Bariatric Surgery Clinics Worldwide

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. 😀

Just 3 months ago, I made the best decision. I had gastric sleeve surgery. If you’re thinking about it just make sure you’re mentally ready. I've lost 25 kgs over 3 months. I still continue to lose. My surgery was a success, I'm really happy with my decision. Can't thank my doctor and the whole team enough.

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

Had surgery with Dr Zubayer. From arranging everything to having the surgery everything was easy and the care was excellent in the main. My biggest bug bear was the language barrier. Sometimes asking for pain or anti sickness medication was an issue but can’t fault the efforts of the staff otherwise. The Dr also decided to add some tests when I was in the hospital which we found out on discharge came at an extra cost. Blood, gas and a breathing test cost £250. There are also different terms for foods like clear liquids doesn’t necessarily mean see-through. It means smooth and thin. On discharge, was given a meal plan but the meat broth wasn’t available in the hotel so had to make use of protein water I brought from home. My wife came with me but struggled to eat the food in the hospital as it was very carb based and she has also previously had a sleeve so needed more protein.

Apera Health group from the start of my journey have been excellent. Great communication throughout VIP transfer from airport to the excellent very clean and professional service at the hospital in Antalya. I had gastric band removed (fitted 2009 in Belgium) and sleeve Operation 7th June 2022. Anyone thinking of traveling to Turkey, Apera Health group is the one I would use from experience and very reasonable price

I had a gastric sleeve operation I felt normal after the operation but if you want to eat something you can't eat so much You are eating just what you need. It feels really good that I have lost 28 lbs so far. I am really happy and thank you for that.

Well, how can I start. I was so mediocre before get this treatment. I am like 5'4 and was like 236 lbs. I have doubts on my mind and never been able to chance to feel myself brave to get this treatment. Finally, I made my decision and start to make my research. I found Clinic Center on Instagram and started to read comments on trust pilot. Hence, the number of comments on trust pilot is high and the rating score was high, that encourage me to contact with them. All I can say is it was an excellent service from talking about my options to having the operation. The salesperson was really concerned and answer my all doubts, the doctor and the patient service was amazing, and I always felt like I was at home. After surgery, I was starting to loose weight after surgery. It has been like 3 months since I got my surgery. Thanks for Clinic Center to help me getting this hard procedure without getting trouble. I would reccomend other patients Clinic Center conveniently. I know its a really hard decision but I said to myself it's better to get done this surgery. Thanks for everyone in Clinic Center

Ich hatte vor 1 Monat meine Nasen Op bei Dr. Kadri, und bin so zufrieden. Er ist genau auf meine Wünsche eingegangen, ich kann ihn nur empfehlen. Mein Aufenthalt war auch super angenehm. Auch ein Riesen Dankeschön an Bilge, die sich während der Op und im Anschluss um mich gekümmert hat und mir bei allem weiterhelfen konnte.

Fabulous place, all staff very helpful! Buse helps you throughout your journey xx

I had a breast implant and uplift. From the minute we were picked up at the airport and until we flew home, everyone involved in….the planning. The surgeon, aftercare, nurses were all amazing. Everyone is apprehensive about having a procedure especially away from home, we were reassured and treated with dignity and respect. I will not hesitate to use this company again. Thank you Alexandra as nothing was to much trouble for you. We cannot thank you enough.

I have recently been for my gastric sleeve over in Antalya with the Lovely Irem and her team. I really couldn't fault them one bit. everything was so smooth from arriving at the airport to the transfers to the hotel to be looked after by the lovely nurses. I had no problems Irem explained everything to me and put me at ease. Wouldn't recommend anybody else. Thank you so much again Irem for all that you did for me.

I came over to turkey from London in September to have a gastric balloon fitted. My experience in turkey was very good. My patient counselor/advisor was Rosa she is a really lovely lady and very helpful.

Everything went amazing with the surgery. Sezin and Dr Metin Karadeniz were amazing. Kept informed the whole way. 9 weeks post op and 16 kg down.

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.

Great care. A brilliant team. Really helpful with good communication of the procedure.

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 wanted the gastric sleeve as I felt it best fit my needs. Seriously morbidly obese having yo-yo’d for 30 years. The clinic had been recommended by 2 people that I know. Before attending the lovely Nesrin answered every question I raised which was very comforting. I answered their Qs and they agreed the sleeve was the best option. I went to the clinic on 2nd Nov, had all the pre-op tests, they were very through. The op was the following morning - no time to get nervous everyone was so friendly and matter of fact- next thing I know I’m waking and a few hours later walking the hospital corridor, plenty of hand rails if you are feeling a little wobbly! 4 days later and I’m checking out with a bag of meds and vitamins - although 😂 they weren’t going to let me go if I didn’t suck up the balls on their little contraption!! I’ve given 5 stars - yes a handle in the bathroom would be useful but the staff were attentive, the docs visited every day and the nurses were lovely. Prof Nurullah, Dr. Mani and their team have my sincere thanks as I’m now on my way to a “New Me!”
