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!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
