Take Control of Your Health with Meju Bariatric Program
Treatment Overview
What is Bariatric Surgery?
Reclaim control over your health with Meju’s bariatric specialists, where advanced techniques
meet compassionate care to achieve sustainable, long-term weight loss.
It’s a transformative procedure that reduces the stomach size or modifies digestion, helping patients limit food intake and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Ideal for individuals with obesity (BMI ≥ 35), particularly those struggling with diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.
Patients typically achieve 60–70% reduction of excess weight, with noticeable improvements in mobility, energy, and overall well-being within months.
How It Works
Comprehensive Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed medical assessment conducted by Meju’s partner
specialists.
This includes
• Complete medical history and physical evaluation
• BMI calculation and obesity-related risk assessment
• Personalized weight-loss goals discussion
• Guidance on the most suitable bariatric procedure (Sleeve, Bypass, etc.)
During this stage, patients also receive online or in-person consultations with both the
surgeon and Meju’s medical coordinators to prepare for their trip and operation plan.
Preparation Phase
Before surgery, every patient undergoes a pre-operative optimization program to ensure
the best and safest outcome.
This includes:
• Nutritional counseling to introduce the post-surgery diet (liquid & protein phases)
• Psychological preparation to support emotional readiness and long-term lifestyle
change
• Pre-operative tests, such as blood work, ECG, and anesthetic evaluation
• Instructions on medications, fasting, and travel arrangements
• Our team provides ongoing guidance before arrival to Turkey , ensuring you’re fully
prepared for your transformation.
Surgical Procedure
The surgery is performed laparoscopically (minimally invasive) by experienced, board
certified bariatric surgeons in accredited Turkish hospitals.
Depending on the chosen procedure:
• Gastric Sleeve: Removes about 70–80% of the stomach, reducing appetite.
• Gastric Bypass: Creates a smaller stomach pouch and reroutes digestion for faster
results.
• Roux-en-Y: A more complex bypass that enhances metabolic improvement.
• Gastric Balloon: A temporary, non-surgical option performed endoscopically.
All procedures are performed under general anesthesia and last between 30 minutes to 2
hours, depending on the method.
Recovery & Hospital Care
After surgery, patients stay 2–3 nights in the hospital for close medical monitoring.
• Pain control, hydration, and early mobilization are managed by the hospital team.
• Patients begin a liquid diet within 24 hours post-surgery under dietitian
supervision.
• Our coordinators assist with translation, comfort, and communication throughout
your stay.
Once discharged, patients usually spend 3–5 additional days at the hotel for rest and
gradual recovery before flying home.
Aftercare & Long-Term Support
Meju’s care continues beyond your surgery.
• Follow-up appointments (in-person or online) with the surgeon and dietitian.
• Customized nutrition and vitamin plans for the first 6–12 months.
