Elipse Swallowable Gastric Balloon in Antalya

What is the Elipse Swallowable Gastric Balloon?

The Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon (Allurion Elipse Gastric Balloon) is the world's first endoscopy- and anesthesia-free gastric balloon. It offers the same effects and mechanism as other gastric balloons. The first gastric balloons were introduced in the 1980s for weight loss purposes. The placement, inflation, and removal of traditional endoscopic gastric balloons required anesthesia and endoscopy. In the 2010s, the Elipse swallowable gastric balloon was developed to overcome these requirements, making it the most widely used gastric balloon in the world.

Gastric balloons occupy space in the stomach, creating a constant feeling of fullness. They also slow down the passage of food, thereby aiding in the weight loss process. They are a commonly used option for non-surgical obesity treatment and weight loss methods. The Allurion gastric balloon is widely used due to its advantages.

Naturally expelled
After 16 weeks, the valve of the balloon is opened, and the balloon deflates. It is naturally expelled through the intestines.

The Allurion Elipse Swallowable Gastric Balloon is compressed in a capsule shape and can be easily swallowed due to its reduced size. It is sometimes referred to as a gastric balloon pill. The balloon is made of thin, state-of-the-art polyurethane material, which is smooth and causes fewer side effects compared to other gastric balloons. Its thinness does not compromise its durability. Like other gastric balloons, it is resistant to stomach acid for an extended period. These advantages provide a more comfortable experience for individuals who want to lose weight. Additionally, the Elipse (Allurion) Gastric Balloon facilitates easy and natural expulsion from the body after the treatment process.

The Allurion Elipse Swallowable Gastric Balloon remains in the stomach for approximately 16 weeks and then deflates on its own, being expelled naturally. During this time, you can expect to lose about 10-15% of your body weight. According to research, the majority of weight loss with the gastric balloon method occurs within the first four months. Its effectiveness diminishes in the subsequent period. However, the Allurion Weight Loss Program lasts for six months and continues even after the balloon is expelled from the body.

Along with the Allurion Weight Loss Program, individuals are monitored online with the help of the Allurion Smart Scale, Allurion Smart Watch, and the Allurion Mobile Application, all providing support from a registered dietitian. This aims to maintain the nutritional habits and lifestyle changes acquired through the swallowable gastric balloon and prevent weight regain. The results show that individuals can maintain 95% of the weight loss achieved through the program within one year.

Regarding this topic, you can find the translation of the article summarizing the experiences of 1170 patients related to the Allurion Elipse Swallowable Gastric Balloon, one of the largest studies conducted on gastric balloons worldwide.

How is the Swallowable Gastric Balloon Applied?

The Elipse balloon is swallowed with water

Swallowed with water

The balloon, compressed inside a capsule, is swallowed with the help of water. The capsule is of a size that can be easily swallowed.

The application of the Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon takes approximately 15 minutes. The balloon, compressed in a capsule shape and of a size that can be easily swallowed, and a thin, flexible string attached to the balloon are swallowed with the assistanceof water.

One of the biggest concerns of patients is the fear of not being able to swallow the capsule of the swallowable gastric balloon. However, in all of our previous applications, all patients have been able to swallow the capsule easily. Nevertheless, a thin guide is available to assist in case of any difficulty. In such a situation, the swallowing process is completed with the help of this guide.

The position of the capsule is checked with an X-ray
Checked with X-ray
After swallowing the capsule, the position of the balloon capsule is checked in the stomach using fluoroscopy (moving X-ray). Through the fluoroscopy device, the patient can see the capsule in their own stomach. Once the appropriate position of the capsule is confirmed, water is transferred into the balloon through the remaining string (tube) outside the body. After inflation, it is checked again using the fluoroscopy device, and then the string outside the body is pulled by the doctor to complete the procedure.

The swallowable gastric balloon is placed and inflated in the stomach
Inflated in the stomach
After confirming the appropriate position, the capsule is inflated to place the balloon in the stomach.

There is no need for the removal of the Allurion Elipse Swallowable Gastric Balloon. After 4 months, the valve inside the balloon naturally dissolves, and the water inside the balloon drains out, resulting in a deflated balloon that is expelled through the intestines. One of the most common questions we receive from patients is whether the expulsion might cause intestinal blockage. Due to the balloon's thin and smooth structure, this is a very low possibility. We have not encountered such a situation in our clinic to date.

Who is Eligible for the Allurion Elipse Swallowable Balloon?

Have you tried all diet programs but failed to succeed? Try the Elipse balloon. Most individuals who opt for the Elipse gastric balloon have a history of unsuccessful weight loss attempts with diet and exercise.

The Elipse gastric balloon is an ideal method for those ready for change. If you are determined to lose weight, everything will be easier for you.

This application, with almost no complications, is designed to help you get rid of the habits that have caused weight gain and create a new lifestyle to reach your ideal weight and, most importantly, maintain it.

The Elipse balloon application has been used worldwide for a long time. Over 100,000 Elipse balloon applications have been performed to date.

The ease of the application provides convenience for both doctors and patients.

Nausea and vomiting, which are the most common complications in gastric balloon applications during the first 3 days, are less frequent with the Elipse gastric balloon due to its structure.

The capsule, which can be easily swallowed, is swallowed with water. One of the concerns of our patients is the fear of not being able to swallow the capsule. However, we would like to emphasize that this situation is very rare.

The Elipse Gastric Balloon can be applied to individuals aged 18 and above with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher.

It is a preferred method for individuals with obesity for whom surgery is not recommended due to health problems.

Since it does not require anesthesia and endoscopy, the Elipse swallowable gastric balloon is the ideal weight loss method for individuals who cannot undergo anesthesia.

However, it cannot be applied to pregnant individuals.

It is not suitable for individuals who consume excessive alcohol.

Whether it can be applied to individuals with previous stomach-related conditions is determined by the doctor.

Since it does not require anesthesia and endoscopy during the procedure, it can be easily applied to individuals for whom anesthesia is not recommended.

During the procedure, the individual remains fully conscious.

Due to the lack of removal requirement, there is no need for a second anesthesia, and one of the greatest advantages is that patients only need to visit the clinic once. The comprehensive program that will be applied afterward can be monitored online. Of course, if patients wish to visit us voluntarily, they are always welcome.

Advantages of the Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon
The biggest advantage of the Elipse Swallowable Gastric Balloon is its placement by swallowing it with water. That's why it is also called a gastric balloon pill.

The gastric balloon pill does not require surgical procedures, anesthesia, or endoscopy. Thus, it is the ideal method for patients who are unable to undergo anesthesia or have concerns about anesthesia. It eliminates the possible complications associated with anesthesia. The fact that the patient remains awake and conscious during the procedure minimizes potential stress.

The application of the swallowable gastric balloon is completed in approximately 15 minutes, which is another advantage.

Maintaining communication with the patient during the procedure and allowing them to see the entire process contributes to a positive start on their weight loss journey.

The potential side effects after the procedure are minimal. Due to the thin and smooth structure of the Elipse gastric balloon, it moves comfortably in the stomach, reducing the occurrence of complications and early removal rates compared to traditional endoscopic gastric balloons. While the early removal rate is around 10% for endoscopic gastric balloons, it is around 1% for the Elipse swallowable gastric balloon.

There is no need for the removal of the Elipse Swallowable Gastric Balloon. The balloon naturally deflates after 16 weeks and is expelled through the intestines. Patients do not need to visit the clinic or doctor again as with other endoscopic balloons. This provides a cost advantage for the patient, especially for those who come from abroad or a distant location.

High level of patient follow-up effectiveness. Thanks to the Allurion Weight Loss Program, the Allurion Smart Scale, Allurion Smart Watch, and the Allurion Mobile Application provided to our patients, they can continue to monitor their progress regularly, maintain their healthy lifestyle and dietary habits, and share these data online with our registered dietitian to receive controlled guidance.

How Much Weight Can Be Lost with the Swallowable Gastric Balloon?

One of the most frequently asked questions regarding the swallowable gastric balloon is how much weight can be lost. With proper adherence to the recommendations of the doctor and dietitian, approximately 10-15% of body weight can be lost in about 4 months. With the continuation of the acquired dietary habits, weight loss can be sustained in the following period.

The swallowable gastric balloon is the beginning of the weight loss journey. It is crucial for individuals to maintain determination and active monitoring. Therefore, after the procedure, it is necessary to be followed up by expert dietitians.

With the swallowable gastric balloon, an average weight loss of up to 25 kilograms can be achieved.

When Can Normal Life Resume after the Swallowable Gastric Balloon?

Many individuals can resume their normal life one or two days after the placement of the swallowable gastric balloon. However, sometimes patients may experience prolonged nausea, stomach cramps, or vomiting. In such cases, your doctor may prescribe medication to help you overcome these symptoms.

Key Differences between Endoscopic Gastric Balloon and Swallowable Gastric Balloon

The mechanism of action of gastric balloons is essentially the same. They occupy space in the stomach, reducing its volume and causing a feeling of fullness, which leads to consuming less food and weight loss. The main differences between gastric balloons lie in the application method and the duration they stay in the stomach. Endoscopic gastric balloons, as the name suggests, are placed in the stomach using an endoscopy procedure and anesthesia. On the other hand, the swallowable gastric balloon is ingested by swallowing a capsule and does not require anesthesia or endoscopy.

At the end of the application period, endoscopic gastric balloons are removed using endoscopy and anesthesia, whereas the swallowable gastric balloon deflates naturally and is expelled through the intestines.

Allurion Elipse Gastric Balloon and Nutrition

This section provides a nutrition guide designed to support you in making lifestyle changes for weight loss and adopting healthier habits. It is part of a six-month treatment package called the Allurion Program, which aims to help you create new habits and routines in your lifestyle to "move away from the feeling of hunger."

The nutrition guide, along with the support of your clinical team, will help you identify which aspects of your lifestyle you want to change and support you in implementing these changes.

Your team will work with you to develop new coping strategies you will need to maintain your new and healthier lifestyle after the balloon is expelled from your body.

The Allurion Elipse Swallowable Gastric Balloon, together with this maintenance and support program, serves as a guide to help you achieve your long-term goals. However, the specific foods and meals may vary from person to person. The final application will be determined by your doctor or dietitian.

Stage 1
The period from 30 days before the application to the application day

Preparing for Your Allurion Elipse Gastric Balloon

In the weeks leading up to the procedure, it is a great time to make changes in your eating habits to ensure that you are ready to use the balloon. These changes also include starting to eat more mindfully:
► Plan your meals and snacks in advance, as well as your eating times.
► Try to eat sitting down and focus on your meal.
► Eat your meals slowly and chew thoroughly.
► Separate your food and drink by taking small sips only before and after a meal.
► Stop eating as soon as you start feeling full.

If you have a smartphone, download our mobile application, the Allurion Mobile App. This application will be synchronized with the Allurion Smart Scale and Allurion Smart Watch provided to you at the clinic to track your progress.

Under the guidance of your doctor, start taking antacids two weeks before the application date and take the anti-nausea medication prescribed by your clinic (usually the night before and the morning of the application).

In the 24-48 hours before the placement of the balloon, aim to consume at least 2 liters of liquid spread throughout the day and make sure you are well-hydrated.

Restrict your fluid intake to clear fluids only for approximately 10-12 hours leading up to the application. You will be asked to stop fluid intake 2 hours before the application.

Sample Meal Plan:

BREAKFAST

125 ml (1/2 cup) milk or protein shake

SNACK

125 ml (1/2 cup) plain yogurt/high-protein yogurt (low-fat Turkish yogurt)

LUNCH

Blended 2 tablespoons of chicken/red meat/fish or 2 tablespoons of vegetable puree or high-protein blended soup

AFTERNOON SNACK

1/2 cup homogenized yogurt or high-protein yogurt/protein shake

DINNER

Blended 2 tablespoons of fish/chicken/red meat + 2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes or blended lentil soup. Have dinner at 7:00 PM and avoid consuming excessive fluids afterwards.

Good protein shakes should contain approximately 15 to 20 grams of protein, maximum 200 calories, and 10 grams of sugar. You can also add unflavored protein powder to your homemade soups or shakes.

Other recommendations:

► Fat-free dairy products without fruit pieces (milk, yogurt).

► Sugar-free gelatin/pudding and cream (low-fat milk).

► Sugar-free herbal tea, green tea, chamomile, anise (you can add low-fat milk).

► Low-fat spreadable cheese or cottage cheese.

► Soups (blended). You can add vegetables, potatoes, red meat, chicken, lentils, etc.

► Low-fat protein shakes (vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry).

► Oatmeal cooked with skim milk.

Stage 3 - Soft Food Diet (Days 3-5)
If you can tolerate liquids and purees well, you can start trying soft foods. Remember to keep portion sizes small, take small bites, and chew each bite thoroughly. If you notice that soft foods worsen your nausea and vomiting, return to a liquid diet for 24 hours before trying them again.

Guidelines:
► The soft food diet consists of easily chewed and swallowed soft foods. These foods can be chopped, blended, mashed, pureed, or soaked.

► Use measuring cups to help you with portion sizes.

► Chew your food thoroughly, eat slowly, and stop eating or drinking when you feel the first signs of fullness.

Sample Meal Plan:

BREAKFAST

125 ml (1/2 cup) low-fat milk + 15 grams of sugar-coated cereal/porridge/2 dry biscuits

SNACK

Fruit puree or natural yogurt - 125 ml (1/2 cup) or protein shake

LUNCH

Scrambled eggs (x1-2) + 2 tablespoons of vegetable puree or 1 cup of chunky chicken soup or steamed white fish or 1 cup of dried beans or lentils

AFTERNOON SNACK

125 ml (1/2 cup) plain yogurt and a handful of soft fruits

DINNER

2 tablespoons of low-fat cheese + 2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes or bolognese and zucchini pasta or light curry with meat and vegetables

Other important points:
► The total fat intake should not exceed 20 grams per day during this stage.

► Diets may vary during this stage. Your nutritionist will guide you throughout this phase.

Stage 4 - Return to Solid Food Diet (Days 5-7)
Most people return to their normal solid food meals after the 5-7 day period. However, for some individuals, this process may take up to 2 weeks. If you experience only stomach cramps without nausea or vomiting, they are usually hunger pangs that can be alleviated by consuming more solid or semi-solid foods.

After transitioning to solid foods, try to establish a rhythm of 3 meals per day and allow your body and balloon to determine if planned snacks are necessary. However, it is generally recommended to include small and healthy snacks in your diet to maintain a stable sugar level. The key to sustaining these changes in the long term is to establish a regular routine.

Make sure to work closely with your guidance team to find the most suitable routine for you.

Other important points:
► During the first month, avoiding leafy vegetables may be helpful.

► Ensure you are getting enough fluids.

Months 1-3
Tips for eating well and feeling good
► Eat your meals slowly and chew each bite thoroughly. Take a break between bites to evaluate the fullness sensation (feeling satisfied) in your chest.

► Avoid consuming liquids with meals. Take sips before and after.

► Transition from 3 balanced meals to 2 small snacks and 3 balanced meals.

► Consider taking an A-2 multivitamin and mineral supplement during the Allurion Program to protect against nutritional deficiencies.

► Stop eating if you experience reflux (heartburn), gas, bloating, or belching. Avoid smoking before meals.

► Avoid consuming excessive alcohol, carbonated beverages, highly caffeinated drinks, or high-calorie beverages.

► Avoid eating dinner too late in the evening. Avoid lying down immediately after eating and wait at least two to three hours before bedtime.

► You may experience some discomfort when trying to sleep or lying on your side. Supporting your body with pillows can reduce discomfort.

► Sleeping on your left side is more suitable and can reduce balloon-related symptoms during the night.

► Make an effort to be physically active for at least 30 minutes per day. Consult your guide to find the type of activity that suits you and your lifestyle.

► Ensure you regularly share your updated weight information with your guidance team at least once a week to receive continuous monitoring and support. These services are included in your package and are crucial for your success.

► Use small plates to help with portion control.

Meeting Protein Needs
During weight loss, high protein intake can help preserve our lean body mass consisting of muscles and bones, which support our metabolism and overall health.

Your care team will assist you in determining the appropriate protein intake level for you. The correct level will typically be 1 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of ideal body weight, depending on your health history, current lifestyle, and exercise levels. Your nutritionist can help you with this calculation.

Stage 3
4th Month and Beyond
Maintaining weight loss and optimizing results in the fourth month
After the first 2-3 months, some individuals may start to notice that they have become accustomed to the presence of the balloon and its effects may be less noticeable. As with any weight loss journey, the Allurion weight loss journey can also plateau after the initial months. If your weight loss has stalled, there may be combination treatments to consider. These may include medications, fiber supplements, or more structured diets (e.g., very low-calorie ketogenic diet or intermittent fasting) and exercise programs. Consult your guidance team to discuss suitable options.

Balloon Removal
The balloon deflates around the 16th week and passes out of your system. However, the time for the balloon to pass out of your body can take between 3 to 5 months or longer. During this process, you may experience some stomach cramping and diarrhea. Returning to a soft food diet for one week from the 15th week can help alleviate these side effects. Most patients may not see the empty balloon being expelled naturally. In rare cases, a small percentage of patients may vomit and expel the empty balloon. While it may sound alarming, no adverse events have been reported concerning the expulsion of the balloon in this manner. If this occurs, no additional intervention or further follow-up is typically required.

Starting Your Life Confidently After the Balloon
It is normal to feel anxious or apprehensive about whether you cancontinue your success after the balloon is expelled. Consult with your guide and establish a plan to follow for a few weeks until you feel more confident. The key is to maintain the structure and routine that you have perfected over the past few months, including the same food choices, portion sizes, meal frequency, and exercise routine. By doing so, you can continue your success and maintain your weight loss. Your guidance team will be there to support you during this transition period.

Allurion Assurance Plus Guarantee
Rest assured during the Allurion Program. Participants in the Allurion Program are covered by the Assurance Plus Guarantee without any additional cost after balloon placement.

Guarantee Coverage:
♦ The balloon stays in the stomach for at least 90 days before naturally passing. If it deflates and passes earlier, it will be replaced***.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience - Bariatric Surgery Consultation

Gary R, UK

I travelled last week for surgery. All I can say is if you are thinking of having this done, reach out to people who’ve already done it as they’ll always be willing to tell you their story. In relation to Bridge Health, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Helpful, supportive, professional but most importantly, caring. Any questions or guidance that you needed they offered and have stayed in touch since I came home to make sure everything is on track.

Recommend for everyone.

Austin Jones

Ok good people. Help me with everything. Recommend for everyone.

Would recommend 100%

I used this surgery to have Top Surgery (double mastectomy with plastics) This clinic was amazing from start to finish, I can’t fault them in the slightest. I had full support before I even flew out. Then was waited on hand and foot from start to finish every day I was there. The hospital was so accommodating and couldn’t have asked for more. The hotel they provided for me was nothing but perfect to recover in.

Highly recommend

The nurse treated me like VIP, from the moment I said okay I’ll come

Tiffany, Turkey

My experience with Bridge Health Travel was nothing short of exceptional. Irem was very helpful, and patient and educated me about the process during the decision making. She treated me like VIP, from the moment I said okay I’ll come. All the way to my departure she has been there every step of the way. As a solo traveller it was reassuring because she made certain I was always comfortable. I am so happy that I chose to jumpstart my gastric sleeve journey with Bridge Health Travel and I’d most definitely recommend it to others. Sleeved2023.

I was always being checked on and made sure I was comfortable

Kayleigh, UK

Gastric sleeve surgery on the 25th November 2022. Im a 33 year old mother who had 2 travel alone because of child care. Irem was amazing. From start 2 finish as soon as I landed in Turkey I was well looked after. The hospital was spotless and the nurses were amazing. I was never left no longer then 30 minutes on my own. I was always being checked on and made sure I was comfortable. I flew over on Friday and I left on Tuesday. When I first woke up I was very much shocked but I had 2 nurses who didnt leave my side until I had come round and was well alert. I have had no problems at all with my surgery it took a little while for my head 2 catch up with my belly and Irem as answered any messages Ive sent very quickly. My scars are so neat and hardly noticeable now Ive gone from 16 stone 2 11 stone 9 and Im comfortable enough to start to maintain my weight at the moment I dont need any plastic surgery as Im loving my new body. But Im 50/50 about having my boobs done and if I do I will 100% be using this team again. Im even friends with my surgeon on instagram and he always replied 2 my stories or asked me how Im doing !! Honestly Turkey is a big place and many places offer this kind of surgery but Im so glad I went with this company.

I recommend it to everyone

They helped me in all matters, and they were of great help in every process. I recommend it to everyone

Was such a pleasant experience and everything went fab

Clarissa C., UK

I had been contemplating having a gastric sleeve for over two years before actually taking the plunge. I have struggled with my weight for half of my lifetime and I have three young children I want to see grow up. I had followed a girl on social media who had booked through BHT. She gave me the contact info for a lady named Iram. She was very thorough when booking me in for surgery and was always there when I had questions about the procedure. The day fast approached and I was met at the airport by a private taxi, and Iram at the hospital even with it being a late night! I was admitted straight away and bloods taken. The following morning I was taken for all my pre-op tests and everything was explained along the way. I was then booked in for surgery that afternoon, which went very well. I spent 2 more nights in the hospital and one night at a hotel before travelling back to the UK. All the nurses were lovely, they tried their hardest to communicate and even used google translate to help. The hospital was lovely & clean, bed sheets were changed daily, and bins emptied 2/3 times a day. Was such a pleasant experience and everything went fab. I would recommend BHT to anyone wanting surgery abroad.

A professional, respectful and personable human being

Rachel, UK

From start to finish. I have nothing but positive words. Irem has been fantastic. From meeting us at the hospital to waving us goodbye at the hotel. She has made a stressful process so easy. Dr Belen was fantastic - a professional, respectful and personable human being. I researched long and hard regarding this operation, and from all the companies that offered this. Bridge Health is the company to use. I am looking forward to my new way of life - my new diet and within a few months. My new look. Thank you Bridge Health for everything

I did my own research and went to BHT and I am very pleased. They are definitely 10/10.

Zehra Şık

I went to Turkey in September 2023. I had gastric sleeve surgery the day after my arrival, and my surgery went well. The staff was amazing; nurses, cleaners and even surgeons; We should not forget the wonderful coordinators. Irem took care of me from the first minute to the last minute. I did my own research and went to BHT and I am very pleased. They are definitely 10/10.

I will not hesitate to recommend you to my circle

Jonathan, UK

Thank you Irem. I live with the dream of the body you gave me and gave me. I didn't expect to get this far in such a short time. I will not hesitate to recommend you to my circle. See you again

Lisa, UK

Travelled for surgery which took place on 16th January 2023, before, on arrival and throughout my stay I was well looked after. Irem was on hand through the whole process, answered any questions or concerns and really went above and beyond to make my experience a pleasant and stress free process. Would highly recommend and would most definitely go back in the future.

Irem and Sasha went out of their way to make me feel at ease and my surgeon Dr Erdem came to visit me every day before and after surgery.

Boris Dowd

I had a gastric sleeve 4 weeks ago today, the level of care I received was above and beyond from the moment I arrived until I was back at home. I was a solo traveller, but never ever felt alone there. Irem and Sasha went out of their way to make me feel at ease and my surgeon Dr Erdem came to visit me every day before and after surgery. If I decide to go back in the future for any plastics I won't hesitate to go back there . I am already over 2 stone lighter since starting my journey.

So good for value

Leesa, UK

I’m currently 2 weeks post op from a gastric sleeve and had the best experience with bridge health travel - I was helped the whole way through by Irem and really owe her so much for helping change my life! From the very start she was so helpful, supportive and caring! It was a massive reason why I picked this company as I had been whatsapping her for months and months before deciding to go ahead and I’m glad I did. My experience during my surgery all the way to going home was also very good. The team and surgeon were very skilled and caring, checking on me throughout the day and Irem is always there for any questions or if you need anything. The rooms were so clean and modern during my stay and it was also very comfortable. If you bring a companion, they also set up a bed next to the hospital bed and 3 meals a day for their everyday which was a very nice gesture. So good for value! And the team really are the best. Already seeing a steady weight loss 13 days out and Irem gives you all the extra information and medications to go home with so you’re prepared when you get home!

From start to finish and on going I’ve had a perfect surgery along with aftercare.

Maria Robertson

From start to finish and on going I’ve had a perfect surgery along with aftercare. I am from the UK and I was a nervous wreck even laying on the table prior to the surgery I was crying my eyes out, as I was so scared but all the staff and Dr Belen was so reassuring caring and overall lovely. Irem met me as soon as we landed and has been there throughout. I had slight gas pain after which is normal but they was on top of all pain relief, fluids everything! Couldn’t fault the clinic. I’m 10 weeks post-op and 2st 10b down and feel so much more confident and happier. Thank you for changing my life

Everyone at the hospital is lovely, and kind and can not do enough

Annie, UK

I spoke to Irem nearly a year before my surgery. She was the first person I had spoken to when I was doing my research that didn't just want to talk money with me. She asked how I was!!! Everyone at the hospital is lovely, and kind and can not do enough. I would advise anyone to use this hospital. Nothing is too much bother. I am 4 months in and 5 stone down. I have dropped from a size 22/24 to a size 12/14 and got my life back. I could not be more happy with the choice I made.

I like to thank all the staff from nurses, surgeon for making my experience amazing

Tina, UK

antibiotics and fluids through a drip and my incision sites (4 in total) were cleaned and dressings changed every morning.

Gagabe Naq

The care and attention I received at the clinic was exceptional. All my test were done prior to surgery and an interpreter was always there to translate what was being said when the doctor and the medical team came to see me. After my surgery I was kept stable with regular pain relief, antibiotics and fluids through a drip and my incision sites (4 in total) were cleaned and dressings changed every morning.

Cannot recommend this hospital enough, I went alone for surgery and was absolutely fine

Chloe, UK

Cannot recommend this hospital enough, I went alone for surgery and was absolutely fine. Irem and Sasha are fantastic, on hand whenever you need them day or night, the nurses were brilliant, all really friendly and gentle and the surgeon was fantastic too. Everything ran really smoothly, the hospital was really clean and the surgery itself went really well.

I cant recommend Bridge Heath Care enough if your considering bariatric surgery.

Laura Ferguson

I underwent a gastric sleeve in November 2023 and can't thank Irem and the medical team enough for their excellent service and care. Everyone was friendly, professional and ensured I understood everything that was going to happen, asking if I had any questions at every step . The hospital was incredible in the care they delivered and they looked after my nervous husband too, making sure he felt included. Post op care was outstanding and has enabled me to return home feeling confident in my next steps towards a better me. I cant recommend Bridge Heath Care enough if your considering bariatric surgery.

What a good experience

Alice, Turkey

I’ve Been my plastic upper eyelid surgery with that clinic! What a good experience! Best surgical team, best after care !! Thank you so much for everything!

After that, I was brought to the tidy and cozy motel. The driver also got me up in the morning and gave me to Irem

Ruth Rutherford

After that, I was brought to the tidy and cozy motel. The driver also got me up in the morning and gave me to Irem, who was truly wonderful; she put me at ease and stayed with me the majority of the time to clarify what was being stated. The specialist visited me before the treatment, which gave me peace of mind, and the ward personnel was excellent. All I want is to be able to bring Irem into the theater with me until I fall asleep. I chose to return to the hotel instead of staying in the hospital until my departure that evening. Before I left, the nutritionist also gave me some suggestions, but regrettably

If I could give my experience of this surgery 10 stars I would.

Paula, UK

I couldnt have asked for any better- from the VIP transfers to the hospital .. the actual surgery .. the care I received from everyone including the nurses. The surgeon checks up on the before and after surgery. Irem was with me the whole way if I needed her - she is a wee gem! The hotel was lovely. If I could give my experience of this surgery 10 stars I would. Im back home 6 weeks tomorrow and feeling fine!! I didnt even have the gas pain afterwards! I could go on and on about my treatment but honestly, if youre in doubt - do it! Just wish I had sooner.

The whole process was awesome

Carly L, UK

Irem is a wonderful kind lady who will go to any length to ensure you are happy and comfortable. I got a gastric balloon with Dr Belen and Bridge travel, and I also had dentistry work. The whole process was awesome, I did not want to leave Antalya as we were made so welcome, if you are unsure about surgery abroad don’t be, you are in excellent hands with bridge travel!

The staff was amazing; nurses, cleaners and even surgeons

Leann W., Turkey

Would recommend using this company

Rosie C., UK

I had the gastric sleeve after have the balloon for a year. Highly recommend. Very thorough with pre and post operation care. Hotel is very clean and professional. Surgeon is English speaking and so is the health care coordinator, they keep in touch with you and help every step of the way. 2 months in and Ive lost 3 stone

Im so happy I went through with this

Georgia F., UK

I am one week post-op, and honestly couldnt have chosen a better company to go with. It made me feel so comfortable and welcome. I was soooo nervous, but they all made me feel so at ease.

I love the place is so beautiful and nice

Jose, UK

The staff is so professional and the experience is amazing I recommend it. I love the place is so beautiful and nice.

The hospital and staff were all amazing

David, UK

What can I say? Bridge Health Travel has been amazing from start to finish! I decided to have a gastric sleeve after a discussion with BHT! I was given all the information possible to make my choice along with tons of no-pressure advice! From the moment I landed in Turkey, I was met at the airport and driven in a private car to the airport where I was greeted by the amazing Iram! We met the surgeon and straight away were at ease! I 100% made the correct choice in Bridge Heath Travel! The hospital and staff were all amazing! The cost of my surgery I feel was extremely good value and would highly recommend Bridge Heath Travel and Iram to anyone thinking of having this type of surgery! I had my op on the 26th of Sept 23 and its now the 5th of December 23 and Ive lost 5stone 5lbs and feel like a completely difference person! Amazing Bridge Heath Travel and Iram.

Would definitely highly recommend

Nicole, UK

Can not fault bridge health travel at all! Had my gastric sleeve on 10/1/2023 after irem being recommended to me and I'm so glad I did! I was anxious excited, nervous scared every emotion you can think of but was really kept at ease the whole time and after surgery the care was incredible, anything I needed was given! And now I'm home the aftercare hasn't stopped I can message any time if I have a query!

I was a solo traveller, but never ever felt alone there

Tracy, UK

I would certainly return and recommend it

Terri, UK

I'm a few days back after having 12 12-month gastric balloon. I went by myself and that was fine as everything was planned very well, pick ups turned up on time each time and Irem took great care of me in the first-class hospital. My first couple of days I felt rough but then quickly got back to feeling like myself by following the eating plan and using the medication provided. I would certainly return and recommend it, now I'm looking forward to the new me.

Bariatric Surgery Consultation - Nurses were lovely and polite

Chelsie, UK

The hospital was lovely and clean. Tests were quick and efficient. Nurses were lovely and polite. The surgeon did a brilliant job, make sure you ask all your questions to put yourself at ease. Irem is on hand for you to call if you have any questions! Hotel was lovely too.

I can’t fault the company at all

Nikki, UK

Wow!! What can I say, what a fantastic team. I can’t fault the company at all. They all looked after me so well and helped me from the moment I enquired to even now being 9 weeks post op. It was a big decision and a scary thing but I never felt so relaxed and at eased the whole way through. They really are amazing. They have changed my life forever and I can’t thank them enough. I would recommend over and over again. Thank you

The surgeon is very keen to please and so helpful if you want to know anything

Jordan H, UK

I had the most amazing experience with Bridge health travel. Irem was incredible and helpful. The nurses had little English however the most amazing effort. I loved them.

Very nice and professional staff

Cora, UK

Very nice and professional staff. I 100% recommend this place if you are looking to get any procedure done.

The next day I was taken down for surgery, everything went perfectly well no complications

Yvonne H, UK

What an amazing experience with the most kind, caring and professional team. When me and my son landing in Antalya we were met by a private transfer driver who gave us an ice-cold bottle of water and drove us in comfort to the hospital. On arrival I met Irem who welcomed me and my son, Irem spoke excellent English. She answered all questions, Irem is extremely knowledgeable in her field of work and with her own nursing experience, I knew I was just fine. The first day of arriving at the hospital, I had received all the test of physical health tests using high-tech equipment - these tests were all completed the same day one after another with excellent coordination. The facilities were clean, tidy and the staff extremely friendly, they all took the time to get to know you as a Person, I was never seen or never felt like I was just another one of their patients. The room was spacious and the private en-suite room was cleaned regularly 3-4 times a day, with fresh towels and blankets every day, a bed was provided for my son (who stated is was comfortable) he was also offered 3 meals per day from the hospital. But being a fussy eater Irem took the time out of her day/night to arrange a food delivery to be brought to the hotel for my son, some nights this could be around 8-9 0clock when Irem had already done a full days work! But nothing was to much of an effort for Irem, she didn’t only look after me amazingly she also looked after my 17yr old son. I met the surgeon Dr Belen who was very friendly and encouraged questions. He would then explain all questions and fully explained the full procedure with the help of Irem. Dr Belen is extremely knowledgeable and extremely professional, after meeting him I immediately know I was in good hands. The next day I was taken down for surgery, everything went perfectly well no complications. I was monitored by the most amazing, caring, professional nurses, my son only being 17yrs old got a little frighted whilst I was in recovery, he messaged Irem and Irem rang him and talked him through everything that was happening on the machines (bleeping) was all normal, Irem contacted the nurses on duty and arrange for them to spend a bit of time with my son for reassurance Nothing was too much trouble for them. A couple of days later I had a 1-2-1 with the dietician who explained all information to me in great depth. my wasting journey post-surgery I’m great detail. I was given a bag of aftercare materials, these included vitamins, protein powders, literature regarding my surgery and full copy of my medical notes along with a DVD of the surgery. Being in the medical profession myself and going through this experience. I would highly recommend this company. If you are looking for kind, caring, professional, dignified care then don’t hesitate you have found the right team with Irem and her team. there is always the worry about “going abroad” for surgery, I had them worries and doubt myself, but if there is one thing I can say is you really don’t need to worry, I spent so much time leading to the operation worrying when I didn’t need to. I am 10 days post-op, and couldn’t be happier than I am right now, iv had no complications at all, drinking fine, I’m currently on the thicker fluid stage so made homemade soups they are going down just fine. I haven’t had any pain relief since leaving the hospital, not because I wasn’t supples them , I was but I haven’t needed them.

Highly recommend this company and the team, I really wish I’d done it years ago

Lauren, UK

I flew to Antalya on the 28th April to have a gastric balloon. It was a really smooth and professional experience. I was met by a chauffeur at the airport, was taken straight to the hospital (clean, functional) and after tests and briefings by the nurse Iram and the surgeon , was taken down for the Op a few hours later. Everything went smoothly and as soon as I was cleared by the nurses I was taken by taxi to the hotel with Iram (nurse/translator/God send). The hotel was beautiful, right on the seafront with amazing views and a spotless, very modern room. I stayed one night and flew home the next morning, again after a private taxi back to the airport was sorted by Iram. I’ve been given a clear eating plan and after some discomfort and sickness (all normal and expected) I’m feeling better than ever. In 10 days I’ve lost 10 pound, and I’m now slowly reintroducing solids and exercise. Highly recommend this company and the team, I really wish I’d done it years ago. Thank you all so much x

Hospital staff were friendly and helpful

Rachel, UK

Gastric Sleeve. Bridge Health Travel have the most amazing lady Irem who in my opinion is the heart and soul of Bridge Health Travel. Her customer service is beyond the expected levels. Every question from the first port of contact to continuing support post op is dealt with effectively and quickly. The surgeon was knowledgeable and checked in several times pre and post op. Hospital staff were friendly and helpful. As a whole I can’t fault my experience. I’m only just over a week post op so far no regrets and glad I used Bridge Health Travel as part of my journey.

I would fully recommend them

Sally, UK

Highly recommended

Jade B., UK

Very helpful coordinator, always advises and helps when there are doubts

Doris, UK

Bariatric Surgery Consultation At first I was very scared because it was my first surgery. Price was good, care was good. Lots of research before surgery. Very clean hospital (I think the only thing that could be improved are beds for the accompanying person). Very helpful coordinator, always advises and helps when there are doubts. She never hesitated to answer and was always loved. I rate it 5 stars.

The hospital is immaculate and the surgeon was very helpful with aftercare

Samantha W., UK

I would definitely recommend this service. The hospital is immaculate and the surgeon was very helpful with aftercare. Irem is a godsend.

Bridge Health Travel to anyone wanted to have this surgery. Thank you Irem!

Furkan Demiryürek

The nurses were always attentive. I was encouraged to get up and walk soon after surgery to get things moving again and speed up recovery. Before choosing to have my surgery at this clinic I had read lots of great reviews and was very impressed. I can honestly say that choosing this clinic was the best choice for me and I would definitely recommend Bridge Health Travel to anyone wanted to have this surgery. Thank you Irem!

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish

Gemma, UK

I can’t recommend Bridgehealth enough. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Irem is amazing from video calls to making you feel so at ease even 3 mths after surgery checking up on me. I had so many nerves but Irem made my stay so easy. The aftercare is also amazing x

Lou, UK

I have recently been for my gastric sleeve over in Antalya with the Lovely Irem and her team.

I couldn’t have asked for a better surgery

Afya, UK

I had the gastric sleeve the 16/01 and my experience has been amazing, so far I have lost 16kg, the nurses team were amazing. Irem was fantastic in translating any queries that I had my stitches are healing perfectly and I couldn’t have asked for a better surgery.

My experience has been excellent

Kimberley B, UK

What can I say absolutely excellent care from enquiry to the aftercare and support. Irem the care co ordinator saw the whole process through from the very start . Arrived and was collected from the airport and met in person at the hospital by Irem pre operative tests very through bloods, ultrasound, X-ray, echocardiogram, only then cleared for surgery. Irem was there supporting at every step even escorting me to surgery and was there when I returned to my room. Hospital was spotless and medical staff very competent and skilled. Surgeon was available to answer questions and reassure. Nutrition support ongoing. My experience has been excellent.

Everything was explained in great detail and the care I received really was A plus

Lisa, UK

Irem and her team are absolutely amazing! My whole journey for my gastric sleeve went extremely smooth. Everything was explained in great detail and the care I received really was A plus. Since being home Irem has been available to answer any questions I’ve had. Nothing is too much for the team.

Bariatric Surgery Consultation - Aftercare was amazing

Debbie dunlop, UK

What an amazing experience well looked after. Aftercare was amazing. I'm so grateful for everything you have done for me. Up walking 4 hours after surgery and still doing good 12 days post-op. I would highly recommend this surgeon and Iram.

I couldn’t have asked for more

Ryan, UK

From booking to arriving to leaving the experience I had was 5 stars. I couldn’t have asked for more. The price was good, the care given was outstanding. Nearly 3 months post op and it’s changed my life. Sleeve surgery was right for me and I am continuing to lose weight slowly to hit my goal long term.

I'm grateful to them for all their services

Onur C, US

They helped me with everything. They were very attentive and friendly. You definitely should visit them. I'm sure you will love this service. I'm grateful to them for all their services.

I'm home now almost a week post op and I've lost 1 stone - I'm feeling fantastic

Chloe M, UK

Wow, what can I say? I had the best experience thanks to bridge health travel (Irem) everything was discussed before I even got a on a plane. As soon as you get to the medstar hospital Irem will be waiting for you with a smile!! You are admitted straight away and the tests begin (they don't waste any time) after my surgery I was always checked on by the nurses/my surgeon and Irem. Going abroad for surgery scared the life out of me but now that I've experienced it I would 100% recommend and go back again! I'm home now almost a week post op and I've lost 1 stone - I'm feeling fantastic!! Thank you everyone at bridge health travel for helping me be a better and healthier me

Everyone was extremely helpful

Satdeep, UK

Amazed at the level of care and hospitality given by Irem and those at the hospital. Am shocked at how efficient everything was and no time was wasted between the procedures and seeing the Dr. Everyone was extremely helpful and Irem was with us every step of the way and took tremendous care of us. She took care of everything for us. From the endoscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasound, blood tests, and pharmacy visit she was with us every step of the way and even recommended shops near our hotel to purchase food and the diet needed for these procedures. She is a gem. The hospital was immaculate.

I'm a few days back after having 12 12-month gastric balloon.

Alexandra Lawrence

She made me feel at ease and was there most of the way to explain what was being said

Millicent N., UK

I was received warmly from the airport in a lovely VIP transfer 5*. I was then taken to the hotel which was clean and comfortable. The driver also picked me up in the morning and handed me over to Irem who I must say was so amazing, she made me feel at ease and was there most of the way to explain what was being said. The ward staff were brilliant and the consultant also paid me a visit prior to the procedure which I found reassuring. I only wish Irem was allowed to come into theatre with me until I was asleep. I had the option to stay in the hospital till my flight that evening but decided to go back to the hotel. I also got some advice from the dietician before my departure but unfortunately, she was unwell for the follow-up call, I was however given all the information I needed. Definitely good value for money and would use them again.

I recently returned after having a gastric balloon. Irem was great from the very first enquiry to the aftercare after the procedure. Would definitely recommend Thanks

I am now home with no residual pain, just getting used to my new diet and tiny tummy

Brooke B, UK

What a fantastic experience. Upon landing in Antalya we were met by a private transfer driver who drove us in comfort to the hospital (real hospital, not a small clinic). There I met Irem who welcomed myself and husband warmly and spoke excellent English. She answered all questions and was able to calm my nerves entirely. Irem was incredibly knowledgable - with her own nursing experience - so we knew I was in good hands. In 2 hours of arriving at the (very clean) hospital, I had received a multitude of physical health tests using high-tech equipment - these tests would have taken place over months in the UK so I was impressed! The facilities were clean, tidy and the staff extremely friendly. Our private en-suite rooms were cleaned regularly, with fresh towels and blankets every day, if not more often. My husband who travelled with me was offered 3 meals per day from the hospital. I met the surgeon - who performs bariatric surgery solely - who was very friendly and encouraged questions. He explained, with the help of Irem, what was going to happen and how long I would be in surgery etc. On the day I was taken to surgery, everything went perfectly well. I was monitored by the loveliest nurses very regularly to ensure my post-op condition was good. Nothing was too much trouble, they are so efficient and all procedures were done absolutely as you would see in the UK (just quicker). I had a 1-2-1 conversation with a dietician who explained my wasting journey post-surgery I’m great detail. I was given a giant bag of vitamins, protein powders, literature regarding my surgery - what to expect etc and a comprehensive copy of my medical notes. I was taken by private transfer to the hotel, which was lovely in a fabulous location. Myself and husband were very comfortable throughout. I would recommend this company wholeheartedly. I think there is always the worry about “going abroad” for surgery, but I was so impressed by the efficiency, cleanliness, friendliness and knowledge of the team throughout. I believe you get more than what you pay for and I am very excited to start my new weight loss journey post-surgery. I am now home with no residual pain, just getting used to my new diet and tiny tummy. Thanks all! Really appreciate you x Treated by: Mrs İrem GÜLER

I would definitely recommend

Jess, UK

I had such an amazing experience with the team from the moment I was picked up from the airport until the day I left! Irem is honestly one of a kind and was so supportive from day one and throughout my gastric balloon procedure. I would definitely recommend.

Everything was thoroughly explained at all points, tests were extremely thorough

Natalya, UK

I went to Turkey in September 2023 for gastric sleeve surgery. We were picked up at the airport in a private transfer and taken to the hospital and greeted by the wonderful Irem. The staff were amazing, the nurses and staff at the hospital, the cleaners, the surgeon were all brilliant. Irem took care of me and was there every step of the way, any questions were answered and I felt so at ease. Everything was thoroughly explained at all points, tests were extremely thorough. Thankyou Bridge Health Travel for giving me the best possible service and giving me a new lease of life! X

She talked me through everything and explained everything I needed to know

Kayleigh B, UK

I couldn’t recommend this company enough, I was like any other patient scared and didn’t know what to expect but soon as I got off the plane I was welcomed straight away by a vip taxi that took us to the hospital where I met the amazing Iram, she talked me through everything and explained everything I needed to know. The hospital itself was so clean we had cleaners come in our room about 4 times a day, also they were amazing with our companion and give them meals 3 times a day. I had abit of complications after surgery where I needed 3 blood transfusions but yet again irem, the surgeon and her team made me feel so at ease and not worried. Day 4 we went to a hotel by vip transfers and the hotel was amazing. Since getting home irem messages me or could ring me anytime I need to ask a question. Honestly, I couldn’t recommend this company enough but most of all to irem for changing my life

My overall experience was nothing short of amazing

Vanessa Lorenzo, UK

Irem's support and care throughout my entire hospital stay, from the initial consultation to the post-operative phase, was nothing short of exceptional. She walked me through every aspect of the gastric sleeve surgery, ensuring I had a clear understanding of what to expect. Irem also oversaw a comprehensive examination of my body to ensure my organs and overall health were in good condition, leaving no room for uncertainty. Her reassuring presence made me feel incredibly safe and well-cared for throughout the entire process, which was immensely comforting. The post-operative phase was marked by a seamless experience, with everything going perfectly according to plan. Irem remained a constant source of guidance, always available to address any questions or concerns I had. She provided comprehensive and professional insights into the post-surgery diet and nutrition plan, covering all the necessary vitamins and nutrients I needed to maintain my health and well-being. My overall experience was nothing short of amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend Irem's services to anyone considering gastric sleeve surgery. Her expertise, support, and commitment to patient care made a significant difference in my journey, and I have full confidence that she can offer the same exceptional support to others seeking a similar transformation.

I couldn't recommend them enough

Kinga, UK

I highly recommend this place to anyone who is wanting any work done. I genuinely couldn't explain how exceptional they were, from the very start to the very end. Super clean and friendly place, who treat you like VIP. Every single staff member genuinely cares for you and is always making sure you are OK. I even had cleaners coming to me all the time and making sure I'm OK or if I needed anything. Also, there was an Amazing lady called Irem who assisted me through everything, and she also kept in contact with my husband who was back home, to tell him everything was OK with me and assured him all the way whilst I was in recovery. But honestly, me explaining my experience is nothing compared to the actual experience. I couldn't recommend them enough

The standard of care we received from the clinical team was fantastic

Lea J., Turkey

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, Irems 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(Id 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 dont 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 hadnt expected the level & standard of care after reading & hearing stories of surgery abroad; how wrong we were - Im 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, youre all awesomethank-you for your care

Fantastic and been very helpful in explaining everything

Donna D., UK

Ive just returned in the last week from having gastric sleeve surgery. I originally planned to have a mini bypass but the surgeon was amazing and after looking at blood tests etc decided I didnt need that and the sleeve would be fine. Irem has been fantastic and been very helpful in explaining everything, arranging the surgery and also my hotel for afterwards before going home. I ended up having the sleeve surgery and my gallbladder out as I had stones which were luckily picked up by scans at the hospital. Irem, the surgeon and all the nurses were so helpful and kind and truly looked after me as I were on my own. Thank you

Feel so much more confident and happier

Demi, UK

From start to finish and on going Ive had a perfect surgery along with aftercare. I am from the UK and I was a nervous wreck even laying on the table prior to the surgery I was crying my eyes out, as I was so scared but all the staff and Dr Belen was so reassuring caring and overall lovely. Irem met me as soon as we landed and has been there throughout. I had slight gas pain after which is normal but they was on top of all pain relief, fluids everything! Couldnt fault the clinic. Im 10 weeks post-op and 2st 10b down and feel so much more confident and happier. Thank you for changing my life
