Travel For Med Reviews 23

I am Zafer IKIZ of Melbourne Australia. On April 25th I went over to Istanbul so I can get loose skin removed from under my arms and tummy region. Dr Tahsin Guroglu was the Plastic Surgeon. Operation went very well. Pre Operation was amazing. The surgeon was great. Very professional. His practice (consulting rooms) very clean. Professionalism is 100%. He ran me through the whole procedure and told what I needed to do when I came back to Australia. No infections, no complications. I would highly recommend Dr Tahsin Guroglu.

I underwent a gastric sleeve procedure in Turkey, and I must say it was a transformative experience. The medical team exhibited unparalleled professionalism and competence throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the post-surgery follow-ups, their attention to detail and commitment to patient well-being were truly commendable.

The facility itself was state-of-the-art, equipped with the latest technology and adhering to stringent safety standards. The medical staff took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes, ensuring that I felt well-informed and confident in my decision.

One aspect that stood out significantly was the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Despite being in a foreign country, I felt an incredible sense of support and care from everyone involved. The nurses, doctors, and administrative staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and reassured.

The post-operative care was equally impressive. The medical team maintained regular communication, monitoring my progress and addressing any concerns promptly. This level of attentiveness greatly contributed to a smooth recovery process.

Beyond the medical aspect, the cultural experience in Turkey added an extra layer of richness to my journey. The hospitality extended by the locals and the vibrant atmosphere of the city enhanced my overall well-being during the recovery period.

In conclusion, my gastric sleeve experience in Turkey exceeded my expectations. The combination of world-class medical care, a supportive and friendly staff, and the cultural richness of the surroundings made this journey not just a medical procedure but a life-changing and positive adventure. I highly recommend the clinic and the dedicated team for anyone considering similar procedures.

I visited Istanbul with the Travel For Med group in October 2022 for Gastric Sleeve surgery.. From the moment I was in there care which was the moment my plane landed I was given 5* treatment.. I was collected from the airport and taken to my designated hospital directly (30 minute) transfer, my flight was delayed so I arrived 6 hours later than planned but they was very understanding and adjusted there itinary for me.. I was very anxious as I was travelling alone but the nursing staff was lovely, there's a bit of a language barrier so I'd advise Google translate to help, but some staff can speak English, my Co ordinator Lea came the next morning before surgery to see how I was, she was amazing, any concerns she would sort out, although I never had any issues but it was great to see a friendly face and help was there if you needed it.. The hospital was more like a 5*hotel, immaculately clean. My surgeon Professor Yunus came to see me before surgery, he totally put my nerves at ease, I was taken to surgery where he was there laughing and joking with me trying to ease my anxious mind.. The surgery went well and was given 5* aftercare, nurses were very attentive and I received better care in Turkey than I would of received here in the UK..the day after surgery and everyday until I left Pro Yunus came to see me to see how I was, genuine aftercare.. My Co ordinator popped by lots too, if I needed her she was just a message away, she came daily regardless, and brought me all the meds, and items I'd need for the following days after discharge.. I continued to rest for several days then I was transferred to a nearby (2 minute drive) 5* Hotel, we were greeted and given the WiFi details, shown to our rooms, here we stayed for 24 hours for extra rest time.. We were free to walk around the local area but I choose to catch up on some serious sleep in the super comfy bed.. I was collected at 4am for my airport transfer, again great service, dropped at airport, went to assistance where I waited to board my flight... From the moment my journey in Istanbul began Travel for Med provided around the clock care, I maybe travelled alone but I never felt alone as there kindness and care was 24/7..My gastric sleeve journey has been very hard but the easiest part was using the company I choose, I'm now 10 months on from the surgery and I've lost 8 stone and still loosing, no issues and there's still our WhatsApp group if we have any concerns I'll be needing further surgery in the future and I shall not hesitate to use the Travel For Med group once more.. Please don't let a few nightmare stories of other company's put you off surgery abroad, my experience was better than the treatment I would've received here in the UK..

I felt in safe handd. No problems at all with Surgery. Communication was brilliant. My flight was cancelled but team rearranged really quickly and without difficulty. So glad I had procedure in with travel for med..

Hi, my name is Emily and I underwent bariatric surgery at this clinic last month. I was struggling with obesity for years and was afraid of trying surgery. But the patient representatives, Mr Saro and Mrs Zehra, made me feel comfortable and confident. The surgery went smoothly, and the post-operative care was excellent. I'm feeling great and more confident than ever. Thank you, team!

After doing my research and speaking to many companies I decided on this one! Biggest mistake of my life, I had a leaking gastric sleeve and ended up in hospital for 3 months back in the UK, no leak test was given in turkey nor did they show any empathy for my situation!! Stay away !!!

I wanted to do gastric sleeve.I found out about Travelformed online and I decided to choose them because they were very informative about the surgeon, the price, procedure and answered all my question. I travelled from UK to Turkey. I was in very good hands and was taken care of in the hospital. They also accommodated my sister who accompanied me. The hospital is clean and overall great experience

I really recommend this clinic for who wants to do the gastric sleeve. I’m so happy about the result. Is been just 4 month and I lost already 30kg .. I was always sad about my weight, now I can wear all the clothes I like, go to the beach and fell confident. Thanks to Nicole and Saro they been with my from the day one of my trip. They were translating me and helping me on my recovery. Even after the surgery they stay with you in contact they are amazing!! Thanks to Zehra Omken that she always text me asking me how I fell and remind me few important steps to follow on this stage of my surgery. 5 starts for you guys!!

Used this company to travel to turkey 🇹🇷 for Gastric sleeve surgery, they were only a call or txt away for everything I needed, I had a very positive experience beautiful modern hospital, doctors and nurses were very nice and used translation on phone when i didn't understand the language, I have lost nearly 4 stone in nearly 4 months. I would recommend this company they have kept in touch through WhatsApp chat

Professional to the end,
Picked up and well looked after travelling shortly after surgery was a bit grim but at least it’s over with,
The place was immaculate and I have no regrets, the first month is all about recovery
Diets are easier but this is long term

I researched online and found Travel For Med also people recommend me also price was good too when I went for surgery there I had full help from the staff they were very friendly also the surgeon didn’t speak much English but they was translator there too I was told about pro and cons about my surgery was a good experience also can take a loved one with you if u don’t want to go alone for moral support.

I travelled solo to Istanbul on September 27th 2022 for a gastric sleeve. I was collected by private taxi at Airport and took to hotel. I arrived early hours of morning . My coordinators collected me from hotel in the morning and took me to hospital and stayed with me whilst I got all pre op tests. Then I was took to my private room which was a great size en suite with tv. They stayed until I was changed and settled and left about 1 hour before my up. In this time I just relaxed and mentally prepared for my operation . My coordinators returned when I was brought back to ward . Their English was excellent and I was happy to see two familiar faces when I woke up . Lea reassured me i would be ok and what to expect after op. I had no pain and just slight sickness but was back up on my feet after a short time .Day 2 the surgeon come to visit with all my meds vitamins and shakes , gave me a report on my op everything he done . I can not fault this company from booking to returning home for me they are 10/10. I was on the lower side bmi but still over weight. I have been a steady loser but only 2.5 lbs a week on average . I feel more confident and more my old self now .

Excellent customer service. I was very pleased how professional friendly and caring the management and staff were. I will be definitely recommending all my friends and family to them. Thank you

I had an awesome experience when I had my surgery through Travel for Med. I was liaising with Saro from the beginning who was very informative of the whole procedure. I was traveling from Australia to Turkey and was in a foreign country so naturally I was a little anxious. However Saro and all other staff were very hospitable. He was attentive during my stay at the hospital and even after post surgery. He was available at all times and was able to answer all my questions and comfort me. I felt like I was in safe hands and had the best experience. To this day we keep in contact and he is able to assist with me any queries I have. I have recommended him to all my friends who have considered similar surgeries.
