What is the Current Price of the Marmaris All-Inclusive Gastric Sleeve Package?
All-inclusive packages can decrease or increase due to factors such as the hospital the patient prefers and the hotel they will stay at. Therefore, it is important for the patient to cooperate with centers like us to get the best price. Because we ensure you pay less for accommodation thanks to our contracted hotels, and less for transportation thanks to our contracted logistics companies. Furthermore, we enable you to pay less for treatment fees compared to normal patients through our contracted hospitals. Thanks to this cooperation, getting gastric sleeve treatment in Marmaris starts from an average of 1,700€. This price is one of the best not only in Marmaris but in Turkey.
What is Included in the Package Price?
All-inclusive packages generally cover the treatment, hospital stay, anesthesia, nursing services, hotel accommodation, and all transportation needs. However, some hospitals and organizations may offer packages that only cover accommodation and treatment. Therefore, it is beneficial to definitely ask about the content of the all-inclusive package before signing an agreement. If you are planning to receive treatment with Cure Holiday, it is possible to say that the content of the all-inclusive package covers accommodation, transportation, anesthesia service, hospital stay, treatment, medication, and nursing services.
Why are Prices in Marmaris More Advantageous Compared to Western Countries?
Marmaris, with its stunning natural beauty and magnificent beaches, is one of Turkey’s most popular holiday destinations. The reason for choosing it for gastric sleeve treatment compared to Western countries is the low cost of living and favorable exchange rates. As of October 16, 2025, 1 € was equivalent to 49 Turkish Liras. This allows patients to receive treatment at a much lower cost. In fact, many patients travel to Turkey instead of receiving treatment in their own countries and cover the costs of transportation, accommodation, treatment, and holiday for half the price of treatment in their home countries.
What Should Be Done to Avoid Hidden Costs Despite the All-Inclusive Price?
Most of the time, hidden costs do not arise. However, this may change due to factors such as the hospital and doctor you choose. The only thing you need to do to avoid hidden costs is to ask explicit questions before coming to Turkey and paying for the treatment cost. You should ask what the price you will pay covers, whether the hotel and transportation are included, and whether costs such as nursing services, hospital food, and anesthesia services during your stay in the hospital are included in the price. This way, you prevent them from adding any price on top of the agreed price. However, we offer transparent treatment to patients without hidden costs. If you are planning to get gastric sleeve treatment in Marmaris, you can contact us.
How Many Nights of Hotel Accommodation are Included in the Price?
Most hospitals may give different numbers regarding how many days you need to stay in the hotel. However, staying in the hotel for at least 3 days after the operation will reduce the risk of complications. That is, if you do not experience a complication within the first 3 days, your risk of experiencing a complication in the following days will decrease. Therefore, our doctors recommend staying in the hotel for at least 3 days. Since you will also need to stay for 1 day on the day you first arrive, in this case, you should stay in the hotel for at least 4 days. However, there is no need to worry because our contracted hotels are 5* hotels.
Is an Extra Fee Charged for Companion Accommodation?
No. You do not need to pay an extra price for the companion. The cost will only increase for the accommodation of the accompanying person. In addition, no extra fee is charged for the companion for needs such as hospital or transportation. However, if you plan to receive treatment from a center or hospital other than Cure Holiday, it is important to ask this question. Because some hospital clinics and centers may ask you to pay an extra fee for the companion’s stay in the hospital as well.
Are the Companion’s Food and Beverage Needs Included in the Package?
Most of the time, this is included in the package. However, as I mentioned above, this may vary. In our packages, everything is included except for the companion’s hotel accommodation, and no extra fee is requested. However, the patient must specify their companion when moving to the pricing stage after receiving a consultation with us, so that Cure Holiday can calculate the cost accordingly.
Is the Dalaman Airport (DLM) Transfer Fee Completely Included in the Price?
Yes. Our transfers are included in the package for all your transportation between the airport and the hotel, and the hotel and the clinic. We will also arrange your return from the hotel to the airport on your last day. However, some hospitals are only responsible for transportation between the hotel and the hospital and often do not specify this. Therefore, you must ask the place where you plan to receive treatment.
Are All Mandatory Medical Tests Performed Before Surgery Included in the Package?
Yes. The all-inclusive packages you pay for your treatment include all medical tests. All medical tests such as blood tests, ultrasounds or X-rays, and endoscopy are included in the cost you pay for the treatment.
Is a Separate Fee Charged for the Endoscopy Procedure?
No. As mentioned above, all-inclusive packages cover everything except the flight ticket. However, this may appear as a hidden cost in some hospitals. Therefore, you should definitely ask these questions to the hospital where you will receive treatment. We are answering this content only for Cure Holiday. In short, although everything is included in our packages, some hospitals may present the services we include in the package as a hidden cost. It is important to take precautions in this regard.
What is the Duration of the Fee Paid for Hospital Stay?
A 2-3 night stay in the hospital will be sufficient. During this stay, no extra fees are requested for services such as your nutrition, companion, or nursing services.
Are Pre-Surgery Psychological Consultations Free Under the Package Scope?
No. Most of the time, no hospital or center includes psychological support service in the package. Most patients handle this in their own country before coming for treatment. If you want to receive treatment in Turkey but do not feel ready, it is important to receive psychological support for a few sessions in your country.
Are the Vitamins and Mineral Supplements Required After Surgery Included in the Package?
No. Since it is not certain how long the patient will need which vitamins and minerals after the operation, they are not included in the package. Patients can give blood in their own country at the hospital close to the end of their recovery period, and based on this blood sample result, their missing vitamins and minerals are determined. Thus, the patient can start taking supplements.
What is the Cost of Medications to be Used After Discharge (e.g., Stomach Protector)?
The costs of such medicines are highly variable. However, buying these medicines in Turkey will naturally be more affordable than the price you will pay in your own country. However, it is still not possible to give a precise price. Because there will be a price difference even between the brands of stomach protectors or other medicines recommended by your doctor for you.
What are the Payment Options (Cash, Bank Transfer, Credit Card)?
If you plan to receive treatment in Turkey, you can pay in any way. You can use cash, money order, or your credit card. However, some hospitals may not accept credit cards. Therefore, it is beneficial to ask the hospitals or clinics you encounter during the research process about the payment methods you can use.
Is a Bank Commission Fee Applied When Paying by Credit Card?
No. Most of the time, a commission fee is not paid. However, this situation may vary from hospital to hospital. Therefore, it is important to consult the place where you will receive treatment. There are certainly hospitals that may charge a commission fee of up to 20% if you pay by credit card.
Does Health Insurance Cover the Cost of Gastric Reduction Surgery?
Yes, health insurance (SGK) covers the cost of gastric reduction surgery under certain conditions. These conditions generally include the person’s body mass index being over 40 or over 35 with additional health problems related to obesity. Private health insurance, on the other hand, usually covers such surgeries only in medically necessary cases and depending on the policy conditions.
International Accreditations of Hospitals in Marmaris
You must check whether the hospital where you will have the surgery complies with international standards (e.g., JCI). This indicates that the hospital has passed a certain threshold in terms of quality and patient safety. Many private hospitals in Marmaris are quite assertive about meeting these standards.
How to Inquire About the Surgeon’s Experience and Success Rates?
The most critical factor in your surgery decision is your surgeon. Do not hesitate to openly ask how many years they have been performing bariatric surgery, the average number of gastric sleeve operations they perform per year, and their revision rates. A good surgeon will share this information transparently.
Duration of Surgery and the First Hours Immediately After
Gastric sleeve surgery takes an average of 1 to 2 hours using the laparoscopic method. The first hours after the surgery are important in terms of emerging from the effects of anesthesia, waking up, and monitoring vital functions. Having an experienced team of nurses by your side at this stage is invaluable.
Comfort and Privacy of the Recovery Room
How much peace your hospital room provides affects your recovery speed. Single, comfortable, and private rooms provide great comfort, especially in the first 48 hours after surgery.
Why is the First Walk After Surgery of Vital Importance?
Those small steps taken just a few hours after the surgery are the key to the recovery process. It reduces the risk of thrombosis (clot), prevents gas compression, and helps your stomach heal quickly. Walking with the accompaniment of nurses is a critical part of the package.
Critical Days Spent in the Hotel After Discharge
The 3-4 days you will spend in the hotel after leaving the hospital are the biggest advantage of the Marmaris package. Since your doctor is close during this period, there is a chance for immediate intervention even in the slightest problem. Moreover, the hotel environment offers the opportunity to focus completely on resting, away from household responsibilities.
Tips for Transitioning from Liquid Diet to Puree
The dietary stages after surgery (Liquid, Puree, Soft Solid, Normal) are very sensitive. The golden rule is to prioritize protein intake, especially during the puree period, and consume every bite slowly so as not to strain your new stomach. Your dietitian will provide you with detailed lists for these transitions.
The Importance of Long-Term Dietitian Follow-Up
The first 6-12 months of the surgery is the rapid weight loss period. However, the real success lies in maintaining these weights. The 1-year remote follow-up offered within the scope of the package guides you during this maintenance period. Remember, your dietitian shapes not only what you eat but also your new eating habit.
Support Groups and Psychological Process Management
Obesity surgery also changes emotional eating habits. Many centers provide access to online support groups formed by operated patients. These groups are an incredible source of morale regarding the difficulties encountered and motivation issues.
When Should Sports and Physical Activity Begin?
Light walks can be started immediately, even in the hospital. However, strenuous exercises such as weight lifting require your doctor’s approval (usually after 4-6 weeks). Slow walks you will take on the Marmaris coast will support your recovery process.
The Most Ideal Period to Travel to Marmaris
Marmaris can be very crowded and hot during the summer months (June-September). The most ideal periods for surgery and recovery are the spring (April-May) and autumn (Late September-October) months. The weather is mild and the crowds decrease, which ensures a peaceful recovery.
Information About Visa Procedures and Required Documents
You should check whether a visa is required for entry to Turkey and the validity period of your passport. Some facilities may be provided for travel for medical purposes, so you can ask the center you have contracted with (such as Cure Holiday) for the necessary official invitation and support letters.
Activities for Companions in Marmaris
While you rest, your companion can enjoy Marmaris. Activities such as boat tours, spending time on İçmeler Beach, or visiting Marmaris Castle allow them to also see this process as a holiday.
Weight Loss Goals: How to Set Realistic Expectations?
The goal is to lose 60% to 80% of excess weight in the first year. Instead of expecting miracles, it is necessary to approach these goals in achievable steps. Create a personalized goal plan with your surgeon and dietitian.
Likelihood of Revision and Long-Term Success
Gastric sleeve surgery is generally permanent, but rarely, revision (a second operation) may be required in cases of insufficient weight loss or regaining weight. The secret to long-term success is 20% surgery and 80% lifestyle change.
Mandatory Smoking Cessation Before Surgery
Smoking significantly increases the risk of post-surgery complications (especially leakage and wound healing). Quitting smoking completely at least 2-4 weeks before the surgery is an absolute necessity for most centers.
Leak Test Procedure
This is a vital test performed at the end of the surgery and usually the next day to check for leaks at the incision sites. This is a routine procedure that guarantees your safety during your hospital stay.
