Gastric sleeve surgery is offered by numerous reputable clinics and hospitals throughout Turkey. A thriving medical tourism sector that is backed by the government means the whole healthcare system is extremely advanced, with skilled surgeons using the latest techniques and equipment in every field, including getting a gastric band. Turkey has lots of clinics to choose from that have garnered recognition from international accreditation agencies, attesting to the exceptional standards you can easily find there.
Despite the usual case that it will cost a lot for a high-quality gastric sleeve, Turkey offers the procedure at a significantly lower price compared to many other countries, without compromising the level of surgical expertise and overall care provided.

To uphold the excellent standards of its healthcare system, Turkey produces highly qualified doctors who attend prestigious universities and continue to enhance their knowledge throughout their careers by attending courses and conferences relating to their field. Indeed, most of them are active members of medical societies that strive to develop their disciplines further, making it easy to find a surgeon for your gastric band in Turkey who is versed in the newest innovations of the procedure.
Turkey's international airports receive hundreds of flights from every major destination each day, with plenty of budget airlines serving routes too. You can get direct flights from mainland Europe and the UK, and if you book a package deal, a driver will be waiting in Turkey to take you to your hotel, to make things even easier. Just remember to check your government's travel advice; nationals from the UK, for example, won't need a visa for visits under 90 days.
Turkey's cities are quite cosmopolitain and are safe to travel to alone. Since your surgeon will brief you on the recovery process and the aftercare will be as comprehensive as possible, even travelling alone for a gastric sleeve in Turkey is perfectly doable. However, some patients prefer to have some support with them, which can be easily arranged through the hotel booking whilst your package is being discussed. Even if you change your mind after it's booked, hotels tend to be flexible in accommodating an extra guest for an extra fee.
