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.
A great service with amazing people. At the beginning i was quite nervous for the fact that my teeth were a mess. I was always afraid of dentists but their excellent way of working made me confident that i am in very good hands. Thank you and i will definitely see you again.🙏

I am very pleased with the services of the clinic, the team of doctors and nurses are very helpful in every situation. The procedure was successful, tummy tuck with 360 liposuction, I am very pleased. A wonderful hotel designed for rest, drivers always on time. A clinic worth recommending.

I 100% recommend this clinic, I am very happy with the whole treatment and all the support I’ve been given. I am so happy with my results just after 3 days I feel perfectly fine. You will not regret coming to this clinic.

I had my rhinoplasty at this clinic and had a very positive experience. The staff were professional and supportive from the consultation through recovery, and everything was well organized. The surgeon explained the procedure clearly, and I felt comfortable and well cared for throughout. I’m happy with my results and would recommend this clinic to anyone considering rhinoplasty.

Amazing results for my lipo. I initially had my doubts as to how everything was going to turn out, but my goodness, has Dr Mete come through! I’m so pleased with my results and the body line I hadn’t seen in ages! Everything was taken care of from the arrival right down to the departure. The first day of my surgery, the nurses were available throughout the day and night. I had a hard time the first few days even getting up and about, but support was on hand and they came to check up on me several times. The hospital was very clean and the room was definitely of a high standard for a hospital room ( defo VIP like room). Only thing I would say is get ready to use a google translator on your phone as English is obviously second language understandably and go with your eyes open as the first few days felt like death to me (so take someone to help you unlike me as i went alone)but the results are well worth it! Thanks to the staff and Dr Metexx.

I recently underwent a hair transplant at Badge Clinic in Istanbul, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure follow-up, the team at Badge Clinic demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.
The clinic itself is state-of-the-art, with modern facilities that made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt fully prepared before the procedure. The medical team, led by highly skilled surgeons, was extremely meticulous, ensuring everything was done with precision and care.
The procedure itself was smooth and relatively painless, and I was impressed with the thoroughness and attention to detail. The team ensured I understood the post-op care instructions, and the follow-up support has been fantastic. I am excited about the final outcome!
Traveling to Istanbul for this procedure was definitely worth it also VIP transportation between airport, 5 start to clinic and Badge Clinic provides an excellent combination of affordability and world-class expertise. For anyone considering a hair transplant, I would highly recommend Badge Clinic. They exceeded my expectations in every way.

From the initial enquiry, through booking, surgery and post operative care badge were extremely helpful and reassuring.
The hospital was clean and comfortable and were accommodating to both myself and my companion.
Dr Mete listened to what I wanted whilst offering his professional opinion and giving me the results that I was looking for.
My coordinator Şevval were always on hand regardless of the time of day, to answer any queries, concerns or basic questions I had. No query was to pig or to small.
My hotel nurse Beyza was extremely friendly and so helpful in my aftercare. Again no query or request was to big or to small. She checked on me a few times a day each day and was always available through the WhatsApp group. She made my after care stay so much more comfortable.
Even after I have returned home they are still in contact to offer support and ensure everything is going well.
I would definitely recommend badge clinic for anyone seeking cosmetic surgery. I myself was recommended badge and I am so glad I chose them. My procedures were a fraction of the cost of the UK but this did not take away from the level of care and support that was provided

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.

Had a great experience from the minute i landed, everyone was very welcoming, made me feel at ease, can’t thank my 2 nurses enough from being in the hospital and hotel, kept reassuring me when was needed, especially being so far from home, definitely made the right choice with choosing badge clinic.. only thing i would say was hard was the language barrier but that’s excepted to come to there country, nothing google translate doesn’t help with x

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!!

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 had a wonderful experience at badge clinic, the staff were all exceptionally professional and the service is just at a very high standard and I am not someone who is easy to please. The hotel is perfect, with a spacious lounge area, washing machine and fully functional kitchen. The hospital is very modern and clean with nurses attending to all my needs around the clock. I don’t usually write long reviews but I really had a great experience and I would definitely recommend to anyone! ❤️ Once again, I would like to say thank you to all the staff, nurses and doctors who have looked after me during my stay.
Teresa Z.
I went to Turkey to get my new healthy Hollywood smile. Badge Clinic was recommended to me and my initial experience with Miray was very positive. On my arrival I met Nesrine – my medical coordinator. She took excellent care of my dental journey. She was professional, always available and ready to help me. Nesrine went above and beyond to assist me and I am forever grateful for her effort. I would recommend Badge Clinic to everyone. Their customer service and care are exceptional. Thank you Nesrine and Miray!
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 Health.

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.
