Alika Health Group

After struggling with my weight for years, choosing Alika Health Group was one of the best decisions I've ever made. From the moment I arrived, everyone treated me with kindness and genuine care. Dr. Salim explained everything clearly, and the nurses and dietitians were always patient and supportive. I never felt like just another patient. The hospital was spotless, the hotel was comfortable, and the whole process was well organised. I'm already feeling healthier and more confident. I'm truly grateful to the entire team for making this journey so positive.

My cousin had a gastric sleeve at Alika Health Group first, and after seeing her positive experience and results, I decided to have my surgery there as well.

The medical staff truly is world-class, and the service is outstanding. As a hospital employee, I started doing my research, and I am really pleased with my choice of Alika Health Group.

Communication was excellent before the procedure and the trip to Turkey. Everything that was scheduled and promised came to pass when I arrived, and overall, the preoperative and postoperative care exceeded my expectations.

The surgeons themselves are kind and professional.
I stayed in Kızılay Hospital for 3 nights, and then I was discharged, and they transferred me to a 5-Star Hotel.
The all-inclusive package cost was very reasonable compared to the cost in the UK.
Today, after a month of the operation, I have lost approximately 9 kg, and I feel so much healthier already and can honestly say you couldn't find anyone more helpful and caring than them. We wouldn't get that in the UK.

I would recommend ALIKA HEALTH for anyone interested in weight loss.
Best wishes from London.

I came from London for my gastric balloon to be put in here. Ali, my agent, did everything, from the appointment to the transfers and the hotel. He is really polite, warm, helpful and replies quickly. From the very beginning, with their comprehensive medical evaluation, they truly make you feel that this is a personalised treatment. The endoscopic gastric balloon surgery was fast (about 10 minutes), and all the hospital workers were easy to work with, kind and transparent. The balloon will be uncomfortable at first but will settle in and will perform its work by occupying space in your stomach so you physically cannot eat as much before. After a few weeks it is still vital to have a healthy diet and exercise to get the best out of this. In these 6 months, really attempt to modify your bad eating habits, or the weight will simply come back, and this investment would be useless. Aside from that, it was really a 10/10 experience, and I would strongly recommend the clinic. I wish good luck who are thinking about getting a gastric balloon in Turkey, and without any hesitation, definitely go with Alika Health Group.❤️❤️❤️

Since my gastric bypass surgery on January 4, 2026, my life has undergone a major transformation. I was overweight and sad. I'm enjoying my life so much today because of Dr. Salim and Alika Health Group! I have already lost 41 kg (90 pounds) in just five months. I am currently 14 and a half stones instead of 21. The Alika Health team is excellent! Since I'm located in London, UK, I was rather anxious about having surgery overseas, but they were truly supportive during my stay. The aftercare team has been supportive throughout my weight loss journey, answering any queries and offering guidance. Thank you for being such a wonderful nurse, Rabia Yıldız. You are an excellent translator and dietician, Ceren Zengin. Thank you so much to the rest of the team. If you're searching for a bariatric surgery team and institution that is safe and encouraging, I recommend Alika Health Group💙

Honest feedback from my gastric sleeve after 8 months! I definitely suggest Alika Health Group if you're looking for the best location to have your gastric sleeve done!

They messaged me a comprehensive medical assessment form to fill out following our initial discussion, which covered my medical history, prescription drugs, past illnesses, and general health.

Surgeons individually examined all of my information and assessed whether or not I was truly a good candidate for bariatric surgery.He reviewed my form, determined which treatment would be best for me, and gave me the green light for gastric sleeve surgery.

After everything was verified, they helped me book my plane ticket and answered all of my questions before to my trip to Turkey.

From the second my wife and I arrived to Istanbul, we were completely taken care of.

The surgeon took time to see me both pre and post-operation and he is so friendly and caring.

Following the procedure, the medical staff cleaned and checked my wounds, gave pain medicine, did a leak test, and recommended walking and drinking lots of water. For a year, I also received aftercare that included medication, vitamins, protein shakes, medical guidance, a food plan, and a dietitian's support and regular online follow-ups with my surgeon.

In short, from the beginning to the end everything was impeccable, wonderful staff, amazing hotel, supplements and great aftercare after returning to UK.

2 weeks ago, I had the Medsil gastric balloon at Alika Health Group in Istanbul, and I can confidently say that the whole process exceeded my expectations. I have already lost 14 pounds. At first, I was so scared because this was my first procedure ever, and I’m sceptical about going abroad for this procedure since I work in healthcare myself. But I’m so glad I did. From the first contact with the team, to the recommendations, to the easy and well-organised transfers from and to the airport, to the warm, welcoming and professional team. Dr Salim and the team explained to me the whole procedure and went through a smooth procedure. The private hospital room, the diet provided and the hotel room were all well organised. Additionally, I really don’t think I would of got the care AND aftercare I still receive here in the UK. They are very experienced and strongly advised. If you're thinking about coming to Alika Health Group, this is your sign to go!!! Can’t thank them enough!!!💖💗🥰

In my opinion, Alika Health Group is the best in Turkey for weight loss. In August, I underwent VSG surgery at Alika Health Group. I had an amazing experience from the beginning. Communication was great and very swift. Everything went straight forward without a hitch. I got my surgery date and booked my flight from the UK to Turkey. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the private transfer chauffeur and taken to the hospital. The hospital was very clean, and my suit was very comfortable. The hospital's staff are very friendly and welcoming. On the day of my operation, I was relieved that all of the necessary in-depth examinations had been completed.

My surgery went very well, and I felt well cared for. I didn't have any concerns or second thoughts. Aftercare was also very good. I had no complaints. After returning to the UK, you can message the team and get rapid responses to any questions you may have.

I am now 9 months post op, and it is the best decision I’ve made in my entire life. I am incredibly grateful for this experience, and I can't express how deeply appreciative I feel. Since then, I have lost a total of 110lbs/50 kg and my life is forever changed. I recommended so many people to the clinic. I’m giving 5 stars to Alika Health Group even without a second thought.

My sister and I both had a gastric sleeve at Alika because we failed to lose weight with a regular diet and exercise, and this was our last chance to live healthier and happier lives.
Everyone is incredibly warm, understanding, encouraging, transparent, and ready to assist. Everything was discussed in detail during my stay, and Dr Salim, nurses, dieticians and the medical staff met with my sister and me regularly to go over everything we needed to know and to discuss any worries or questions we had. The staff are all very nice, but there is a small language barrier, which is to be expected. If you had any questions, you could message your coordinator or the WhatsApp group, and someone would come to help. 

There are not enough words to describe our gratitude to Dr Salim for giving my sister and me the opportunity to start over. We are incredibly thankful to have met you; you are really wonderful.

The dietitians were all really helpful; they went over everything we needed to do before and after surgery, including what medications we needed to take. They were all professional, attentive, and informative, in my opinion. They were ready to explain whatever we didn't understand. 

Both the hotel and the hospital were clean and beautiful.

We have no complaints at all regarding the care we received from Alika Health Group. We are so glad to meet you all! We are really excited about our new lives. THANK YOUUUUU 💌💌💌

I was recommended Alika Health Group by my coworker, who had a gastric sleeve in Istanbul, Turkey and had gone to this clinic three months prior to me. He lost about 27kg in 3 months and looked healthier, energetic and happier, so his results made me think this could be me too, and that gave me confidence to go ahead with my surgery with them.

I spoke with my coordinator via WhatsApp during our first consultation to go over prices, dates, and any other questions. They have been excellent answered all my questions excellently and I have no complaints.


It was honestly amazing how thorough they were before surgery. I had full blood tests, an ECG, lung function tests, and was checked by the internal medicine doctor as well as the anaesthesiology team. I knew right away that I had made the right decision and felt very safe.

Everything went smoothly with the operation! My stitches were done very nicely by Dr Salim, and right now the marks are barely visible, even though this is the second week after my surgery! Thank you all again, great team. If anyone is thinking of having surgery here, look no further, you are in good hands.💗

When I decided to have a bariatric surgery in Turkey, I came to Alika Health Group through the recommendation of a friend who had gastric bypass surgery with them. The team was attentive, caring and answered all my questions event the unusual ones😊.

Their support made me feel confident in my decision to choose Alika Health Group to my surgery. At first, they sent me a comprehensive medical form so that they could make an informed and responsible decision about my surgery and case.

They helped me arrange the flights and gave me a surgery date. Everything went so smoothly: the hospital and hotel were arranged, the driver got me up just where he told me, and the trip from IST airport to the hospital took only 25 minutes.

The hospital suit was beautiful, and the hospital itself was perfect. Nothing is an issue; staff are happy to assist with things like WiFi or additional blankets. 

Throughout my entire stay in Turkey, both in the hotel and the hospital, I felt incredibly cared for and supported. The dietitian sessions were very helpful and informative as you move forward with your new life. 
Overall, everything went without a hitch, so I have nothing bad to say. After a successful procedure, I've already lost 25 pounds in just three weeks. Dietitian Ceren and Dr Salim continue to support me. Thank you, Dr Salim, ❤️ and Alika. I'm so glad I chose you.


Greetings to all,
Alika Health Group was flawless from beginning to end.
They treat you like family right away, which is why I heartily recommend this clinic. They helped me at every stage of the procedure and treated me with kindness, respect, and real care throughout. Before traveling I was communicating with Ali, at anytime he replied, normally within minutes to answer any questions I had. At the moment my wife and I landed in Istanbul, we were completely taken care of. 
I underwent my operation after extensive pre op examinations, and everything went quite well. They also sent me home with my supplements and diet plan, so I knew exactly what to do for recovery. I'm still in contact with Dr Salim, the Alika team, and Dietitian Ceren, and they check in with me on a regular basis, which is really helpful and makes my recuperation a lot simpler.
Cannot recommend Alika Health Group enough.
✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hello. My husband and I travelled from London to Turkey to undergo gastric bypass surgery at Alika Health Group. I had a gastric bypass on March 29, 2026. Everyone, especially my doctor, Dr Salim, and coordinator, Mr Ali, as well as the dietitians and post-op nurses, was very professional. We never felt alone. The service was excellent from start to finish, and the package price was very reasonable. You’ve changed my life, thank you so much. Best regards from the UK.

I had a sleeve gastrectomy. The service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly attentive. The price was very reasonable, especially considering the level of care I received. Overall, I am really happy with my experience. My weight loss is going very well — I am now in my sixth month and by sticking to my diet plan, I have almost lost all my excess weight. Thank you so much for your care and ongoing support.
