Orthopaedic Clinics Turkey

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 ❤️.

Gastric Sleeve. The whole experience from start to finish was quick and efficient which I loved. I was received from the airport by Sevim who has been great throughout this experience with answering all my questions and providing me with all the information I need. There was no waiting around as soon as I reached the hospital, all the necessary tests were done immediately and I was prepped for my op the same day. The nurses at the hospital were lovely and helped immensely in my recovery, a huge thank you to them, Dr Ibrahim and Sevim.
