Revisional Bariatric Surgery Worldwide

The gastric sleeve procedure itself was fine. Everyone we dealt with was polite. The trouble was the staff at the hospital — they would let an empty IV sit for hours without disconnecting me. Additionally, when I was allowed to take a shower, we had to ask three times for towels, and then it wasn't until we asked after the shift change that someone finally brought us towels.

Hallo liebe Leute, ich war am 04.11.24 in Antalya für eine Schlafmagen OP. Ich kann nur positives berichten. Alles super durchorganisiert, von Anfunft wo man von dem lieben Effe abgeholt wird, auch Voruntersungen am Ankunfttag und am nächsten Tag. Klinik sehr sauber, sehr freundliche Schwestern. Die OP: alles ruck zuck erledigt, keine Schmerzen, sehr lieber Arzt der täglich vorbei schaute ob alles in Ordnung ist. Bis heute 14.11.24 keine Probleme und auch abgenommen. Das wichtigste zum Schluß, ist die liebe Fatma, die sich um alles kümmert, alles übersetzt und immer für einen da ist. So einen tolle Betreuung hab ich in Deutschland noch nie erlebt. Ich kann die Klinik nur empfehlen.

I had a deep face and neck lift and upper blepharoplasty with Dr. Soner in October 2023, and it's been a game-changer for me. For over 19 years, I felt very self-conscious about my neck and side profile, after a hurtful comment from a so-called friend. Then, over time, as I gained and lost weight, and got older - it got even worse. I'd avoid having my picture taken and constantly tried to hide my neck with my hand or anything I could find. I even dreaded my husband seeing me from that angle after 36 years together! After significant research and spending time speaking with my lovely coordinator ‘Penny’ I had already chosen Dr Soner, but I so was nervous about going through with the procedure, especially since it was outside of the UK. But when I saw a photo someone had taken without me knowing, I knew I had to have the procedure. Everyone who knows me or has seen my before and after photos are amazed by the incredible difference it's made. My neck looks so much younger, and it's given a big boost to my confidence. My neck was my main worry, but now I'm happy to take photos without trying to cover up. I'm 55, and my only regret is not doing this sooner. Dr. Soner is a lovely chap. He’s professional, and informative. I was especially impressed that he talked me out of having a procedure that I didn’t need. I can't recommend him enough and have sent friends to him because I have so much faith in his ethics and commitment to do his very best for his patients. I’m not just grateful for the fantastic results, but also for how much it's improved how I feel about myself and for the support and guidance I’ve had all the way through the process from Penny.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Treated like a VIP from start to finish. I had my gastric sleeve in Feb 2023, and now in April 2024, I'm nearly 9 stone down. All thanks to Martin's clinic. They have been supportive from start to even now, in contact now keeping an eye on me. The hospital I stayed in was more like a hotel it was beautiful and clean. I brought a friend with me who was looked after like a VIP as well. I couldn't fault the clear information given to me, and the care given to me was 10/10.

On 11/29/23 Dr. Mehmed Ali Korkmaz had an operation... and what can I say... Just happy... I flew to Turkey without knowing exactly what I was getting myself into. I wanted to have the silicone implant out of my breast and have it tightened. The contact with Julia was perfect from the start. No question was too much for her and she was always there for you. That was the first reason why I flew. Shuttle service, hotel, support, and hospital couldn't have been better. Dr. Korkmaz himself was simply amazing. A patient, sensitive doctor who explained everything very well without any prompting and who didn't have questions too many. I still have swelling - it hasn't even been a week yet - it's getting better every day and I'm super happy. If something comes up again, I no longer have the question of where to have it done. Thanks again to the entire team. You are wonderful people.

I had a gastric sleeve with Dr Suleyman in July 2023 and when I arrived I was met with the upmost care. He can’t do enough for you, so kind and gentle. Since that time he has checked in with me every couple of months to see how I am doing and has always maintained contact, and been a constant pillar of support to me. I returned this year (June 2025) after losing 9 stone to have a “mummy makeover” all organised by Dr Suleyman and his team and again the care has been incredible. Even though he was not performing the plastic surgery he met with me on arrival, he was there holding my hand when I went down to surgery and he listens to any worries you may have and reassures you, he came in every day to check I was ok and not just me but my companion too ensuring she was ok and even bought her dinner whilst I was having surgery! He has a fantastic co-ordinator Olena who also ensures everything runs as smoothly as possible, and is always on hand to answer any questions. He really is the kindest man whilst maintaining professionalism at all times. I am so glad I found this surgeon he has changed my life and I have made a life long friend. Thank you for everything and I will see you again soon for my arm lift!

Gastric Sleeve, my partner had the procedure, organised by the lovely Irem at Bridge Health Travel. We chose this clinic after a work colleague told me about her experience from procedure & high standard of care she got from making contact with Irem to travelling & transfer to hospital for the operation & ongoing aftercare. My colleague passed on my number to the host- Irem who made contact via WhatsApp- there was no hard-sell or endless messages- we were able to get back to Irem in our own time with no pressure which was great. Irem was keen to answer any questions we had over the procedure & would quickly reply, which helped us to make an informed choice in our own time. After considering the options of procedure in UK vs abroad, we decided to choose Bridge Health Travel. From when we made decision, Irem’s approach is professional & well organised-assisting with travel plans (best flight times for procedure) around our scheduled leave and recovery. Still many more questions to Irem who is fantastic & nothing a silly question. Our flights from the UK were delayed by over 4hrs & we kept Irem informed of our flight number & updated, and when we landed messaged her & our transfer was ready waiting for us by time we got through border-control. Polite, professional driver in luxurious van collected us & brought us straight to private clinic where Irem met us at foyer. Irem oversaw paperwork needed to check-in and straight to en-suite room, met nurses & bloods done. The clinic was clean, nurses were attentive- even with language barrier it was professional & well-organised. Irem was perfect host with excellent English skills between us & clinical team. Next morning, my partner met their surgeon- had full medical report completed with 3 different specialist consultants and was consulted by internal medical consultant (all with Irem supporting translation) before green light for surgery that afternoon. We met surgeon again prior to surgery, for any questions. I had many more questions for Irem while partner was in surgery & I was really anxious, she is so caring and has actually gone through this procedure herself that I was reassured by her. Post-surgery recovery was patient-focused with getting comfortable & pain relief, nurses were precise & knew exactly what they needed to get done. Alongside this Irem was there to support & reassure me when I was upset(I’d never experienced my partner in hospital before). Even after Irem left to go home (I kept her quite late) she messaged me & said to stay in touch if I needed to speak to her again. The standard of care we received from the clinical team was fantastic over the 5days/4nights, absolutely outstanding. The private UK option would have had my partner in only for one day then home. After the whole experience; the professionalism, teamwork & dedication of the clinical team my partner would not have got this level of care in UK which I feel was necessary for procedure & post-op recovery. House-keeping staff visited room 3x per day, cleaned room & en-suite & made-up/put away companion bed am & pm. Companion meals were provided but if you don’t like it then Irem can organise take-out. Dietician visited Irem for post-surgery nutrition instructions & supplies including powders & vitamins. Again lots of questions for dietician over food-groups & shift-patterns. Aftercare was available online for a further 12 months included in booking. To be fair I hadn’t expected the level & standard of care after reading & hearing stories of surgery abroad; how wrong we were - I’m so glad we chose to use Bridge Health Clinic. I would highly recommend Bridge Health clinic to family, friends & other people considering surgery abroad, contact Irem who genuinely cares about the people & family members in her care, she is an excellent host. Big thanks to the nursing staff on floor 5, you’re all awesome😉 thank-you for your care👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Had gastric sleeve surgery done. All of the nurses were super helpful.

I had my procedure in August 2023. Mel was amazing and supported me through the whole process. I stayed for 5 days and took my partner. The rooms were clean and cleaned 3 times a day. Everything was explained to me by Mel. The consultant took the time to constantly check on me and make sure I was ok.

I had gastric sleeve surgery 5 days ago. that was painful at the beginning but after 1 day, I was feeling good. They always advise me to walk. Now, I'm resting at their hotel. I will go back to the UK tomorrow. I already lost 7 kilos, this is unbelievable. Best team, best performance. Highly recommended. Thank you clinic bariatric team especially, Vera, you are amazing.

There was a very good nursing staff at the hospital, they took really good care after the operation. And of course my brilliant surgeon Mustafa Erol.. he is perfect. Thanks a lot.

I had an excellent experience with JFS Clinic for my breast implant removal. From start to finish, the staff were incredibly supportive, professional, and reassuring. The consultation process was thorough, and they took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all my questions. On the day of surgery, the team made me feel completely at ease, and the care I received was outstanding. The surgeon did an amazing job. I’m so happy with my results. The aftercare has also been fantastic, with clear guidance and follow-up support. I highly recommend JFS Clinic to anyone considering surgery—they truly go above and beyond to ensure you feel comfortable and well cared for. Thank you.

The entire process was easy. Communication via WhatsApp with the doctor and his team was great. They replied really quickly to any questions or queries. The balloon insertion procedure went well. Quick process. I feel I was given all the information I needed for post-installation recovery.

Today is my 13th day post operative and I feel fit as a fiddle. Prof. Doc. Mehmet Tahir Ořuc came highly recommended by a friend who had a gastric sleeve and has since lost enough weight. I looked him up and his credentials stood out for me. I then booked him and thank God I did. As a person, he’s very jolly and reassuring. He was able to see me again and again until I left Turkey. Always kind and very friendly. I’m already 7kgs down and more to go! I feel value for every penny! His choice of hospital was also the best. I was alone through the journey but I felt safe in his hands. I would recommend him 100%. Thanks to his able assistant Afef who I texted a million times and she came back to me on all occasions. Her voice was the 1st I had when I woke up from anaesthesia(I am so grateful for this). She never tired to respond to my million questions. She kept me entertained during the pre-operative sessions. See you guys next year (inshallah). Happy happy client.

I would like to thank Dr. Derda Ozer for my surgery and follow-up appointment, as well as Hassan and Zainab from the MDO team. I am especially grateful to Hassan, who served as my host, translating everything for me and taking care of me throughout the process—from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the hospital. I will always be thankful to them for my procedure and for being such excellent hosts. I was well taken care of by Dr. Derda Ozer, and the hospital was well-equipped, with all the necessary facilities. My surgery went well, and on the same day, I was transferred to my hotel. The following day, I had a follow-up appointment. Hassan took me on a tour of Istanbul, visiting Aya Sofya, the Sultanahmet area, and the Blue Mosque. I am very thankful to him for being a great host; he speaks excellent English, explains everything clearly, and is a genuinely positive person, and treated me like an older brother. Regarding my surgery, everything went according to plan like we talked about before my visit. As for the results, I am partially satisfied and still recovering, waiting for the final outcome related to my squint eye. I remain in communication with the MDO team and have been advised to give it three months, as recovery times can vary. I may consider future courses of action later on. If I achieve an 80% correction of my squint, I will be very happy. After my surgery, my eye still shows a slight deviation, and the size of my operated eye is still smaller than that of the other eye. Overall, I am satisfied with the surgery and remain hopeful for the best results. I would definitely recommend MDO, as they are a genuine clinic, and the hospital they use for surgeries has all the necessary facilities and is based in Istanbul. They are a trustworthy company that takes great care of their patients, and without a doubt, they are neither fake nor fraudulent. The staff and team are very honest and generous.

The clinic is beautiful & clean, doctor and staff are professional and friendly. I am very happy with the result. Will be back for 2nd treatment.

When I say I researched thoroughly, I mean *thoroughly*—I had a spreadsheet of options, reviews, prices, and patient feedback from Instagram and TikTok. My only regret is that I wish I had done it sooner. Ilva and Dr. Olegs are an absolute dream team. Ilva is always there when you need her, and the hospital and its care are second to none. I'm now 19 weeks post-op and couldn't be happier or more thankful to Weightloss Latvia.

I had sleep apnea and snoring surgery. I was very impressed with the hospital it’s better than any private hospital I’ve been to in the UK. All the staff were very polite, and professional and could not do enough for you. The surgeon examined me and explained what the surgery would consist of and answered any questions I had. After the surgery, I was well looked after by the team anything I needed they did. I would highly recommend, for the standard of treatment it was exceptional value for money. Thank you to Ali and the rest of the medical team
