NewMe Obesity Clinic · Antalya
Surgeon-led weight loss surgery in Antalya, Turkey
Your surgery is performed — not just supervised — by two of Turkey's most experienced bariatric surgeons: Prof Dr Nurullah Bulbuller and Dr Mani Habibi. From your first video consultation to your follow-up back in the UK, you'll know exactly who is looking after you.
Our surgeons
You'll know your surgeon by name
At many clinics abroad, patients meet their surgeon on the morning of the operation. We do the opposite: your surgeon reviews your file personally, speaks with you before you book, performs your operation, and sees you every day of your hospital stay.
Prof Dr Nurullah Bulbuller
Professor of General Surgery · Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeon
A professor of general surgery with over three decades in the operating theatre, performing bariatric and metabolic surgery since 2007. Former clinic chief and chief physician at Antalya Training and Research Hospital, and Professor of Surgery at Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine.
Dr Mani Habibi
Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeon · General Surgeon
Fellowship-trained at two of the world's best-known minimally invasive surgery centres — Cleveland Clinic Florida under Dr Raul Rosenthal, and Ponderas Academic Hospital under Dr Catalin Copaescu, supported by a competitive EAES scholarship.
Bariatric surgery
Weight loss surgery options
Every procedure is chosen after a full metabolic assessment — never one-size-fits-all.
Gastric Sleeve
The most commonly chosen procedure. Around 75–80% of the stomach is removed, reducing both capacity and hunger hormone production.
Learn moreGastric Bypass
The gold-standard metabolic procedure, particularly effective for type 2 diabetes. We perform both Roux-en-Y and mini gastric bypass.
Learn moreRevision Surgery
Regained weight or complications after a previous procedure — in Turkey or the UK? We assess revision cases individually.
Learn moreGastric Balloon
A non-surgical option for mild to moderate obesity, with endoscopic and swallowable balloon systems.

Questions UK patients ask
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to have weight loss surgery in Turkey?
Safety depends on the surgeon and the hospital, not the country. Our procedures are performed by a professor of surgery and a fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon in a fully equipped private hospital in Antalya, with intensive care facilities on site. Published mortality rates in experienced bariatric centres are below 0.1% — comparable to gallbladder surgery.
How much does gastric sleeve surgery cost compared to the UK?
Private gastric sleeve surgery in the UK typically costs £9,000–£13,000. Our all-inclusive packages in Antalya are a fraction of that — see our prices page for current ranges in pounds.
Who will actually perform my operation?
Prof Dr Nurullah Bulbuller or Dr Mani Habibi — the same surgeon you speak with before booking. We never delegate operations to unnamed surgical teams.
What happens if I have a problem after I return to the UK?
You have scheduled video reviews with our team, a direct line for urgent questions, and written guidance you can share with your GP. If in-person care is ever needed, we help coordinate it.
