QUICK ANSWER
Bariatric surgery prices at IBC range from £2,450 for Ultra Eco sleeve to £5,700 for ESG. Relaxation sleeve is £4,550 and Roux-en-Y bypass £5,000, both performed by Op. Dr Murat Üstün at JCI-accredited Liv Hospital Vadistanbul. Balloon treatment starts at £1,900. Flights are never included, and balloon and Ultra Eco prices exclude hotel and transfers. Your itemised quotation identifies exactly what is included.
These are our current GBP prices for 2026. The columns describe care tiers rather than three versions of every procedure: Ultra Eco applies only to sleeve gastrectomy. Balloon services have their own device prices and exclude hotel and transfers. Where anatomy, prior operations or clinical complexity materially alter treatment, an honest price can only follow assessment.
| Procedure | Option | Day-case price (no hotel/transfers) | Ultra Eco | Relaxation | Luxury |

| Gastric balloon | Orbera / Allurion / Spatz3 | £1,900 / £2,600 / £2,900 | — | — | — |

All-inclusive applies to Relaxation and Luxury; Ultra Eco and balloon prices exclude hotel and transfers.
Prices are valid through 31 December 2026, subject to clinical eligibility and a written quotation. They do not promise an outcome. A recommendation should reflect BMI, reflux, diabetes, eating pattern, medicines, previous surgery, anaesthetic risk and willingness to maintain long-term nutrition monitoring.
£2,450 covers the experienced surgeon team, operative care at a partner boutique hospital and two hospital nights. It does not include hotel or transfers. This is a lean clinical pathway, not an all-inclusive travel package, so arrange local transport and accommodation separately.
Treatment is led by Op. Dr Murat Üstün at Liv Hospital Vadistanbul, a JCI-accredited hospital in Sarıyer. Sleeve includes two hospital nights, four hotel nights, VIP transfers and 12 months of WhatsApp aftercare including a UK-registered dietitian. Confirm procedure-specific details in writing.
Luxury retains Dr Üstün and Liv Hospital, then adds five luxury-hotel nights, a private car and full board. Sleeve is £4,900, Roux-en-Y bypass £5,350 and duodenal switch £5,400. Ask how meals, companion arrangements and vehicle availability apply to your itinerary.
“All-inclusive” should not be read as “every possible future expense.” It means the listed package components are bundled. Your quote should name the surgeon, hospital, procedure, included nights, tests, medicines, accommodation, transfers and follow-up. If your health history requires extra investigations or a longer stay, ask whether those costs are included before paying a deposit.
The figures below compare IBC’s current prices with typical published private ranges. Different countries bundle care differently, so ranges are useful for budgeting rather than proof that two pathways are identical. NHS care is free at the point of use for eligible patients, but strict criteria and local commissioning apply.
| Provider / country | Sleeve | Bypass | Context |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turkey · IBC | £2,450–£4,900 | £5,000–£5,350 Roux-en-Y | Package depends on tier |
| UK · NHS | Free if eligible | Free if eligible | Strict criteria; waiting commonly 2–5 years |
| UK · private | £8,000–£12,000 | £10,000–£15,000 | Typical published private ranges |
| Germany · private | €9,000–€15,000 | €9,000–€15,000 | Typical published private ranges |
| USA · self-pay | $15,000–$25,000 | $15,000–$25,000 | Typical published private ranges |
| Australia · private | A$15,000–A$25,000 | A$15,000–A$25,000 | Typical published private ranges |
Compare like with like: named operating surgeon, accreditation, hospital nights, anaesthesia and theatre charges, tests, medicines, hotel, transport and meaningful dietetic follow-up. A cheaper total may omit travel support; a higher total may include services you do not need.
Lower prices are mainly an economic difference. Salaries, commercial property, professional services and many hospital operating inputs cost less in Turkey than in the UK, Germany, USA or Australia. Exchange rates can also make locally delivered care less expensive to an international patient paying in GBP.
Istanbul teams treat a high volume of international and domestic patients, allowing hospitals to use theatres, specialist teams and equipment efficiently. Volume can improve familiarity with a pathway, although it never removes individual risk. Lower cost should not mean fewer pre-operative checks, an unnamed operator or inadequate emergency capability.
Judge value through verifiable details. Relaxation and Luxury use Op. Dr Murat Üstün and JCI-accredited Liv Hospital Vadistanbul. Dr Üstün has 25+ years of experience and 6,000+ advanced laparoscopic procedures. Ultra Eco costs less because an experienced surgeon team operates at a partner boutique hospital and travel components are excluded—not because it is secretly the same package.
Ask your coordinator about payment options; we do not name third-party lenders. Do not make plans on the assumption that instalments or credit will be approved. Request the required deposit, balance deadline, accepted payment methods, card charges, refund conditions and what happens after a clinical postponement in writing.
Your personalised GBP quotation should state its validity period and whether a medical finding could change the procedure or cost. Never borrow more than you can reasonably repay, and include flights, insurance, supplements and a delay contingency in the total rather than financing only the surgery headline.
These conversions make broad budgeting easier. They are approximate, September 2026 rates; you are invoiced in GBP. Rates used are £1 ≈ €1.17, US$1.32, A$1.98 and C$1.80, rounded to the nearest 10. Your bank’s exchange rate and charges may produce a different card or transfer total.
| GBP price | EUR | USD | AUD | CAD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £1,900 | €2,220 | $2,510 | A$3,760 | C$3,420 |
| £2,450 | €2,870 | $3,230 | A$4,850 | C$4,410 |
| £4,550 | €5,320 | $6,010 | A$9,010 | C$8,190 |
| £4,900 | €5,730 | $6,470 | A$9,700 | C$8,820 |
| £5,000 | €5,850 | $6,600 | A$9,900 | C$9,000 |
| £5,350 | €6,260 | $7,060 | A$10,590 | C$9,630 |
| £5,700 | €6,670 | $7,520 | A$11,290 | C$10,260 |
Gastric Sleeve Turkey permanently reduces stomach volume. Ultra Eco is £2,450; Relaxation is £4,550; Luxury is £4,900. The separate gastric sleeve cost guide compares every inclusion.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is £5,000 Relaxation or £5,350 Luxury. Mini gastric bypass (OAGB) starts at £5,000. Reflux, diabetes, BMI and nutritional commitment influence selection.
The gastric balloon matrix is Orbera £1,900, Allurion £2,600 and adjustable Spatz3 £2,900. These prices exclude hotel and transfers. Device type, eligibility, placement or swallow pathway and removal planning differ.
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty uses internal sutures placed through the mouth and removes no stomach. The £5,700 cost reflects specialist endoscopy, anaesthesia, suturing equipment and aftercare; it should not be compared with balloon price alone.
Duodenal switch is £5,050 Relaxation or £5,400 Luxury. It is a complex metabolic option for selected patients and carries a demanding lifelong supplement, protein and blood-monitoring commitment.
Transit bipartition and revision bariatric surgery are quoted after assessment. Prior operative notes, endoscopy or imaging and current anatomy can materially change theatre time and resources.
The tier difference is not just the room or car. Ultra Eco sleeve uses an experienced surgeon team and partner boutique hospital. Relaxation and Luxury use Op. Dr Murat Üstün at Liv Hospital Vadistanbul in Sarıyer. Liv is JCI accredited, meaning its organisational quality and patient-safety systems undergo external review. Accreditation supports due diligence but does not guarantee an individual result.
Ask who holds clinical responsibility, which anaesthetist and facility will be used, whether imaging, endoscopy, intensive care and emergency surgery are available, and how bleeding, leak and VTE are handled. A written care pathway is more meaningful than a vague premium label. Read the broader weight loss surgery Turkey guide before comparing options.
Surgeon's Perspective
MD, PhD · 25+ years · 6,000+ advanced laparoscopic procedures
Op. Dr Murat Üstün has more than 25 years of experience and has completed 6,000+ advanced laparoscopic procedures. He is a member of BOMSS, IFSO and the International Bariatric Club. Relaxation and Luxury surgery is delivered at JCI-accredited Liv Hospital Vadistanbul in Sarıyer, Istanbul.
Price should narrow a realistic shortlist, not decide the operation. The clinically appropriate procedure depends on anatomy, reflux, metabolic disease, previous treatment, risk and ability to follow lifelong nutrition guidance. Assessment may recommend further tests, a different option or no intervention.
