Op.Dr. Mustafa Erol / DR.MECLINIC

had revision bariatric surgery with Dr. Mustafa Erol after a disappointing experience in the UK years ago. I was nervous because my first operation hadn’t delivered the results I hoped for, so trust was a big issue for me. Thankfully, Dr. Mustafa approached everything carefully and honestly. He reviewed my previous surgery in detail and explained why certain problems had happened.

The care I received in Izmir felt very personal. I wasn’t treated like a number or rushed through appointments. The staff were warm and supportive, especially during the first night after surgery when I was feeling anxious.

Physically, recovery was smoother than my first operation back home. I experienced very little pain and no nausea at all, which surprised me. I was able to walk comfortably within hours.

Now, around eight weeks later, I already feel healthier and lighter. More importantly, I feel mentally stronger because I finally believe I’m moving in the right direction again. Choosing Dr. Mustafa was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself.

I travelled from Leeds to Izmir for my gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Mustafa Erol after years of struggling with my weight. I had tried slimming clubs, calorie counting, injections, and even personal trainers, but nothing lasted long-term. Before travelling, I was honestly terrified about having surgery abroad. My worries disappeared quickly after arriving at the hospital. Everything was organised properly and the staff treated me kindly from the beginning.

Dr. Mustafa was calm, professional, and very patient when answering my questions. I never felt rushed during consultations. The surgery itself went smoothly and recovery was easier than I expected. I was walking the same evening and only had mild discomfort during the first couple of days.

It’s now been just over two months and I’ve already lost a significant amount of weight. I sleep better, move more easily, and feel more comfortable in my own body again. For the first time in years, I finally feel hopeful about my health and future.

Coming from Australia, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from having medical treatment in Turkey. Travelling that far for a procedure felt like a big decision, and I had plenty of nerves before I arrived. But my experience with Dr. Mustafa Erol and his team turned out to be much smoother and more reassuring than I imagined.

From the airport pickup to the hospital stay, everything was well organised. I travelled on my own, so the small things really mattered — being checked on regularly, having someone explain each step, and feeling like I wasn’t just another patient. The hospital was clean and modern, and my room was comfortable, which made the whole experience feel a lot less stressful.

Dr. Mustafa was calm, honest and easy to talk to. He explained things in a simple way and never made me feel rushed when I had questions. The nurses were also kind and attentive during my stay.

What I appreciated most was the support after I went back to Australia. Whenever I had a question during recovery, the coordinator replied quickly and helped put my mind at ease.

Now, three months later, I feel much more confident in myself. I’m happier in photos, more comfortable socially, and overall, I feel like this experience gave me a fresh start.

Coming from London, I didn’t know what to expect from medical treatment in Turkey, but my experience with Dr. Mustafa Erol completely changed my perspective. From the airport pickup to the hospital discharge, everything felt professional and organised. I travelled alone, which made me nervous, but the team constantly checked in on me and made sure I never felt unsupported.

The hospital itself was modern and extremely clean. I had my own spacious room, and the nurses were attentive throughout my stay. Dr. Mustafa visited regularly and explained everything clearly without using confusing medical language.

What impressed me most was the aftercare. Even after returning home to the UK, I could message the coordinator with questions and receive replies quickly. That level of support made a huge difference emotionally.

Three months later, my confidence has improved massively. I’m more active, my energy levels are better, and I no longer avoid photos or social situations. It genuinely feels like I’ve been given a fresh start.

I travelled from Manchester to Izmir for my gastric sleeve with Dr. Mustafa Erol after spending years struggling with my weight and confidence. I honestly expected the process abroad to feel stressful or rushed, but it was the complete opposite. From the moment I landed, everything had already been organised for me. The driver was waiting at the airport, the hospital check-in was smooth, and the staff made me feel welcome immediately.

What stood out most was how calm and genuine Dr. Mustafa was. He never pushed anything and answered my questions in a very straightforward way. I appreciated that because I didn’t want false promises. The surgery itself went much easier than I imagined and I was walking later that same evening.

It’s now been around 10 weeks and I’ve already lost a noticeable amount of weight. More importantly, everyday things like climbing stairs or sleeping properly no longer feel exhausting. I feel healthier, lighter mentally, and far more confident than I did before making this decision.

Everything was done with military precision. I arrived at the hospital late at night and was immediately welcomed and taken for tests. ECG, bloodwork, chest X-ray — all completed within an hour. The next morning, I met with all the doctors: the surgeon, cardiologist, anaesthetist — they answered all my questions. The surgery went so smoothly, I was shocked at how fast I recovered. No nausea, no vomiting, just slight discomfort for the first few hours. I stopped using painkillers after the first day. It’s been 7 weeks and I’ve dropped nearly 3 stone.

When I first considered bariatric surgery, I was terrified. Travelling abroad for a medical procedure seemed risky, but the moment I arrived in Izmir, my fears began to fade. Dr. Mustafa Erol greeted me personally before the operation, taking time to answer every question I had. The hospital was pristine — it felt more like a luxury hotel than a clinic. I was surprised how quickly I recovered: just two hours after surgery, I was up and walking, and I didn’t experience any nausea or severe pain. The staff were constantly checking on me, making sure I was okay. Three months later, I’ve already lost nearly 19 kg and I finally feel like myself again.

The hospital experience was beyond anything I imagined. The rooms were spacious, modern, and sparkling clean. I even had my own private bathroom and a couch for my mother, who came with me. Meals were delivered three times a day for her as well. The nurses were kind and attentive, despite the language barrier. Dr. Mustafa visited us twice a day and always made us laugh. I left the hospital not just thinner, but genuinely happier.

My daughter and I travelled together for the operation — a mother-daughter transformation. We were given adjacent rooms, and the staff treated us like royalty. Dr. Mustafa personally guided us through every stage. We both recovered quickly. Just over a month later, we’ve lost a combined 28 kg. But even more important than the number is how close we’ve grown through this journey.

My brother and I decided to have surgery together — a big step for both of us. We were both quite overweight and had tried every diet imaginable. From the moment we landed in Turkey, the team was amazing. Everything was pre-arranged, from the airport transfer to the hospital check-in. We stayed in the same room and the nurses were so kind and funny. Dr. Mustafa Erol visited us every day and kept our spirits high. It’s been 6 weeks now, and I’ve lost 14 kg, while my brother is down over 2 stone. But more importantly, we feel healthy, energetic, and motivated to keep going.
