Internationally experienced Istanbul bariatric surgeons, transparent all-inclusive quotes, and an AI-guided journey — from your first question to full recovery, in one app.
A gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy) is a minimally invasive weight-loss procedure. With SaluVista you speak directly with your surgeon before travelling, receive a transparent all-inclusive quote, and are supported by a dedicated coordinator throughout. *All-inclusive guide price in GBP; euro figures are approximate. Your final quote is confirmed after your surgeon reviews your case.
A gastric sleeve — clinically called a sleeve gastrectomy — is one of the most widely performed weight-loss (bariatric) operations in the world. During the procedure, a surgeon removes a large portion of the stomach, leaving a slimmer, banana-shaped "sleeve". The smaller stomach holds less food and influences the hormones that drive hunger, which together support meaningful, lasting weight loss when paired with the right long-term habits.
The operation is performed laparoscopically — through a few small incisions rather than one large cut — which generally means less scarring and a more comfortable recovery than open surgery. It is a permanent change to your anatomy, so it is a decision to make carefully, with a qualified surgeon, and with realistic expectations. That is exactly why SaluVista puts you in direct contact with your surgeon before any commitment.
A gastric sleeve is generally considered for people living with obesity, particularly where weight is affecting health and other approaches have not delivered lasting results. Suitability always depends on your individual medical picture — your BMI, your health history, and your goals — and is confirmed by a qualified surgeon after a proper screening. SaluVista's role is to help you understand your options honestly; a specialist always makes the final medical call.
Istanbul has become one of the world's leading destinations for bariatric surgery, pairing internationally trained surgeons with modern, accredited facilities — often at a fraction of the cost of waiting privately elsewhere. But quality varies enormously between providers, which is why how you choose matters as much as where.
No call-centre middleman. You speak with the surgeon who will actually treat you, before you decide anything.
An itemised price up front — surgery, hospital, hotel, transfers and aftercare — with no surprises on arrival.
A dedicated coordinator supports you from your first message to your final follow-up, in your language.
We screen before we plan. If a gastric sleeve isn't right for you, a specialist will tell you plainly.
Structured follow-up and nutritional guidance continue long after you've flown home.
Your quote, plan, screening and messages live in one place — clear and always with you.

SaluVista does not publish invented or "too-good-to-be-true" prices. Your final quote reflects your individual plan and is explained to you in full before you decide.
Eligibility for bariatric surgery is based on your BMI together with any weight-related health conditions — but guidelines vary, and only a qualified surgeon can confirm whether a gastric sleeve is appropriate for you. Rather than guess from a chart, SaluVista reviews your individual details properly.
Inside the SaluVista app, you complete a short, private screening about your health and goals. A qualified medical team reviews it, and a surgeon makes the final decision. The screening never approves surgery automatically — it helps route you to the right, honest answer.

Bariatric surgery is real surgery, and it deserves real standards. SaluVista works with board-certified surgeons operating in accredited hospitals, and a qualified human always makes the final medical decision — never an algorithm.
Your gastric sleeve is performed by an experienced bariatric surgeon — Op. Dr. Osman A., who has completed 6,000+ obesity-related procedures — in an accredited Istanbul hospital. You meet and speak with your surgeon before you commit to anything.
We don't use fake urgency, invented statistics, or "guaranteed results". Weight-loss outcomes vary from person to person, and your surgeon will give you realistic, personalised expectations. Any before-and-after images or patient stories we share are used only with documented consent.
Many people experience significant, sustained weight loss after a gastric sleeve — but results depend on your starting point, your health, and how closely you follow the long-term plan. There is no single number that applies to everyone, and honest expectations are part of good care.

|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | from £2,500 (≈ €2,950) | typically several times higher privately / free on the NHS if eligible |
| Waiting time | Weeks (subject to screening) | Often long NHS waiting lists |
| Surgeon access | Talk to your surgeon directly, before you fly | Varies |
| Travel | ~7 days in Istanbul | Local |
| Aftercare | Coordinated, continues at home | Varies |
