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 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?

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?

I was at erdem hospital i did my sleeve at 25 december it was great

I am currently waiting for surgery-in less than two hours. I am having surgery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with a surgeon that came highly recommended by Australians and Brits. We currently live in China so we were traveling here on winter holiday SO it did make sense to come here. Cost of my surgery was just $6700 or 5850 Euros-which included everything, but not travel expenses, but again we were already coming here so to me I don't include that in my expenses.

How did the surgery go? x

Yeah ,I wondered too! Hope the Poster is doing okay now.

Hi Guys,

I'm booked to have my sleeve done in Istanbul at Turkiye Hastanesi hospital from Dr Erol Vural. Just wondered if anyone has been here before?

I stumbled across an article about a 25 year old guy from England who died last December after having a sleeve in Turkey and now I'm nervous as hell ?

Any success stories about surgery in Turkey would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance

I can help, if you are still considering. I live in Istanbul and had my op. here.

Good luck & speedy recovery!

Is it that much more $ in Western Europe? I personally would rather pay a little more and be sure it's a safe, clean hospital with qualified doctors. Best of luck you all I guess I'm just very fortunate to have good insurance.

I'm not criticizing anyone's choices or decisions, I just find this very interesting. Good Luck!
