.
First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to Nurses Irem and Aleyna. Their friendliness and willingness to help made me feel at ease throughout my stay. Their professional care truly stood out.
A huge thank you to Dr. Mete for his incredible work. His expertise in performing my procedures was evident, and I am thrilled with the results after 3 days. His attention to detail and commitment to patient satisfaction are commendable.
I also want to thank Nesrine for her excellent organizational skills. She took care of everything, from coordinating my stay to managing transfers between the hotel and hospital, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
The team at Badge Clinic is remarkably organized and dedicated to their patients’ well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Badge Clinic to anyone considering these procedures.

Post surgery of 4 days, fly back room night. I’ve had 360 lipo, tummy tuck and a do repair. Nurse all so kind and Google translate helps. Walking as advised has helped a lot increase mobility and reduce swelling or bloating. Defiantly take comfy button up the front over size item, travel light and book special assistance for the airport to help get through the massive airport.
Results look great already and super bloated and need to get lymph massages but extremely happy so far.
Hotel staff, clinic & hospital staff are all friendly. Surgeon lovely and nice. Just drink plenty, stay comfy and walking is key!!
Saipriya H.
I am a patient from the UK who travelled to Badge clinic in Turkey upon recommendations. The level of service from start to finish was 5 star. I had surgery done with badge clinic and everything from their part was so well planned out. Everyone representing the clinic was very friendly and took such good care of me. The communication was 5 star. As my surgery was a few days ago, i haven’t been able to see my final result but from what I have seen, I am extremely happy! Thank you Badge clinic! I will be visiting again.

Celina A.
Very welcoming people. I was stressed that the doctor had to take my canine out and is visible so they came with the option with a temporary tooth until next appointment for the implant. Also the bridge procedure was done with precision. Honestly they know what they are doing and you feel in good hands. Highly recommend Badge Clinic.🌸🌸🌸
Tasmyn B.
My experience with The Badge Clinic has been amazing- everyone that I have spoken to have been so kind, thoughtful and patient. I had a surgery in the UK 5 years ago and I am much happier with my result and the whole process this time around. I would recommend The Badge Clinic to anyone!
Lily F.
Very happy with badge clinic as a whole. From stepping of the plane right until the end. The staff have been amazing and helped me every step of the way. If I needed anything they responded to me very fast and helped with whatever I needed.
Tamla T.
Badge clinic get 5 stars and more for me. In my opinion there is no other clinic I would go to now. This is my second visit to badge clinic. I previously came for breast augmentation in 2020 so when I decided I wanted a tummy tuck and lipo, there was no other clinic I trusted. Dr Burak and his team are absolutely brilliant at what they do and I’m so impressed with my latest procedure. Their aftercare team is second to none and nothing is too much for these guys. They definitely go that extra mile to make you feel welcome and at ease. Love you guys, can’t wait to come back next year for even more procedures! ❤️❤️

Honestly could not knock my experience
Honestly could not knock my experience. Flying solo I was very nervous. I had Nesrine guide me through it all who is an amazing coordinator. I got to the hospital and again was very nervous but was soon reassured. I then got settled in a lovely hospital room. I had bloods taken, chest x-ray and an ultrasound scan on tummy. I then met with my doctor Professor Dr. Cengiz Eriş who was very knowledgeable and made me at ease. I then got given the go ahead for Gastric sleeve surgery. It has been an experience and I’m
So glad to say a success. I was up walking a few hours after. Day 2 is probably the worst but once you get through it your on cloud 9. I met with my dietician and given all my protein shales and vitamins. Then got discharged day 3 post op. I got transferred to a beautiful hotel where I am relaxed and it’s beautiful. Thankyou for everything ❤️

Gastric Bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is a surgical procedure that reduces the stomach size and reroutes the small intestine. This dual approach limits food intake and reduces calorie absorption, resulting in significant weight loss.
The procedure is especially suitable for patients who:
Have a body mass index (BMI) over 40
Have obesity-related health issues such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea
Have not achieved weight loss through diet, exercise, or non-surgical methods
Seek permanent, long-term weight management
How is Gastric Bypass Surgery Performed?
Gastric Bypass is usually performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia:
Pre-Operative Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation including blood tests, imaging, and medical history analysis.
Stomach Reduction: A small pouch is created from the upper portion of the stomach to limit food intake.
Intestinal Rerouting: Part of the small intestine is connected to the new stomach pouch, reducing calorie absorption.
Post-Operative Care: Patients receive instructions for diet, activity, and follow-up visits.
The procedure typically lasts 2–3 hours, and most patients stay in the hospital for 2–4 days.
Advantages of Gastric Bypass Surgery
Significant and sustained weight loss
Improvement in obesity-related health conditions
Reduced appetite and portion control
Minimally invasive laparoscopic approach
Long-term changes to support weight management
Enhanced quality of life and confidence
Recovery After Gastric Bypass Surgery
Recovery requires careful adherence to dietary and lifestyle guidelines:
First week: Light diet and gradual return to daily activities
2–4 weeks: Increase activity levels while following structured diet
1–6 months: Rapid weight loss and adjustment to new eating habits
12–18 months: Full benefits and long-term weight management
Badge Health provides tailored aftercare, nutrition counseling, and regular follow-ups to ensure the best outcomes.
Risks and Considerations
Gastric Bypass Surgery is a safe and well-established procedure but carries minor risks such as infection, bleeding, or temporary digestive issues. Choosing experienced surgeons and a reputable clinic like Badge Health minimizes risks and ensures high success rates.
