The Gastric Band Procedure
The gastric band is a tool to help with weight loss. A surgeon places an adjustable band around the top part of the stomach. This makes the stomach smaller, so you feel full after eating less food. The procedure is less invasive than other weight-loss surgeries. Patients can expect a quick recovery and minimal downtime. Many people lose between 15 and 20 kg after this treatment.

The hospital has a truly family atmosphere. The staff and doctors are extremely attentive and friendly. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. I'd like to thank Mr. Murat Aydın, who successfully performed my ACL and meniscus surgery, and Mr. Doğukan Akgüç, who meticulously monitored my physical therapy process, for their care and dedication.

My name is Morgann CORNEC, and I had the immense privilege of traveling to Turkey from August 3rd to August 17th for an experience that truly marked a turning point in my life. My goal was to undergo a cosmetic surgery procedure at BAH Hospital in Darica, specifically to enhance my pectoral muscles. This journey exceeded all my expectations, and I can say without hesitation that it has been one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life.
From the moment I arrived, the support was impeccable. Every detail, from the airport to the hotel, and from the hotel to the hospital, was orchestrated with remarkable professionalism. The team at BAH stands out not only for their unmatched expertise in the field of cosmetic surgery but also for their complete dedication to providing personalized and humane care.
I was absolutely amazed by this experience, both on a human and social level. The modernity of the facilities and the quality of care provided far exceed anything I have encountered elsewhere, even in France, one of the world's major powers. The surgery itself went perfectly, and although my hospital stay was extended from 2 to 5 days, it was a testament to the medical team's constant commitment to ensuring my health in every detail. Their day and night monitoring is simply incredible.
Now, back in France, I continue to receive daily nursing care to ensure optimal healing. I cannot recommend BAH Hospital in Darica highly enough for any cosmetic surgery procedure. If you are still hesitating, don’t wait any longer: a dream awaits you in Turkey with BAH. You deserve the best, and this establishment truly lives up to the highest expectations.

I brought my son to this hospital twice. The first time, he had an earache. The emergency room doctor was excellent in his diagnosis and treatment. The staff was attentive, and I thank him for that. However, the other day, my son had a headache and weakness. My wife took him to the pediatrician, Zeynep, who said, "You've been here early, and your throat has started to get sore." She prescribed antibiotics directly. When I looked up sore throats online, it said that a swab is taken for sore throats to determine whether they're viral or bacterial. I asked my wife if they had done a test. She said, "No, they just examined the throat and didn't test it." It's just a swab test; the results come back in 15 minutes. The doctor just looked at the swab and prescribed the antibiotics. I didn't feel comfortable, so I took him to another doctor. It turned out the child had hand-foot disease. Antibiotics aren't prescribed for viral infections. They prescribe antibiotics for children without direct diagnosis, without testing, without knowing the cause. With this illness, we would have experienced more harm than good from antibiotics. It was going to kill the beneficial bacteria in my child's gut for nothing. It's no longer a joke to just say, "He's a doctor, he's the one who gives what he knows." And my child got through it in two or three days, drinking plenty of fluids, resting with a throat spray and vitamins. We were going to use antibiotics for 10 days for nothing. Thankfully, we still have doctors who care about children's health. God forbid we meet those doctors. What can I say?

This hospital is definitely not foreigner-friendly. I had a cold and came here because it was the closest hospital to my location. I was shocked when they tried to charge me 2,200 Turkish lira (over 50 USD) for just one IV injection. This inflated price seems to apply only to foreigners — locals pay significantly less for the same treatment. I ended up going to Farabi State Hospital instead, where I received the same service completely free of charge

I enter the emergency room and all the patients are admitted before me. There's no such thing as calling out. It's like a state hospital, no different from Farabi. It's the opposite. In Farabi state hospitals, they call out to the patient and let them in. Patients are so used to it that they all come in at the same time and talk at the same time for the examination. There's no such thing as patient privacy at all. You treat the patient as a customer and a currency. They say there are urgent patients, but it doesn't seem like anyone has an emergency. A gentleman was called to complain, but he hasn't even arrived yet. Thank you for this indifference.
