Revisional Bariatric Surgery Kagithane

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.

Very good team and excellent service. Perfect treatment.

After years of trying to lose weight unsuccessfully, I decided surgery to be the best option. I chose the gastric sleeve surgery after researching various options. Going abroad for any procedure can be quite daunting, but I can honestly say the level of medical care and attention; not to mention the cost, means the pros outweigh (no pun intended) the cons. Once I made the decision to go ahead with the gastric sleeve surgery abroad I sent a request for information through Whatclinic. I was contacted by several clinics, each with varying prices and levels of care. It was only after speaking with Ibrahim of Clinichub that I felt reassured about the procedure. Ibrahim and the Clinichub team displayed knowledge and commitment answering all queries and concerns I had. Contact was regular and the whole process was made easy. Upon arriving in Istanbul all arrangements were in place. Transport, accommodation, surgery, and aftercare. The whole experience was taken care of, so I and my partner who traveled with me were stress-free. Clinichub also provided a liaison to help and translate when needed (thank you Fatima) and to Bashar who was very helpful, as my partner will now be returning to the Clinichub team in the summer for a procedure. The hospital arranged by Ibrahim was modern and the staff were very helpful throughout our stay. The surgeon Dr. Gurdal Oren would regularly come by for a chat and check on my recovery. I can't thank Ibrahim and the Clinichub team enough for making this such a wonderful experience. Your kindness and professionalism will always be appreciated. Again thank you so much and see you in summer.
