Duodenal Switch Sisli

I had a BBL with Dr. Ersin Gonullu at Clinic Wise 12 days ago and I want to say that my experience from beginning to end (and still ongoing as I’m in recovery) has been EXCEPTIONAL. While my results aren’t final as I my surgery was very recent, my experience with the whole Clinic Wise team were amazing, a big thank you to Dr. Ersin, my coordinator Cleo, nurses Burcu & Fatma, assistants Rumeysa & Şafak and everyone else! I was very nervous since it was my first surgery and I was doing it alone but they all made me feel safe, cared for and well informed. Dr. Ersin even held my hand when I was on the operating bed because I was so so nervous, they were really so kind! Everything is very well organised from start to finish, with the transfers, great hotel, nurse visits and the hospital where they perform the surgery (Acibadem) is the best private hospital in Turkey. Cleo kindly answered to my million questions about the surgery prior to booking and Dr. Ersin was very calm and ensured natural results (natural results was a very important factor for me). There’s no denying that the BBL surgery isn’t an easy surgery, it’s a major surgery, it was tough mentally for me, I didn’t have much pain because they ensure you have enough meds for that, no matter what surgeon you choose the surgery isn’t an easy one but the team at clinic wise will make the whole experience as smooth as possible. I will attach a before op photo and 9 days post op photo. Since its only 9 days after, the results aren’t final but so far I’m extremely happy with the results. FYI, I had lipo on my stomach, back, arms, armpits, inner thigh and chin, I wanted to create a natural bum and some shape on the hips. I’m considered a ‘skinny’ patient which is more challenging for surgeons but Dr. Ersin is extremely skilled and experienced and I believe he did a very good job. Advice for people travelling to Istanbul to do a BBL, I would extend your stay at the hotel a few days more before flying home, I stayed 6 days post op, but the flight home was very uncomfortable, my legs were extremely bruised and swollen so sitting on the bbl pillow for a 3 hour flight was painful. I would advise patients to extend their stay a few days extra, that would be ideal in my opinion. My quote was 5750€ + 500€ For extra lipo areas, which I added 3, so the total was around 7,250€. (That includes, hotel, all transfers, Fajas, compression wear, lipo boards etc)

Now is one year of my sleeve gastric, and I've lost 32 kilos. Professor Burak is a good professional. His team is wonderful they changed my life.

I had the operation 11 weeks ago. Perfect results. 19 kg less, never hungry and so far no problems. Above all, wonderful people. From the very beginning until today. Great team, wonderful and professional doctor who literally every one of my slightest doubts immediately knew how to remove it with a great explanation. The most important thing is that everything that was said and agreed upon before the operation is being implemented to this day. Nur and Dr. Kaplan are always here, literally 24/7 for every question I have. One big thank you for the new life. They are recommended everywhere because they definitely deserve it!!!

I flew from the UK 14/02/24 for loop bibartician, Faith the co ordinator was amazing from me querying to booking everything, didnt hesitate to answer any of my questions at all. The transfer was there ready and waiting, took us straight to the hospital. I was booked in and taken up to my room. The hospital, ward was absolutely spotless, me and my auntie was given a 3 course meal straight away at 9pm and I had to fast from midnight. I Cannot fault the care I had from start to finish, the nurses were exceptional and couldn't do enough, Doctor Bora is one of the nicest gentlemen I have ever met, I saw him quite a lot throughout my stay during my pre-ops, surgery and post-surgery, the dietician was so lovely and went through my diet plans with me and even organised for me to have protein powder delivered to my room(£35 for 30 servings) The pre op tests were so thorough and the whole experience of going down to theatre on surgery day 16th was completely professional. Faith messaged me good luck for my operation and messaged to see how I was after. I cannot fault anything and my whole experience was way more than expected .. Im now 6 days post op and feeling so good cant wait to have my first weigh in tomorrow. No regrets at all .. Go for it!
