Contact in person: where the consultation happens
Consultation, pre-operative assessment and follow-up all run through the clinic in Güzelbahçe. If you cannot or would rather not travel first, the same appointment happens by video call — which is how most international patients do it.

What happens from the moment you land
You land at Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB). The transfer is arranged and included in the package — the flight ticket itself is not.
Bloods, ultrasound and clearance from cardiology, pulmonology and anaesthesia. All on the same day, before any decision about surgery is made.
Laparoscopic, 45 to 75 minutes. Two hours later you are on your feet for the first time.
No hotel transfer. You stay under continuous medical supervision until discharge; a companion can stay in the room.
By video call and WhatsApp, directly with Dr. Arayıcı — after you fly home exactly as before.
The whole stay takes five to seven days. What it costs and what is included is set out on the gastric sleeve surgery price page.

Frequently asked
Questions before you contact us
How do I contact a bariatric surgeon in Turkey?
The quickest way is to message the team directly on WhatsApp at +90 532 466 67 67. You are writing to the team of Op. Dr. Volkan Arayıcı — not to an external call centre.
How quickly will I get a response after I contact you?
WhatsApp messages are usually answered within a few hours, and within 24 hours at the latest. For urgent questions WhatsApp is the fastest channel.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. The first consultation — by WhatsApp, video call or email — is completely free and carries no obligation to book surgery.
What information should I include when I contact you?
Four details are enough for an assessment that holds up: your height, weight and age, plus any conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, reflux or sleep apnoea. Earlier abdominal or stomach surgery and medication, including GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic, are also useful.
Can I come to the clinic in person before deciding?
Yes. The consultation takes place at the clinic in Güzelbahçe. Most international patients, however, confirm suitability and pricing by video call before they travel.
Which languages can I write in?
English, German and Turkish. The clinical and coordinating team answers enquiries in all three.
