The current £1,800 all-inclusive package
The current gastric sleeve package is £1,800 for patients whose assessment confirms this pathway. It is coordinated with Istanbul Obesity Center and lists the planned operation and hospital stay, preoperative examination and tests, hotel accommodation, VIP transfers, package medicines and supplements, interpreter support and planned follow-up.
The individual written plan should name the partner hospital, state the payment and cancellation terms and explain any finding that could change the safest clinical pathway or quotation.
Clinical items that should be named
The quote should identify the surgeon and hospital rather than describing only a package.
- Preoperative tests and consultations
- Anaesthesia, operating theatre and planned hospital nights
- Medicines and discharge supplies
- Dietetic and surgical follow-up
- English operation and discharge records
- The route for urgent clinical advice
Travel services are a separate comparison
Clarify accommodation, airport and hospital transfers and companion arrangements separately. Flights, specialist insurance, flexible changes and emergency return travel may not be included.
- Who books and can change the flight
- Whether the hotel allows a longer stay
- Which transfers are included
- What the companion pays for
- What happens if you are not fit to fly as planned
Ask about unexpected costs
A written plan should explain responsibility for additional tests, an extended hospital or hotel stay, imaging, endoscopy, transfer, re-operation or treatment of a complication. This is more useful than an all-inclusive label without exclusions.
Compare quality before the headline price
Price alone cannot establish clinical quality. Compare the named surgeon, hospital resources, assessment, complication pathway, discharge records and long-term follow-up. Avoid pressure from time-limited discounts or guarantees.
