Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) cost in Turkey
As of September 2026, the published English package figure for endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is 6,900 EUR. This amount relates to a defined ESG package, not to surgical sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass or a gastric balloon. The named provider must confirm whether ESG is suitable and provide the final written scope after assessment.
ESG is performed through the mouth with an endoscope and internal sutures to reduce stomach volume; it does not remove part of the stomach and does not reroute the intestine. The procedure, recovery, expected effect and long-term follow-up are therefore different from laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. A price alone cannot determine the appropriate pathway or guarantee a weight outcome.

What is ESG?
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is an endoscopic bariatric procedure in which the provider uses an endoscope and a suturing system to reshape the stomach from inside. No abdominal incisions are used in the usual procedure. ESG is part of a broader obesity-treatment continuum, but it is not equivalent to surgical sleeve gastrectomy in anatomy or expected metabolic effect. Lifestyle, nutrition and structured follow-up remain central to care.
ESG versus surgical gastric sleeve
Key distinctions to discuss with the treating provider
Question
ESG
Surgical sleeve gastrectomy
Access
Endoscopic, through the mouth.
Usually laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
Stomach tissue
Reshaped with internal sutures; no stomach section is removed.
Individual assessment, risks, medical history and long-term support determine which path, if any, is appropriate.
What should the written ESG scope include?
the exact ESG procedure, named provider and facility;
assessment, anaesthesia or sedation plan, endoscopy, medications and the planned observation period;
tests, dietetic appointments, discharge criteria and the early contact route;
hotel, transfers or companion arrangements only where they are expressly listed; and
what is excluded, including flights, extra nights, complications outside the written scope and long-term care at home.
Candidacy, recovery and long-term support
ESG is not a substitute for individual assessment. The provider may review weight history, obesity-related conditions, medicines, prior stomach or oesophageal surgery, reflux or swallowing symptoms, nutrition, alcohol use and readiness for follow-up. Early intake normally progresses according to the treating team’s instructions; hydration, nutrition, activity restrictions and travel clearance must be personalised. Seek urgent local care for severe or worsening pain, persistent vomiting, inability to keep fluids down, fever, chest pain, shortness of breath, black stools or fainting.
Plan continuing support at home before travelling. That can include dietetic care, prescribed supplementation where indicated, weight management and a local clinician who can receive the discharge summary. Prof. Dr. Ümit Koç is listed as the medical reviewer for this English guide; that editorial review does not replace the individual provider assessment.
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is an endoscopic procedure that uses internal sutures to reshape the stomach. It is not surgical sleeve gastrectomy and does not remove stomach tissue.
How much does ESG cost in Turkey?
+
The published English package figure on this page is 6,900 EUR as of September 2026. The named provider confirms suitability and the final written scope after assessment.
Is ESG the same as gastric sleeve surgery?

No. ESG is performed with an endoscope through the mouth; surgical sleeve gastrectomy usually uses laparoscopic abdominal surgery and removes much of the stomach.
Who decides whether ESG is suitable?
+
The named provider assesses medical history, symptoms, prior surgery, risks and long-term support needs. A price page cannot determine suitability.
What should the ESG written plan include?
+
It should name the provider and facility, procedure, sedation or anaesthesia plan, tests, medication, observation, dietetic follow-up, discharge criteria, travel items and exclusions.
