Gastric Band Europe

I recently had an incredible experience with Dr. Osman Tuğrul Güzeldir and the team at Koru Private Hospital. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized by Mehmet Emin Karagöz, who ensured every detail was taken care of – from pick-up to scheduling appointments with the doctors, addressing my concerns, and making sure I was comfortable throughout the process. Dr. Osman Tuğrul Güzeldir was exceptional. He was well-spoken, straightforward, and took the time to clearly explain the procedure and what to expect. His professionalism and skill gave me complete confidence, and I am very happy with the results. The staff and facilities at Koru Private Hospital were equally impressive. The professionalism and care I received exceeded my expectations, making this a truly positive and seamless experience. Highly recommended!

I had a gastric sleeve done in May 2019. I have lost just shy of 5 stone in 1 year. I was very hesitant to do the operation at age 22 but it's the best decision I ever made. Mr. Awad was kind and efficient throughout and the Tonic team have been constantly supporting me. The op went very smoothly and the lift to and from the Derby hospital and London was such a considerate feature. The first 3-4 weeks are tough but completely worth it. I'm well adjusted to my new stomach now. I don't feel like I'm deprived of anything. I feel like now my body isn't always working against me and gaining weight disproportionately. I feel totally in control of my weight and have been quite effortlessly shedding kilos! Thank you Mr. Awad & Tonic for getting me to feel like myself again!

Cannot recommend this place enough! The doctor's, the girls at reception and everyone else. Top-quality customer service as well as amazing results. 👏

Very nice people. Informative experience talking with them. I really appreciate their kindness and candour. Also, their expertise in the field is comforting.

After speaking to Judith JobIing at Gastric Band Support Manchester (who I also highly recommend and who has been doing my fills for a couple of years) chose to go to Belgium for a replacement Gastric Band as mine developed a leak. She recommended Obesity Solutions and got in touch with Chris Deprez the Patient Care Manager on my behalf and he contacted me straight away. The process was very smooth and I had a couple of calls and Zoom meetings with him where he explained everything and answered all of my questions. It was such a different experience from the place I initially used for my Band and then subsequently for a breast reduction. I used The Hospital Group then changed its name I believe to Transform Hospital Group. (I would recommend people do not use this hospital, I have put reviews on their website.) I arrived in Belgium with my wife who was allowed to stay in the hotel provided for me at no extra cost. We were collected at the airport and dropped off at our hotel. Any other travel to and from appointments etc was provided in the cost and the driver even collected us from the train station after a day out in Brugge. All my appointments were on time and hassle-free. The morning of the operation I was collected at my hotel and dropped off at the Hospital at 7 am. By 7.45 am I was in the theatre and the operation was finished by 8.30 am. The nursing, admin and surgical staff were fantastic, they could not do enough for me. I was collected from the hospital at 1 pm and taken back to my hotel. I ended up just having a port replacement as that was the part that was leaking. Chris had explained that the Surgeon may do that after the leak was identified on an x-ray the day before. The pain was minimal straight after the operation and has virtually gone now after 1 week. I have had regular contact with Chris since the operation and getting back to England. I have an app on which I log my ongoing weight and I have direct access to Chris anytime. It also is full of other info regarding aftercare, diets, what to do etc. I am honestly overwhelmed with thanks to Chris, his team & the medical staff in Belgium. I also received a refund as the operation was not as big as I first thought. If I had to go for any further treatment, given the choice I would choose Obesity Solutions every time. Thank you so much, everyone.

Recently visited for Breast implant replacement. I have previously had breast implants in the UK and would recommend Europe surgeries over the service received in the UK. Would highly recommend it from start to finish. Aftercare was great daily check-ins in the morning. Consultation before surgery. Dr Adam did not insist on an uplift which I was very happy about as other clinics had pushed this and I wanted to avoid which made me feel at ease. Very happy with my results already day 8 post op!

June 2023. I am so happy I decided to have a full tummy tuck and my eyelids done. Three months on I am starting to see real results. Many people have commented on how healthy I look, fresh-faced, younger, which is a real compliment at the age of 62. Jackie will answer all of your questions and is a huge support throughout the process. She will hold your hand if needs be. The doctor is very professional and will tell you exactly what needs doing or not. He knows what he is doing and it shows. This clinic came highly recommended by a friend and I have since recommended it to others. I cannot praise their professionalism and care (before and especially afterwards) highly enough. If you are looking for an excellent cosmetic surgeon you have just found them.

I am thrilled with the results of my gastric sleeve procedure. Dr. Agrawal was always available to answer any questions and reassure me as a nervous patient from the very first consultation. He explained the process to me clearly and professionally, provided me with all the information I needed and helped me to set up all necessary appointments. I have lost 8 stone so far and vastly improved my quality of life, all thanks to Dr.Agrawal!

I love going to see this lady she is funny and accommodating. I will always go back to her. Thank you.

I am familiar with their centres in Switzerland. I have done multiple treatments and in particular the Thermage which I do every two years and it keeps the skin tight and firm. They are serious and competent professionals.

Very good clinic I'm very happy with them good treatment

Aida Masdeu has been the clinical co-ordinator for 3/5 of my gender-affirming operations, and I followed her founding Safe Rebirth for my most recent voice masculinization surgery (Type 3 Thyroplasty). This isn't through having a bad experience with any other co-ordinators, it's just that Aida is so damn good at what she does that after meeting her that I instantly trusted her with the future of my medical transition. If you're reading this and are interested in step-by-step of my Safe Rebirth experience I'll include this below, but please know that Safe Rebirth completely understands that gender-affirming surgeries aren't something clinical to 'just get done', and they don't treat these life-changing procedures as anything mundane (as you'll see a lot in England). Aida and Oscar are legendary-level allies, celebrating trans joy with the community. You can absolutely feel the love in their labour. Thank you so so much to the team for helping me to finally see myself after six years of struggling <3 When you've decided on a surgeon, Aida will liaise with the clinic. My initial consultation was done over Whatsapp with Aida translating if there are any communication barriers. I had my own questions prepped, but she had queries about my welfare and comfortability that I hadn't even thought of. You have the freedom to request a certain month, and they'll get back to you with available dates and payment information. I cannot stress enough that if even if Aida herself isn't nursing you, she WILL take care of you! She would always check in to make sure the clinic were communicating with me fully and transparently, that I was being offered the post-op therapies that I needed and paid for, and how I was feeling counting down towards the operation. She even checked in with me when I landed at the airport and again at the hotel, helping me navigate public transport in cases where I was unsure. I was travelling alone, but even at opposite ends of Spain Aida was making sure I was safe. I booked a hotel that Oscar recommended, and even though I paid for my room I still felt like I was being spoilt. Perfect location to walk to the hospital, the beach, the old town - it was honestly like a holiday. The staff there were also incredibly accommodating when I couldn't speak for the second half of my stay. Oscar gave me some recommendations of things to see tailored to my interests like art galleries and museums, and they were places I wouldn't have found on my own! The pre-op appointment, operation, and post-op recovery? Easy. If it's weird to say the experience has been enjoyable, then maybe I'm a total weirdo. All medical staff I've met in Spain are so friendly, assured, and relaxed - you're really put into good hands with the clinics you're offered. Aida would keep in communication until discharge, again to see you home safely, and now two weeks post-op we're still sharing in the excitement of how my voice is developing. Getting estimates, deciding on where to stay, knowing how to travel, struggling with language barriers, knowing what clinics are trustworthy, feeling anxious or unsure or even scared of what to expect, circumstances of being unable to trust anyone to rely on when going through such vulnerable yet monumental changes - all become non-issues with Safe Rebirth, and it's a service providing such needed compassion along the way too. I've done it on my own, I've done it through other services, but Safe Rebirth ensured that this huge moment in my life was stress-free and a happy experience :)
