Gastric Bypass Worldwide

I had a gastric sleeve surgery at Apera.10 days after surgery and I feel great. During my stay in the hospital, everyone was kind and professional. I want to thank them for my new life. I would recommend everyone to decide to take this step and come to the Apera. THANK YOU ❤

Gastric bypass. Good overall experience. Professional service and the doctors were very interested.

After researching bariatric surgery and making a decision to go ahead, I chose Dr Necdet Derici, because I read previous reviews about him. Just to mention Tony the health advisor and Rachel the dietician who spoke perfect English and were always there for my numerous questions and concerns. Thank you. I only had my gastric bypass surgery on 3rd May 2021. Dr Derici was very helpful and put me at ease as soon as I met him. He made sure all my pre-op tests came back fine before going ahead. After my surgery, he came around to let me know it was all done and there were no concerns. He came to examine me daily until I left the hospital. He has a really friendly and calm manner which reassured me. I would definitely recommend him to anyone thinking about bariatric surgery. Thanks so much, Dr Derici. I'm looking forward to my much healthier new life.

For years I struggled with my weight and one day I bumped into a friend who recently had the sleeve surgery in Turkey and right away I made the decision to do the same. Right away I went online to see who had the best reviews. I came across SAM patient services and started to talk with a rep called “Murat”. He explained everything to me and was not too pushy like other reps for other companies can be. This is something I liked. I didn’t feel pressured in any way. When I arrived in Izmir I was met at the airport and brought straight to the hospital and was met at the doors by a number of staff, one being the loveliest translator who to this day still messages my partner to see how we both are. I was fed that night but all I wanted was the pasta (was weirdly the nicest pasta I’ve ever had haha). The next morning I had a lot of investigations by many doctors to see if I was fit for the surgery. After all of this when it was time for my surgery I was taken down and waved off by Murat and his friends and I felt really safe even with the language barrier. My surgeon spoke some English and was the nicest man I’ve ever met. I don’t actually remember wakening up in recovery but when I got back to my room I was sore and felt so sick.. but the nurses were amazing and got me painkillers as often as they could (when I was due more). Although I was sore they helped me get on my feet pretty soon which was the best possible thing for me to do. I was lucky to have my partner there supporting me. I would do it again alone but it’s nice to have someone with you. By the second day, I was feeling great. I couldn’t be happier with the care I received and the Turkish nurses are by far the nicest nurses I’ve ever come across. They made me feel so special and welcome. We all used google translate to talk and they honestly wanted to get to know me as a person and not just do their jobs. They went above and beyond. The only thing I would change is not taking an extra week to visit some of the beautiful sights in Izmir. The local people were all so lovely to my partner when he was out and about. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get a direct flight at the time (thanks to covid 19) but I definitely recommend you do get one if possible. Oh, I should add that my surgeon Dr Osman Uyar is still available to talk to me on Instagram or WhatsApp if I have any questions as I, Murat. Murat is brilliant and is always checking up on me to see my progress. Now to the most important part. I had my surgery 10 weeks ago and I now have 2stone 11lbs off. I’ve gone from 230lbs to 192lbs. Roll on the next few months of getting slimmer, happier and healthier. Thank you again, everyone, involved in my care ❤️.

I had the gastric bypass on 26/10/18 at Anadolu Hastanesi. The whole experience was great, the surgeon was fantastic and checked on me daily until I left. He did a very good job and I wasn't in too much pain. Togba and Sevim (translators) are lovely and very helpful if they don't know the answer they will find out and get back to you. Also, the nurses at the hospital were very kind and helpful. Brilliant experience. The hospital is clean and the cleaners come around 3/4 times a day - they are also very nice people. Staff are friendly and no one can help you enough. Very glad I chose to go here for my surgery.

I had a gastric bypass (mini) at Lara Andoulou Hastanesi hospital in Antalya under prof Nurullah Bulbuller, with Dr Mani Habibi assisting. Dr Habibi was my point of contact who was incredibly helpful and answered all of my questions in detail. He was very helpful, spoke great English and was in contact every step of the way with any queries. The service was professional throughout, prior to the surgery I was reviewed by a cardiologist, respiratory doctor, anaesthetist, had an ultrasound abdomen and was seen by a mental health professional. I was given a ct thorax, covid test, ECG and multiple blood tests, which was much more thorough than any UK NHS preoperative assessment. After surgery, I was in some pain and was quickly given some effective pain relief that sent me to a mellow sleep. I stayed in the hospital for approx 4 night and took my mother with me, she was given 3 meals a day. The nurses were lovely and attentive. The hospital itself is clean and cleaned regularly. We had a few niggles mainly with the fridge not working which was quickly resolved, some air-conditioning leaks in the corridors but this was not important to me. All in all, I was well looked after, Dr Mani was an amazing guy who I have so much respect for. The hospital is safe and you will be looked after well. I am early in my journey but so far this has been the best decision of my life. I would recommend Dr Habibi and prof Nurullah Bulbuller to anyone.

I visited the Health Store Turkey this year to undergo a sleeve gastrectomy performed by the most amazing surgeon Dr Omer Yoldas. I did a lot of research before finally choosing the Health store Turkey, the support you have from the team is outstanding and all my questions were answered, they take all the hard work away for you all you need to do is book your flights and they will even support you with this. My experience at this hospital was out if this world, from the staff at the Health store Turkey to the nursing staff at the hospital there was nothing they wouldn't do for you. The hospital was spotless. The tests before the procedure were painless and professionally performed. (Wish our hospitals were like this) The aftercare is fantastic a nutritionist visits you and informs you of what to eat at each stage. All of the staff work very hard at the health store team and the nursing team. I highly recommend the Health store Turkey for Bariatric surgery and when it's time to have my tummy tuck I know the hospital I will be going to (The Health store Turkey. )

So impressed from start to finish. Highly recommend. Flew out to Istanbul in November 2020 for a gastric bypass. we were met as arranged at the airport and driven to our lovely hotel which was very nice, very clean. We were collected from our hotel to have our pre-op tests. The tests were very thorough, and so were the doctors. The day of the surgery we were collected from our hotel and arrived at the clinic our room was like a hotel room very comfortable, clean everything you could need. Everything step of our treatment was explained and that was reassuring. After surgery no discomfort, the staff coming in every hour or so to check on us. I feel that pain relief and treatment are far superior to the UK. The surgeon came to check on us various times throughout my 2-day stay. After leaving the clinic I had one last night at the hotel before my flight home. I can honestly say that from start to finish the staff from this clinic have gone above and beyond to provide me with the surgery I asked for. I would highly recommend Istanbul obesity clinic. Thank you to all the staff you all amazing.

My experience with Clinichub has been great from start to finish! 😊 I struggled with my weight for all my life and finally decided that do something about it and started researching weight-loss surgeries and came across the gastric sleeve. So I started my enquiry with Clinichub, chatting with my lovely Coordinator and had a consultation, my surgeon, before booking my surgery! My coordinator made sure that I knew everything about the process, what to expect, how to prepare myself, etc. Then I booked my flights, packed and was mentally ready to do this for myself so I could lose this excess weight that was holding me back from enjoying many things in life. I arrived at the airport late at night, the driver was already waiting for me and escorted me to this 5-star hotel, my room was very neat and clean. There was an amazing breakfast buffet which I was not able to ENJOY ☹ as I was already on my fluid diet. Anyways, I was informed by my coordinators about the plan for the day. I got up and get ready for the tests and was taken to the hospital by the driver. I finally I met Asuman in the hospital who had been helping all through my booking process and she guided me in there as well and made sure everything went well super smoothly. The dietitian was also amazing, she explained a lot of things to me made sure everything was clear about my diet and brought me my supplements to use later. I also got to meet other patients who were having surgery on the same day as me which helped lessen my anxiety, you know seeing other people go through the same experiences and supporting each other. I met my surgeon prior to my surgery, and he was very kind and gave me confidence that everything would go well. He also made sure I felt comfortable and cared for afterwards. The nurses were lovely and very attentive. Even though I was in pain in my first day, pain relief was provided, they helped me walk and felt so much BETTER after taking my first shower, relieved and renewed. By the time I got discharged, I was feeling so good like I haven’t even had surgery and I kept thinking “WHY HAVE I DELAYED THIS FOR SO LONG?” So overall, I was impressed with the quality of the service and even though I was nervous to travel by myself, I felt comfortable and welcomed during my whole stay. So MASSIVE THANK YOU to Clinichub for the journey and my doctor, all the coordinators, nurses, drivers, hotel staff! I’ll be definitely back for my tummy and referring my family and friends 😊

I had Gastric Sleeve surgery in October with Dr Metin Karadeniz. I would highly recommend the surgeon, I was informed at every stage and received fantastic treatment throughout my stay. I have had no complications following my surgery, I have access to the surgeon and dietician who I am in regular contact with. The post operative plan is clear and allowed me to make a speedy recovery. From initially landing in Izmir the team took care of my every need! Dr Karadeniz is an expert in obesity and gastric sleeve/bypass surgery. I was in safe hands with this team!

I travelled to Turkey the 1. In July 2020. I what’s greeted by Dr Sulayman who was going to do my gastric sleeve operation. I felt perfectly charm and save in the hands of this extremely complete man. I was up and walking around in Antalya in less than 48 hours. My scars were healing very quickly and they are so nice and small now. Here 9 months after the operation I’ve lost 44 kg and I haven’t felt so good in more than 20 years. I will in a heartbeat warmly recommend Dr Suleyman.

It’s really a clean hospital and the medical staff are professionals and very friendly. Their post-hospitalization treatment is incredibly on point even when I’m back in my country. They always check up on you and offer over the phone post-care consultation. Special thanks to Oguzhan, the young man who made my stay homely. He’s always within reach. And Tankut the funky driver. You guys rock. If you want to have a great pre and post-hospitalization treat, then ask for Oguzhan and Tankut if you ever get to be here.

On the 18th of August 2020. I had a gastric sleeve with the Dr Mehmet Tahir Oruc. I was very pleased with the Surgery and the staff were very kind and helpful. If you needed anything the doctor came to see me 2×3 times today while I was there very grateful and I do recommend him. The hospital room was very clean where I was staying there is always somebody there If you needed anything. Very happy and will recommend it.

Dr Yimcharoen and Dr Suthipong are miracle workers! I had a gastric sleeve done with them through Rattinan Clinic at Paolo Memorial Hospital in Bangkok. They are true professionals! Dr Suthipong talked me through the whole process and explained everything that was to happen. He is personable and funny and so easy to relate to. Dr Yimcharoen is an artist! I healed up with no scars in 4 days. I had no pain and no side effects whatsoever! The team he worked with at Paolo Memorial were top class! They really put my mind at ease throughout the whole process and the drug therapy regime pre and post-surgery made sure I was comfortable and side effect free every single day. The doctors are both highly trained bariatric specific surgeons. They care deeply about their patients and really go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. Thanks also to Maricar and the girls at Rattinan clinic for being so wonderful and helpful and friendly and just amazing! Thanks so so so much!
