Has anyone had surgery in Istanbul, Turkey?

[Melaninbarbie 6]

Hi,

I'm considering going to Turkey for surgery and I'm wondering if anyone personally had or know someone who had bariatric surgery there?

I'm looking into it too. Its so complicated to find a place you can trust... It so much less expensive though. Hopefully this gets more replies soon

I'm in Ireland and I'm looking at ERDEM Hospiral.. Its 4,200, I'm also considering Prague. I'm still saving so after Christmas I'll decide. Its just scary plus it looks like I'll be travelling alone. Anyway I've a few more months to keep looking.x

I'm thinking of going during the last week of October. So our dates are really close. I'm still deciding on clinics. Which one are you going to?

I follow a lady on Facebook called Sibel Orka who had hers done in Turkey.

Hi! I'm looking at ERDEM as well. I found another clinic called Irmet and it's 3900 with them. Finding reviews and information/research on these clinics is not the easiest thing. I'm nervous about going to Turkey too. When are you planning on going?

That's great what was her experience?

[sandypolly 9]

Thanks for replies. I'm still saving so probably February next year. I agree its difficult to get much research. I did email the hospital and I got a call back but the language barrier was a problem and he said he'd email me all the info which he did but it would have been nice to have a chat too to reassure me..please keep in touch and let me know how you get on? I can't get it in Ireland anyways cos my bmi is not over 40 plus its like 11,000.. Thankful to have found this thred now as I've no one else to talk to about it.

Im travelling alone! on the monlth count down now!!

i wont be telling anyone,

I was approved in Latvia Riga, and these places:

TSG is 3750 GBP- they gave me a list of numbers of UK patients, to contact to ask about reivews, a few people replied with really good things to say. one said no gloves where worn and that you will need google translate/ to gesture, thats fine lol i didnt even expect any english to be honest. i think ill be going with TSG as they seem the most open, and i have a BMI of 29.5-30 and they had no issues. it was 35 but i am struggling to keep my weight down.

IMRET in turkey also, 4800 USD

Akdeniz Sifa Hospital 3500£

i also looked at Egypt for a doctor who does do visible incisions, he would not approve me based on my BMI - he was around £3k all in maybe 3.2k after flights

Good luck!!
