Gastric Balloon Europe

I came out to Istanbul for a RnY revision due to issues with loss of satiation although I was still only able to consume limited portion sizes, vomiting after meals, loose stools and abdominal pain after most meals. My previous surgery was 14 years ago and I had successfully lost 17.5stone, with weight regain of five and a half stone. Of which I had managed to lose two stone through intense daily exercise and restrictive calorie intake. But all of the other symptoms were still there. After talking to Dr Murat, he knew instantly what my problem was and discussed a candy cane resection, a reduction of the gastric pouch and possible bypass of further bowel. Within four weeks from initial communication, of which was thorough, with long phone calls with the surgeon himself and instant answers 24 hours a day to any questions I may have had. I was out in Istanbul and having my preoperative assessments on the morning of the surgery. I was able to arrange my own hotels with the view of a holiday as well as surgery. Although the hotel included in the package was sufficient I wanted luxury and booked the Hilton in Bosphorus. The team were not phased by this and just adapted transfers etc. The hotel was clean, the rooms were very large and allowed for recovery in peace and pleasant surroundings. The staff at the hospital do have limited English, so I would recommend a translator on google on your phone which worked for myself a number of times. The whole procedure was smoothly run, Dr Murat was wonderful, explaining everything clearly and his English is great, this allowed for any queries to be resolved quickly. His team are friendly and professional and have been there every step of the way. The costing was simple and taken care of without fuss or error. My actual procedure turned out to be more complicated than expected due to a giant hernia they found on the day, Dr Murat dealt with this with skill and amended the procedure as required, no extra charges etc. Just very precise surgery. I personally work in the medical field myself and I can give nothing but praise for the treatment I was given. My surgical site after four days is perfect. I am up and about and now staying in a wonderful hotel called George's which I'd advise for sightseeing with reduced walking. Very romantic and a treat for my husband after he slept in the room with me at the hospital for three nights on a sofa bed. I'd definitely advise the services of Dr Murat and his team any day of the week, I feel like my problems have been recognised and approached after many years of eating like a mouse and still gaining weight, whilst having life-altering side effects.

Dr. Hasan and his entire team were so amazing and very experienced in gastric surgery. They are all professional, kind, caring, and ensured I made the correct decision in getting the surgery done. I would recommend him to anybody who may be considering having gastric surgery, as I am sure they would have excellent experience.

I chose this doctor from my online research of Bariatric surgeon. I chose to have the gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey to save money as I couldn’t afford it in Ireland. I have had first-class treatment from the first point of contact with English speaking staff that answered all my questions promptly. I was collected from Istanbul airport and taken to the hospital where I had blood done and pre-op tests. On day 3 I had the surgery - I was quite sick afterwards as I have a very weak stomach and I’m prone to vomit after anaesthetic but after 4 days I was feeling perfect. The doctor, nurses and nutritionist have been great I’m steadily losing weight 3 months post-op I’m down 23kgs with no complications and I was back at work after 6 days. I will be travelling back to the hospital with my family member to have the same sleeve surgery next week. I would highly recommend this doctor and his team for their professional work and satisfaction guaranteed in my experience. It has been life-changing and I look forward to my future health and weight loss. I’m still under the supervision of the doctor and nutritionist for 2 years post-op. I would highly recommend this team for surgery.

I was so nervous because having obesity surgery is really dangerous. But the hospital, doctors and whole Medassist team was extremely helpful. They didn’t leave me alone and took care of everything.

I went to KCM for a Gastric Balloon. Picked up by their staff in a lovely clean car for the 70-mile journey. Taken straight to our hotel just out of town which was outstanding (all inc in the price of the procedure). Settled in and then collected for tests and to meet my medical English speaking contact Evelin. Made to feel very welcome and put at ease. After tests, my wife and I walked around the old town and new shopping centre before being taken back to the hotel. I was collected the next afternoon for my procedure. I was asked several times if this is what I wanted to do because of nausea that would most likely follow. I was in and out in 3 hours, the procedure only takes 10 minutes. Taken back to the hotel and 2 days later taken back to the airport for a flight home. I was in contact with Evelin every day as she rang to see how I was and if I needed anything. Travelling abroad for procedures like this is worrying but everything was great, the staff and Drivers were friendly. I would definitely recommend this Clinic. I go back in 12 months to have the Balloon removed or earlier if I decide. Again the transfers from the airport and hotel stay are already paid for as it’s in the inclusive package price.

I have just had a revisional sleeve in April at the Private Eskisehir Anadolu hospital which has been an overall positive experience, and good value for money. I choose this hospital due to a family member having her gastric sleeve done there in 2017, and she recommends it to me. Everyone I met during my stay from the doctors to the nurses and cleaners where very warm and welcoming. Sevim my patient supervisor was exceptional, she was very informative, pleasant, answered all my questions and concerns, which made my experience stress free. Dr Jenk was very warm, pleasant and calm which made me feel happy and confident. Overall my experience at Anadolu Hospital has been an excellent one, and I would highly recommend them. Thanks, everyone you all done an excellent job.

I had a balloon implant in Istanbul at a great price, top facilities and excellent communication before and after. Throw in a little holiday to Turkey while you're at it and it's worth the trip! Highly recommend!

I was struggling to lose weight all my life and made a decision to have a weight loss surgery. I was looking for a clinic in the UK, but since the price was quite high I’ve decided to shop around abroad and came across Bariatric Service in Lithuania. On 2nd if August I had a Gastric Bypass surgery done by Prof. Antanas Mickevicius. I made an online enquiry and coordinator Viktorija got in touch with me. Viktorija was amazing from the very first contact and answered all my questions and concerns. Prof. Antanas Mickevicius was very friendly, observant, and understanding. Surgery went smoothly and aftercare was absolutely brilliant. He did an amazing job and I’m really thankful. Prof. Antanas Mickevicius and staff have the best customer service I have ever experienced! I highly recommend Bariatric Service to anyone seeking a first-class surgeon for weight loss surgery.

I was checking online for clinics that offered gastric balloon surgery and The European Weight Loss Centre appeared in my search. Most of the reviews for this clinic were positive and past patients only had good things to say about the doctor. The patient feedback I read was really accurate and I’m happy with what I experienced at this clinic. I can see the results now, even if my first-month post-surgery was challenging. The clinic was nice and clean and the doctor who carried out my surgery was excellent. The only problem I have is that I’m now running out of medication and replacing this medication is difficult given that the language on the box is Czech. The pharmacist in my hometown could only recommend some alternative medication because he could not read the box to determine what I actually need. This is a problem as I must use these meds every day. However, I was meant to check back with the clinic after two weeks and I haven’t yet had the chance. I should probably give them a call so that they can advise me. During the first month after my surgery, I experienced some problems, but I think this is mainly because I wasn’t following a proper diet plan yet. I also think I need to do some work on my part to improve the weight loss results, like incorporating exercise into my lifestyle for example. I was told that my weight should start decreasing by the first or second month after my treatment. I need to return in six months for a follow-up. It’s worth mentioning that this clinic has an English translator available. During my visit, the translator relayed all the important information to me regarding my surgery, how long I would need accommodation for and the types of food that would be available to me. I thought this translating service was absolutely vital.

I had a tummy tuck with lipo on my sides. Obviously, after having 3 kids things were not the same and I needed a confidence boost. It's the best thing I've done. The difference was noticeable straight away. The staff was very accommodating and professional. Dr. Adamson is the best. Fantastic surgeon, and very nice to talk to. Very good experience, clean and nice food.
