More and more Dutch people are considering gastric bypass surgery to lose weight permanently and improve their health. What is striking? A growing number are choosing to have this procedure done abroad, particularly in Istanbul.
The combination of high-quality medical care, short waiting times, and attractive total packages makes gastric bypass surgery in Istanbul a popular choice. However, we understand that such a decision raises many questions. What about safety? What are the costs? And why would you travel to Turkey for surgery?
In this article, we provide clear answers, practical insights, and show why Istanbul is increasingly becoming the destination of choice for people who are serious about losing weight.
Gastric bypass surgery is a big step. Not only physically, but also emotionally and financially. In the Netherlands, people often face long waiting lists or are not immediately eligible. This makes going abroad an increasingly attractive option – and Turkey in particular is proving to be a popular destination.
But why choose gastric bypass surgery in Turkey? Simple: you get access to experienced specialists, modern clinics, and a complete service that is often faster and more affordable than in your own country.
In recent years, Turkey has developed into a leading country in the medical sector, with Istanbul at the heart of this development. The city offers advanced hospitals, certified doctors, and an excellent reputation in the field of weight loss surgery.
What Dutch people also appreciate is the ease with which everything is arranged. From the initial intake to aftercare in the Netherlands, everything runs smoothly when you choose a reliable partner such as Health & Beauty Travel.
A gastric bypass in Turkey offers many advantages that go beyond just a lower price. For many Dutch people, quality plays an even greater role than cost. And that quality is abundantly available in Turkey.
The clinics you will visit through Health & Beauty Travel are all modern, well-equipped, and internationally accredited. Think of quality marks such as JCI and ISO, which guarantee that you will be treated according to strict international standards.
What’s more, you will be working with surgeons who have years of experience in weight loss surgery. So you are in the hands of specialists who know exactly what they are doing.
What makes Turkey particularly attractive for a gastric bypass abroad is the total package. You don’t have to worry about a thing: flights, transfers, accommodation in luxury hotels, and guidance are all included. Everything is taken care of down to the last detail – so you can focus on your recovery and new start.
A gastric bypass in Istanbul is not just a medical procedure, but a complete experience that combines quality, comfort, and affordability. At Health & Beauty Travel, the cost of a gastric bypass in 2025 varies depending on the type of treatment:
These prices include:
For comparison: in the Netherlands, the cost of gastric bypass surgery can range from €8,000 to €12,000, and is not always covered by health insurance. That is why many people consciously choose gastric bypass surgery in Istanbul: affordable, professional, and fully taken care of.
Safety is often the first concern when considering gastric bypass surgery abroad. That makes sense—you want to be sure you are in good hands. Fortunately, when you choose to undergo treatment in Istanbul through a reliable party such as Health & Beauty Travel, that concern is completely justified.
All surgeries take place in top-rated private hospitals that meet international standards. The clinics are accredited by organizations such as Joint Commission International (JCI) and ISO, which means they operate according to the same protocols as leading hospitals in Europe.
The doctors with whom Health & Beauty Travel works have been carefully selected for their experience and specialization. This means you will be treated by a surgeon who performs this type of surgery on a daily basis – with proven success and results.
What gives you extra confidence: you are not alone. From the first contact to the aftercare in the US, you will be accompanied by a team that is active both locally in Istanbul and in the US. The collaboration with Health Beauty Aftercare ensures that you can also count on medical guidance and personal advice after your return.
A gastric bypass in Istanbul is therefore not only an affordable choice, but also a safe and professionally guided step towards a healthier life.
Choosing to undergo medical treatment abroad is not a decision to be taken lightly. That is why it is valuable to know how others have experienced it. More and more Dutch people have gone before you—and with success.
Marianne (42) from Zwolle opted for a gastric sleeve in Istanbul in 2024:
“I had been struggling with my weight for years. In the Netherlands, I had to wait a long time and received little guidance. Health & Beauty Travel took care of everything down to the last detail. The doctor was clear, the hospital was clean and professional, and the aftercare in the Netherlands gave me confidence. I haven’t regretted it for a moment.”
Daan (37) from Rotterdam says:
“I was initially skeptical about gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey, but the contact with Health & Beauty Travel was personal and professional from the start. Everything was arranged for me. The operation went well, and I have now lost 38 kilos. Best decision ever.”
What stands out in these stories? People feel heard, guided, and taken seriously. It is precisely this personal approach, combined with medical quality, that makes many Dutch people choose to have gastric bypass surgery in Istanbul with peace of mind.
