I wasn’t sure at first about travelling to turkey for the surgery. The price was very enticing compared to Australia but I wanted to be sure I was safe. I joined the group on fb to see others experience and gain more knowledge. I ended up connecting with someone in my town, who actually ended up knowing my partner. She had nothing but positive things to say so I took the leap.
I flew solo. I was nervous getting into the transfers and not knowing the language, but once at the hospital everyone spoke English and if they didn’t they always had google translate.
Every process is thoroughly explained. All tests done. I had my surgery the second day after I arrived. Tests the first day followed by surgery. Everything went well. Pain was actually much more minimal than I expected.
After care is amazing. Everything is explained to you and all your questions answered.
I ended up flying home on day 4 by personal choice and it was totally fine. I’ve had zero complications 4 months later and have already lost 27 kilos.
The hospital itself is incredible. It’s like nothing I’ve seen before. So clean!! You’re well looked after. They know exactly what you need before you even have to ask for it!!
I would 100% recommend Dr Doğan and his team. The whole operation is runs so smoothly and cohesively.
I will definitely be going back based on their recommendations for surgery for tummy tuck/ breasts etc when I am ready.
Cannot recommend enough!
We underwent gastric sleeve surgery and our experience was remarkable from start to finish. From the initial consultation, the surgeon was professional, patient, and incredibly thorough. They explained the procedure, risks, and recovery process in a clear manner, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout the entire process, including pre-surgery, surgery day, and post-operative care, we felt genuinely supported and well cared for. The surgeon’s calm and reassuring demeanor made a significant difference during what can be a stressful time. The surgery went smoothly, and the follow-up care was outstanding. Any questions or concerns we had were always addressed promptly and clearly. The surgeon is not only highly skilled and experienced but also a compassionate doctor who truly cares about patient wellbeing. We are very pleased with our decision and the care we received. We would confidently recommend this service to anyone considering gastric sleeve surgery.
I did a lot of research before choosing doctor dogan. I think all up I looked at options and other clinics/ surgeons for about 6 months. I ended up choosing dr Doğan after I joined the Facebook support group and found people who live in my town, asked them questions etc and was 100% confident.
The surgery went great. The team were all friendly and even knew it was my birthday a day after my surgery and all wished me a happy birthday! Which was really nice considering I went there alone and my own family and friends didn’t even text me happy birthday 🤣
I noticed a review saying pain meds weren’t strong enough. It may be different for everyone but you don’t need stronger ones. The first day you are on IV drip pain relief. You HAVE TO WALK WALK WALK. The more you force yourself to get up and walk the quicker the pain goes away. By the third day I didn’t need any pain relief and I actually changed my flight to go home earlier.
I didnt really get to see Dr Doğa much, but I do remember him and another surgeon right before my surgery. I also want to credit the other surgeon too for giving me a successful surgery.
The whole team is a well oiled machine from the second you get off the plane with transfers. To arriving at the hospital and being checked in. To the care you receive before and after the surgery. Nothing is missed and everything is covered.
I feel like it’s all pretty straightforward and follow the guidelines for food and nutrition and you’ll be ok.
I am 7 weeks post op, starting weight 98.8 and now 82 exactly as I type this. (16.8kgs down)
I could never have achieved this without the surgery. I am grateful for the price also as I could never have done this in Australia at Australian prices.
With that said, the hospital in turkey is far superior to any Australian hospital I have been in. It is literally 5 star and the cleanest I have EVER seen!
I am already enquiring for a mummy makeover once I’m able to and will 100% return to turkey and whichever surgeon I am recommended by dr Doğans team as I have full trust in them!
My experience was extremely disappointing; not a single person communicated in English, relying solely on Google Translate. I had a drain fitted for two days, during which I was assured I could have it removed, but my stitches burst while on the plane. I ended up spending 10 days in the hospital and had a vacuum drain for 6 weeks, still needing to visit the dressing clinic twice a week. There was no follow-up from the clinic abroad; they only seemed interested in my payment. Very unsatisfied.
I recently supported two family members in getting gastric bypass surgery. Additionally, I want to share that I've lost over 30kgs since my own revision from gastric sleeve to bypass. It has transformed my life, and I feel much more energetic. If you're thinking about weight loss surgery, the team and their expertise are top-notch. Everything is included in the process.
Everything was fantastic. The team was right there with us at every stage and continues to be today. We are grateful for their assistance. The only challenge we faced was the language barrier with the nursing staff, but we navigated it with the help of a good translator!
