What a fantastic experience.

Upon landing in Antalya we were met by a private transfer driver who drove us in comfort to the hospital (real hospital, not a small clinic). There I met Irem who welcomed myself and husband warmly and spoke excellent English. She answered all questions and was able to calm my nerves entirely. Irem was incredibly knowledgable - with her own nursing experience - so we knew I was in good hands.

In 2 hours of arriving at the (very clean) hospital, I had received a multitude of physical health tests using high-tech equipment - these tests would have taken place over months in the UK so I was impressed!

The facilities were clean, tidy and the staff extremely friendly. Our private en-suite rooms were cleaned regularly, with fresh towels and blankets every day, if not more often. My husband who travelled with me was offered 3 meals per day from the hospital.

I met the surgeon - who performs bariatric surgery solely - who was very friendly and encouraged questions. He explained, with the help of Irem, what was going to happen and how long I would be in surgery etc.

On the day I was taken to surgery, everything went perfectly well. I was monitored by the loveliest nurses very regularly to ensure my post-op condition was good. Nothing was too much trouble, they are so efficient and all procedures were done absolutely as you would see in the UK (just quicker).

I had a 1-2-1 conversation with a dietician who explained my wasting journey post-surgery I’m great detail. I was given a giant bag of vitamins, protein powders, literature regarding my surgery - what to expect etc and a comprehensive copy of my medical notes.

I was taken by private transfer to the hotel, which was lovely in a fabulous location. Myself and husband were very comfortable throughout.

I would recommend this company wholeheartedly. I think there is always the worry about “going abroad” for surgery, but I was so impressed by the efficiency, cleanliness, friendliness and knowledge of the team throughout.

I believe you get more than what you pay for and I am very excited to start my new weight loss journey post-surgery.

I am now home with no residual pain, just getting used to my new diet and tiny tummy.

Thanks all! Really appreciate you x

A gastroenterologist is a specialist in diagnosing and treating diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Common conditions treated include IBS, Crohn's disease, and gastritis. They play a critical role in the care of patients post-bariatric surgery, helping manage complications and ensuring proper digestion.
Always consume lean protein first, non-starchy vegetables second, and high-fiber carbs or a healthy fat source last. Try to consume at least 64 ounces of hydrating fluids. Avoid added-sugar drinks, carbonation, and excessive caffeine. Consume alcohol in moderation.

Similar to a GI doctor, a "gastro dr" refers to a specialist in gastroenterology. Patients typically see these specialists for issues related to digestive health, such as ulcers, acid reflux, or liver disease. They perform diagnostic procedures like endoscopies or colonoscopies to identify and treat conditions. For bariatric surgery patients, gastroenterologists can help manage complications that arise from surgeries like the Roux-en-Y or gastric band.
Weight-loss injections such as Saxenda or Wegovy can lead to side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, patients may experience gallbladder issues or pancreatitis. It’s important to monitor for side effects and adjust dosage as needed under medical supervision.
Caffeine can be a stomach irritant, causing discomfort in the abdominal area which can, in turn, complicate early recovery after bariatric surgery. Caffeinated food and drinks can cause weight regain.
Nausea, abdominal pain & vomiting - This is one of the acute effects of eating too much after gastric bypass. These symptoms can appear at any time post-op but are most common in the first few months post-op, particularly during the post-op recovery diet.
Sleeve gastrectomy is a weight-loss surgery that involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving a tube-like sleeve. This limits food intake and promotes hormonal changes that support weight loss. It’s a permanent procedure and is one of the most commonly performed bariatric surgeries worldwide.
New Zealand patients have shared their experiences with the gastric balloon, with many reporting successful weight loss results. However, there are also accounts of discomfort during the first few days after the procedure. Reviews from New Zealand also highlight the importance of finding a skilled and experienced doctor to ensure the best possible outcome.
Weight-loss surgery, or bariatric surgery, includes procedures like gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric banding. These surgeries are recommended for individuals with severe obesity who have not been able to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.
The average cost of gastric bypass in Turkey is $3,500, Because of fewer complications, gastric bypass surgery costs less in Turkey than in other countries. That is because surgeons in Turkey have more experience performing these procedures than those in North America or Europe.
