Turkey?

Anyone living in Turkey? I'm an American expat living in Turkey, with my surgeon in Istanbul. Anyone else around my area?

Hi. I was banded in September in Istanbul by a great Doctor. Do you live in Turkey? Planning to come for medical purposes only?

Hi there!! Congrats on your amazing progress (I read your stats!!!!)....So first off, I sent you an email through this system but I guess you never got it? It was detailed as to what info I have already found in turkey and was hoping you could share your experiences with me...pretty please :-) I am THRILLED that there is someone else in Turkey that has done this :-) I am currently in Turkey and will be staying here for atleast a year....so I am seriously looking into this. So far I found (researching now) three places that do this procedure (2 in istanbul and 1 in izmir).....what was your dr.s name in istanbul? Dr. Halil something? I saw a few things about him....? Do you mind if I ask how much the WHOLE procedure cost you? I have clueless in regards to pricing here in TR.

Hoping you can tell me how things are going for you and if you're feeling like a million bucks!! I'm sooo glad I found you on here!!

If you have some free time Id love to hear your details....and if you recommend the procedure here in TR?

Hope to speak soon :-) *I'm in the middle of turkey- konya :-) Where are you?
