Has anyone had surgery in Istanbul, Turkey?

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?

Would you recommend it?

yes, I'm healing well, one month post op and training for a marathon, not happy with the scarring, but I'm black so I expected it to be a little worse but not this bad

Turkey worries me ever since Kashoggi got murdered. I'm sure your surgical hospital will be fine, but please don't go to anyone's embassies. Don't want to lose my new friend Kelly before I can hear more of her story!

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!!

Hiya - please could you clarify what TSG stands for? I've googled TSG Hospital in turkey and cannot find it?

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
