All went smoothly and the care was absolutely amazing

5 50 Gastric Sleeve • Paid: ₺81023

I had gastric sleeve surgery at Apera 10 months ago and I’m 7 stone down, best thing I've ever done! Didn’t have any problems whatsoever, all went smoothly and the care was absolutely amazing! Beautiful hotels and the hospital was so nice! I was really nervous and scared before I went but as soon as I got there I felt safe🙂 the nurses were brilliant too.

Thanks, Apera for changing my life for the better

Every member of staff that I came across was absolutely lovely and super efficient

5 50 Gastric Sleeve • Paid: ₺81023

I can't fault Apera at all.

The care received after the surgery was phenomenal and I've definitely not had that experience on the NHS. If I pressed my bedside bell, they were at my side within seconds, they were gentle and kind and even with a language barrier they tried their best to communicate. Even going as far as using Google Translate at times. Every member of staff that I came across was absolutely lovely and super efficient. I was petrified of going abroad for surgery especially because of scaremongering in the news but I have zero regrets and would do it again tomorrow. The service of everything was amazing, hotels were fabulous, transfers were lovely as well as all of the drivers. Nothing was a bother for them. I still can't believe the price I paid for the service I received. One thing I would say is the efficiency of staff can sometimes feel like a rush but I don't believe that this impacted the experience at all, the reason I mention it is because if you are nervous this might worry you, particularly before the surgery and when it comes to being discharged. Please don't worry about this, they really are just very efficient and good at what they do.

I can't thank Apera and all of the surgical and nursing team enough for looking after me so well and giving me a new lease of life. I truly wish I'd done it sooner. I would 100% recommend Apera for sleeve surgery!!! If you are travelling alone, don't be worried as you go for surgery in groups and I have made lifelong friends with the girls I was grouped with. We have supported each other during and after the surgery and keep in touch regularly and can't wait for our first in person trip for a well-deserved shopping trip. We got up close and personal fast particularly when we were all vulnerable straight after surgery and we never once felt we were alone!! One piece of advice is make sure you have extra dressings in for when you arrive home as you will want to shower more than the amount you are provided with. They are cheap enough online or from home bargains. I will absolutely be going back to Apera when I reach goal weight for plastics because I felt so well looked after so I think that says it all.

Hi Ms. Emma! Lovely to hear you've had a great experience! It's always our goal to make you feel safe, happy and taken care of :)

I felt safe right throughout the whole experience and so well looked after

5 50 Gastric Sleeve • Paid: ₺81023

I had a gastric sleeve procedure at the end of September and the whole experience was amazing. I felt safe right throughout the whole experience and so well looked after. Not only was I well looked after but also my companion was looked after too. Any concerns and worries were soon quashed once I knew I was in expert hands. I chose Apera as a friend had been and had a gastric sleeve procedure twelve months prior and looked amazing. It wasn’t all about how I looked but also about how I felt. I felt old, tired, slow and sluggish and had a lot of knee pain carrying extra weight. Now I feel like I’ve been given a second chance. Thank you so much Apera, I’m so happy to feel like my old self and have so much more energy.

All the staff, translators and medical team are amazing

5 50 Gastric Sleeve • Paid: ₺81023

I had gastric sleeve surgery with Apera last April. All the staff, translators and medical team are amazing, so friendly and caring. Pre-op I was advised liver reduction diet a week before surgery. On arrival I was advised about fasting for pre-op, I was measured and weighed and had a heart scan before surgery.

The surgeon took time to see me both pre and post-operation and he is so friendly and caring. After the op, the medical team gave pain medication and performed a leak test, cleaned and checked my wounds and advised drinking plenty of water and walking. I also received aftercare with medicine, vitamins, protein shakes medical advice diet plan and nutritionist support for 1 year. I was looked after as soon as I came off the plane I had included transportation with my companion to and from the airport, hotels, clinic and hospital so there was no worrying about transport.

My experience with Apera overall was amazing and would highly recommend it.

doctor and medical team very hard and also make it difficult to allocate the necessary time

and effort for each patient. Dr Cengiz, who's been working with Apera Health Group for a

very long while, is the backbone of all operational processes. Al of our patients are checked

up and cleared to undergo this procedure by Dr Cengiz.

Dr Cengiz is our Bariatric Medical Team Coordinator, responsible for planning, following

and completing all bariatric surgeries. He takes the time to follow each patient's condition

and works meticulously. As we are quite successful in bariatric surgeries and are chosen by

hundreds of patients monthly for these operations, our expert doctors can complete the

surgeries while Dr Cengiz closely follows each

operation. Afellow partner of Apera Health Group,

Dr Cengiz is behind thousands of successful operations through years as the supervisor of

more than 10 expert doctors and 120 medical staff, he is always on duty before, during and

after the surgeries and all medical procedures. This arrangement can allow us to make room

for more patients who are eager to jump into the healthier era of their lives.

You can always contact our patient representatives for more information regarding

surgical processes.
