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

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?

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!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
