What is GastricShape?
GastricShape is a bariatric (weight-loss) procedure that involves reshaping the stomach without cutting, removing, or using staples, thereby functionally reducing its capacity.
What Happens During GastricShape?
The stomach is accessed laparoscopically (minimally invasive surgery).
The stomach is not cut or removed.
No stapler (staple line) is used.
The inner wall of the stomach is folded and secured with sutures using an advanced technique.
As a result, the stomach functions as if it is smaller, and food passage becomes more controlled.
What is the Principle Behind the Surgery?
GastricShape does not truly reduce the stomach size; instead, it modifies the functional mechanics of the stomach:
✅ Reduced food intake capacity
✅ Faster sensation of fullness
✅ Prolonged gastric retention of food
✅ Positive effects on blood sugar and hunger hormones
Advantages of GastricShape
🔹 Lower risk because the stomach is not cut
🔹 No staple line → reduced risk of leakage
🔹 Stomach anatomy is preserved, as no tissue is removed
🔹 Less pain and faster recovery
🔹 Requires advanced surgical expertise (highly experienced team)
Who is a Candidate for GastricShape?
Generally:
Individuals with BMI between 30–45
Mild to moderate obesity
Those who do not want the risks associated with stomach resection or staples
Those seeking a less aggressive alternative to gastric sleeve surgery
A final decision requires:
Endoscopy
Blood tests
Nutritional assessment
Psychological evaluation
Expected Results After GastricShape
An average weight loss of 25–55 kg within 1 year can be expected.
Results improve significantly when combined with diet and exercise.
Long-term weight regain is possible with any method, which is why follow-up is crucial.
GastricShape vs Gastric Plication
GastricShape is an advanced, high-level technical version of gastric plication.
The common early postoperative symptoms seen in gastric plication — such as nausea, vomiting, pain, and lower weight loss — are significantly reduced in GastricShape.
Therefore, patients experience a more comfortable recovery and achieve faster and more effective weight loss.
Advantages of GastricShape Compared to Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
The stomach is not cut or removed → the procedure is reversible
No staple line → lower risk of leakage
Less pain and faster recovery
Stomach anatomy is preserved, with less impact on nutrient absorption
Lower complication risk (especially leakage or fistula)
Advantages of GastricShape Compared to Gastric Balloon
It is a permanent solution (balloons are removed, and weight is often regained)
Higher potential for weight loss
Better food tolerance → less severe nausea/cramping compared to balloons
Encourages lasting behavioral changes and long-term results
No foreign body remains in the stomach → lower risk of device-related complications

Testimonials
Sarah L. from UK
As a primary school teacher, I couldn't afford weeks of recovery time. I chose GastricShape because there was no cutting involved. I was back in my classroom within 4 days! I’ve lost 22kg in 6 months and my energy levels are higher than ever. It truly felt like a 'reset' for my stomach without the trauma of a major surgery.
Markus W. from Germany
The idea of having a part of my stomach permanently removed terrified me. When I found out about GastricShape and the fact that it’s fully reversible and uses no staples, I knew it was the right choice. 8 months later, I am 30kg lighter. I feel full with very small portions, but I feel safe knowing my natural anatomy is still intact.
Elena R. from UAE
I traveled to Turkey specifically for this procedure. I was amazed at how painless the whole experience was. No incisions meant no visible scars and almost no discomfort. The medical team was world-class. I'm now down 18kg and my blood pressure has finally normalized. This is the best investment I’ve ever made for my health
James D. from USA
I tried every diet for 10 years and always failed. GastricShape gave me the tool I needed to control my hunger. Since there are no staple-line risks or cutting, I felt much more confident undergoing this procedure than a standard sleeve. I’ve reached my target weight and, most importantly, I've learned how to eat correctly again. It changed my life.
Sophie T. from France
I researched weight loss surgeries for years, but the fear of permanent organ removal always stopped me. Discovering GastricShape changed everything because it is a non-surgical, suture-based method. The procedure was so smooth, and I felt zero pain. I’ve lost 25kg so far and finally have my confidence back without any surgical scars. It’s the perfect solution for those afraid of traditional surgery.
