Bariatric Surgery Clinics Maltepe

From the moment I enquired with Apera, they answered all my questions and were not pushy at all which I found a lot of the other places were. From the moment I booked until I got home there was regular contact and anything I needed in between I just had to message. After my flight, I was collected in a luxury transfer with WiFi and taken to the hotel for one night. The hotel was lovely and clean, I was given my pick up time for the morning when I would be taken to the clinic. Once I arrived at the clinic it was lovely inside, very bright and modern and things moved quickly. I was then transferred to the hospital. When I arrived at the hospital everything happened quickly in order to get the pre op tests done. The nurses were brilliant and hardworking and do their best to make you comfortable. The surgeon came to meet me and then later that day I was taken for surgery. Everything went well in the surgery and was then in the hospital for 3 days. Again the surgeon regularly checked on you and the nurses were very attentive. When I was finally discharged from the hospital I went back to the hotel for one night before my flight back in the morning. The hotel organised a trip for 7 of us to go to the grand bazaar. I honestly cannot thank all the staff at Apera. I travelled alone but made friends along my journey! If your thinking of booking it, do it!

On a whole I would say the service for the money, is really very good. It is also very efficient. I arrived in early evening and was advised I would go directly to hospital rather than the hotel so they could get my tests done early for the next day. Room wasn't quite ready when I got there but didn't have to wait too long. Tests were all done and before I knew it I had my procedure the following morning, bang on the time they had intimated. All went well and I felt pretty lethargic for first 8hrs or so but after that quickly improved. I was monitored on the hour every hour without fail. Room was pretty cold but had control of the thermostat so could change it as required. I went on my own and I would say that you have to be pretty strong minded to go through this, so I would suggest taking someone for moral support if you worry easily. There was a lot of talk about how previous patients had lengthy and good conversations with their surgeons. This was not the case with me. I never saw him for more than a minute on 3 occasions whereby he said. 1 "no water today" 2 " only 4 cups of water today." 3 " you have a big problem. " you're going to need a new wardrobe" lol. I do appreciate that he was very busy. 2 days after I was released to the hotel (which was excellent) and 3 days later returned home. I would note that there was no follow up after you leave the hospital. This I found a bit surprising and I think it would be good if they did. Just to see how your doing. Certainly for people who worry about giving themselves injections or even to discuss issues or pains that were prevailant after the surgery. I'm back home now and all of my family and friends are astounded at how well I looked considering the process. Few points of note for anyone considering. - I had to pay the 8% extra because I used a card to pay the outstanding balance. In the abundance of early info received through WhatsApp it did tell me this but I had missed it. - There is an option to pay for the years supply of Pantas tablets which you have to take every day. Note this is half the price.of buying them in the UK but was still unexpected. Or again I missed it in the info provided. - There is a risk of additional costs if you have a hernia for example, which is highlighted in another review so best to make sure you have the money available just in case. Anyway, I have tried to be as fair as I can and have no issue recommending Novemed to anyone wishing to have the procedure done. All in all a positive experience that I hope leads to even more positive results. Date of experience: December 29, 2022

I would give a 10 stars if would be possible. The entire experience has been amazing, from the moment we arrived in Turkey until now, 3 months later after the surgery. The medical team, medical advisors and all teams in charge of the after care has been impeccable. If you are thinking to make a gastric sleeve don't hesitate to come and be part of this amazing journey that for sure will change your life. Definitely the only thing I regret is haven't done it before.

If you are considering obesity surgery in Turkey, then Dr. Evren should be your doctor of choice. The whole experience from start to finish, is one of warm professionalism. Dr Evren makes you feel safe, comfortable and at ease; he works with and almost educates the patient before and after the surgery.
