Patient Testimonials

International Patient Reviews for Facial Aesthetic Surgery in Istanbul

quote

“I chose gastric sleeve in Istanbul with Dr. Sinan. The pathway—from pre-op diet to vitamins—was crystal clear. Down 19 kg in 3.5 months and reflux is gone.”

Elena V.

Italy

“My gastric bypass was selected because of diabetes and severe reflux. Meds are reduced and weight is consistently dropping. Excellent hospital and caring team.”

Omar A.

“I started with a gastric balloon to avoid surgery. Lost the first 10 kg safely and built habits. The coaching and follow-ups in Istanbul kept me on track.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy), gastric bypass, gastric balloon (including swallowable), plus laparoscopic/robotic bariatric surgery and selected revision cases. Track record: 1750+ sleeves, 500+ bypass, 1100+ balloons.

Adults with BMI ≥40, or BMI 35–39.9 with obesity-related conditions (type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension) after unsuccessful medical weight-loss attempts.

Sleeve: reduces stomach size; excellent for many first-time patients.

Bypass: restriction + mild malabsorption; favored for severe reflux, higher BMI, diabetes control, or revision.

Balloon: non-surgical 4–12-month aid to jump-start loss or prepare for surgery. Choice follows full evaluation.

Average excess-weight loss: 60–70% at 12–18 months for sleeve; 70–80% for bypass. Balloon typically achieves 10–15% total body weight with diet coaching. Results vary by adherence.

Both use small incisions. Robotic assistance can enhance precision and ergonomics in select anatomies; decision is individualized after imaging and examination.

Most sleeve/bypass patients stay 1–2 nights; desk work in 7–14 days; gradual activity over 4–6 weeks. Balloon is an outpatient procedure.

Bleeding, leak, infection, blood clots, reflux (procedure-dependent), or nutritional deficiencies. A personal risk profile and prevention plan are discussed during informed consent.

Labs, ECG, chest X-ray if indicated, abdominal ultrasound, endoscopy when needed, anesthesiology clearance, and a 2-week pre-op diet in many cases.

Many patients experience remission or significant improvement of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea after weight loss—outcomes are monitored with your physicians.

Yes—revision cases and hiatal/ventral hernia repair can be planned with bariatric surgery when appropriate to reduce total downtime.
