Types of Obesity Surgery in Istanbul

RNY Gastric Bypass

Roux-en-Y (RNY) Gastric Bypass is both a restrictive and malabsorptive procedure — meaning it reduces the size of the stomach and decreases calorie absorption. It is one of the most widely performed obesity surgeries in the U.S. and Europe.

Patients feel full with smaller portions and maintain a sense of satisfaction without hunger.
The surgery reduces the ghrelin hormone (the hunger hormone), significantly decreasing appetite.
Patients naturally adopt healthier eating habits, as consuming high-calorie or sugary foods after surgery may cause discomfort — helping maintain long-term success.

Mini Gastric Bypass

Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is a restrictive and malabsorptive bariatric procedure that creates a single stomach-to-intestine connection.

It is designed to reduce calorie absorption — especially fats — while limiting stomach capacity.
Like RNY Gastric Bypass, the stomach is divided into two parts.
The difference is that in Mini Gastric Bypass, the intestine is connected without being divided, resulting in fewer surgical connections.

Sleeve Gastrectomy (Tube Stomach)

Sleeve Gastrectomy is a restrictive bariatric procedure that reduces the stomach’s capacity without affecting calorie absorption.

Sleeve Gastrectomy is a restrictive bariatric procedure that reduces the stomach’s capacity without affecting calorie absorption.
It has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its simplicity and effectiveness.
During the surgery, approximately 80% of the stomach is removed using surgical staples, leaving a narrow, sleeve-shaped stomach — hence the name “Tube Stomach.”
