I don't know anything about Turkey either but I did have my surgery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and it was the best decision I have ever made. Have you googled the surgeon's name? Any reviews there...? I know that seems pretty simple but many Australians and Brits travel for this type of surgery so there may be some reviews of him/her. I picked my surgeon based on the reviews that I saw of him online because a LOT of Australians used him. My total surgery was, including everything, was $6600. This did not include airfare or hotel but we were going there anyway so it was not an issue for me. I would ask the same thing as SusieQ2019, why Turkey? Are you already traveling there? Do you have family or friends there? That would make a big difference for me.

Hi! I am an American currently living in İstanbul- I had sleeve surgery here about 8 months ago. It went very well and I could have never afforded to do it back home in the US. I can try to answer any other questions you have.

Hi,

Thank you all for your replays really appreciated

I have chosen Turkey because of course is much cheaper than uk and because its a Medical Tourism destination for lot of people , and I have been there many times but never did a medical treatment or surgery .

The hard thing is deciding wich hospital .

I have contacted many , the big hospitals like MEDIPOL , LIV, ABICADEM , their prices are just like uk , and found others cheaper like Erdem hospital wich I am considering at the moment but still not sure , for the reviews I found some in WhatClinic and their Facebook page .

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
