Gastric Sleeve Istanbul Province

I had sleeve gastrectomy surgery and my family members had eclipse balloons. It was a wonderful experience for us with the whole medical team led by Professor Ali, Nurse Sude, translator Mohammed, Ali Musthapa and nurses at Ward 3. They've been very meticulous and professional in attending to our medical needs. I would recommend their services to anyone who needs such professional medical attention and hygiene at very affordable prices. 😀

Everything was excellent! I am so thankful for the people there!

Dr Cem, Almira, Zeynep, Gökçe and the hospital team were brilliant for my entire bypass process. From booking to arriving in Istanbul I was greeted by the most beautiful Maybach van to travel to the hospital with another patient, who I am still in contact with 3 months later as we share our journeys! I was taken to a very smart and clean private hospital room where all of my observations were done by quick and talented nursing staff. We were then whisked away to see the cardiologist attending, have x-rays done and sign all of our elective forms subject to satisfactory results from pre-op testing. The surgeon will not proceed with any kind of procedure if these do not come back as satisfactory! It's important to note I was not asked to pay any more than my deposit until it had been confirmed that I was going ahead with the operation and all test results were accepted. I slept in the hospital overnight. The bed was pretty unforgiving on my poor hips but all hospital beds are the same! Designed for function, not comfort. The next morning I saw Dr Cem again to confirm I would be the second one going under for the op day, so took the chance to wish my new room neighbour good luck as he was going first. The surgery itself was over in a flash. I had a slight added complication that the top of my belly is surprisingly narrow underneath that chunky layer of fat and I think they had to move a few things around a bit to get the job done. The surgeon was great though, I came away with 4 tiny cuts and one drainage pipe. The drainage is removed after about two days, it can be a nuisance to tote around but it has a clip attached to it so you can hook it onto your clothing. The nurses are incredibly attentive and will do anything for you. I was never short of water or pain relief after my op. The night nurses check on you religiously through the early hours. I found it very hard being able to only sleep on my back for long periods. With a bit of Google Translate's help, I was provided with extra pillows to support my arms and blankets. The view and noises from the window were really good. You'll hear the call to prayer countless times during your stay and the area is peaceful and respectful around the hospital. There was never any shouting or honking etc, all very relaxing. The blinds in the room were thankfully adjustable as Turkish mornings are very bright! The nurses will have you up and walking in a matter of hours after the surgery. The private wing is quiet and calming, you have a grab rail along the entire hallway to cling to if needed and plenty of chairs to rest on! It also gives you a chance to socialise a bit with other patients. We had me, an Englishman, a Welsh couple, and a Polish lady all in the same corridor. There are only about 8 suites in the wing, and it's keypad locked so there's no one without a purpose wandering past your room! I saw Dr Cem multiple times during my stay. He made a point of visiting to have a chat at least once a day with all of his patients, and he's a kind and knowledgeable man. His English and German are both good and with the help of Google Translate, we had some good conversations about the next steps. After 3 nights in hospital, my neighbour and I were given a very comprehensive rundown on vitamins, shakes, liquid diets, probiotics and medication before being transported to the hotel for the remainder of our stay. You'll receive blood thinners, painkillers, stomach protectors, bandages, you name it! You'll also be added to a personalised WhatsApp group with your surgeon, coordinators and nutritionist. Gökçe reminds you every day of changeover when it comes to amping your food intake back up and provides helpful menus. I lived on kefir and high protein yoghurt for the first few weeks due to some med withdrawal issues. Things to note: - You'll be in a good amount of discomfort for a few weeks. - You will get constipated - You won't shower from the morning of your surgery until you get to the hotel. Take antiperspirant and easy changes of clothing to stay fresh! - Istanbul is buzzing and vibrant, but you may not get the opportunity to explore post-surgery. - Remember to book your flight assistance for the trip back! Better to have it and not need it than vice versa. The coordinators deserve medals. Almira was omnipresent and so sweet. There was nothing too much for her if you asked. Zeynep had her conversion sleeve to bypass surgery the day before we arrived and she was still there to greet us and see us off while she was recovering too, which I appreciated the effort her seeing as she should have been at home in bed! If you're concerned about doing it, don't be. There was never a moment where I didn't feel completely safe. I am now 35kg lighter after 3 months and I look forward to a bright future. SW: 154KG

Well just back from my gastric sleeve procedure in Istanbul and can not fault the service from arrival. All the staff encountered were extremely helpful. The surgeon was fantastic and very approachable as was dietitian. The what’s app group used has been great help as I certainly haven’t taken everything in and often ask my questions here.

I went with Apera Health Group for a gastric sleeve. From the first contact through to the first class transfer back to the airport, it was like clockwork. All staff from the coordinators, nutritionist, nursing staff to the surgeon were friendly, knowledgeable and patient. You are given a full body analysis and lots of pre-op tests to ensure it is safe to go ahead which really put me at ease. The hospital is immaculate, spacious and very efficient. You are given all of the medications and nutrition to take home so you just have to follow their guidance and its very straight forward. You are also added to your own WhatsApp group for support when you get home. A special thank you to Cansu, my translator at the hospital who was amazing and of course Dr Ertan. I'm excited for my journey now! Thank you Apera.

I had a gastric sleeve operation and I am really happy about everything because my doctor save my life. I can breathe easily right now and walk faster. Thank you to my lovely doctor and the hospital

They looked after me well and I'm healing very well without any problem. My stay was so comfortable and staff was so lovely and helpful and they speak English very well. My weight was a struggle for me for all my life. I needed to step forward and do something about it so I started searching weight-loss surgeries and came across the right clinic which is Clinic Center. I'm so glad I made the correct decision to use Clinic Center.

I had VSG with Clinichub on the 12/10/2020 and I couldn’t be happier with my results and the service I received from Clinichub. From the time I was picked up from the airport to surgery day I felt like I was in safe hands and if I had any questions; I always had someone to clarify things for me. The hotel was amazing and nurses and doctors check up on you regularly even at the hotel. Currently my dietician communicates with me on a daily basis and checks up on what I’m eating and how I’m feeling. I would definitely recommend Clinichub to anyone looking to have VSG surgery, you won’t be disappointed.

I can’t recommend this place enough! From the moment I stepped off the plane I was looked after and made to feel so welcome and safe. The surgeons were absolutely amazing, the nurses were attentive and so caring, I don’t have a bad word to say. If your like me and looking for a safe place outside the u.k to have surgery and change your life this the place to go. I will definitely be going back if I need any body contouring after I lose all this weight!

Highly recommend. I had a gastric ballon six months ago. I lost 20 kg with the support and great advices from Dietitian Nur. Dr Kaplan is a very good doctor with huge experience and always want the best option for patient. It was a good experience. Also good value for money.

I contacted Fatih Ozturk on a recommendation from a friend. Fatih organised everything from start to finish. All I needed to do was book my flights. The hospital and the team could not do enough for me very helpful. I went for gastric sleeve surgery, naturally I was a little weary. As soon as I met Fatih and got checked into the hospital I was at ease. The only word to describe it would be seamless. Thank you Fatih.

I had my gastric sleeve fitted through booking surgery in Istanbul. Every member of staff was so caring, helpful and attentive at all times. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. I definitely chose the right place to have the surgery and cannot recommend booking surgery enough.

I had my gastric sleeve about three month ago. I was an overweight girl; I was very anxious about it. I stopped all my social gatherings and gradually I was going into the depression phase. my best friend Dustin noticed all these changes in me, he asked me about the problems I told him. then he searched about the gastric sleeve from clinic bariatric. he took an appointment for me. we went to Istanbul and did my surgery. In just one-month I lost 28 kgs and as the day passes I will going to lose more body fats. thanks for clinic bariatric for solving my problems.

Hallo zusammen, ich wurde am 29.04.2023 operiert lief alles gut Alhamdulillah! Die 3 Tage danach waren angenehm ich konnte das ganze Krankenhaus erkunden da man ununterbrochen gehen sollte um die Luft aus dem Bauch zu bekommen😅! Ich kann Dr. Ceyhun Aydoğan sehr empfehlen hatte sich mir persönlich vor der Operation vorgestellt und danach war er auch 1x am Tag bei mir um sich nach mir zu erkundigen! Nach dem Abflug wieder in der Heimat wurde ich in eine Gruppe eingeladen, wo mir Schritt für Schritt alles erklärt wurde wie wann und was ich zu essen haben, mit den Phasen der Diät von Flüssig zur fester Nahrung! Bis heute bin ich in der Gruppe und kann nur großes Lob aussprechen an Ernährungsberaterin Amy, Ernährungsberaterin Nora und Post-Operative Beraterin Bahar da sie mir immer zur Seite standen bei fragen egal wann sie haben immer zügig geantwortet ob wohl ich manchmal zur sehr unpassend Zeiten gefragt hatte 😅! Steht’s professionell und kompetent! Ich kann die Klinik sehr empfehlen!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joseph as my patient representative at the hospital, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Joseph was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to ensure that I was comfortable and well-informed throughout my stay. He answered all of my questions and made sure that I was aware of all my options. Joseph made me feel like I was in good hands, and I really appreciated his kindness and compassion. I highly recommend Joseph as a patient representative, and I am grateful for the exceptional care he provided to me during my visit to the hospital.

Very responsive answers all kinds of questions. The operation went very smoothly, the dietitian with the Dr is lovely and explains everything thoroughly. Highly recommended
