Before that, my condition was serious, because in fact I felt bad every day for many years. In the morning I could not wake up for several hours, during the day I was hampered by a weakness with which I could not cope, in the evening and at night there was severe insomnia. In this state, I could not lead a normal life. This is a very brief, brief description of my condition, which I have had for about the past 15 years, a detailed list of symptoms may take more than one leaf, and I decided not to describe it. In 2015, I decided to get tested in Russia, and I approached him very seriously. I visited several dozens of different doctors, described my condition in detail, and asked for help. I was surveyed in Russia in 2015, 2016 and 2017. About the result I will say briefly: they did not help me. Totally. Therefore, in 2018 I applied for help to the Bookimed company, and they recommended me to be examined in the Turkish hospital Medipol, where I traveled in December 2018. It took the Turkish doctors three days to find the cause of my problems: this is a severe vitamin D deficiency. The therapist Derya Argun helped me, she was able to name the cause of the problems and prescribe an analysis for vitamin D in a few minutes. When the analysis revealed the cause, I immediately began to correct vitamin D. And my condition changed. I began to feel as good as I had not felt for many years. I had trouble sleeping, weakness and my well-being completely changed. Now I can get up at 6 am, I can feel normal all day, I can fall asleep in less than one hour. I have been following my condition for two weeks, and the result is stable. In fact, I feel so good, like I was reborn. And I was given precise recommendations on how and how many months to take vitamin D, how often to monitor its amount in the blood, so I know what I need to do next.\r\n    In the additional part of the review I will write other details of my trip. When I flew out of Moscow, I had an assumption that the cause of the problem was a disease of the digestive organs, so on the first day I first went for an examination by a gastroenterologist. For a plausible review, it should be noted that there is a noticeable drawback in the organization of Medipol’s work - the work of the doctors is accompanied by haste, vanity, and disorganization. Transfer from the hotel once was half an hour late. Before the trip, we agreed that I would go to a gastroenterologist. But when I arrived, at first the lady did not accept me for more than an hour, and then left the office, and without a word took another patient, although I had already paid money for the consultation and waited more than an hour. The translator suggested going to another doctor. I specially pre-printed my list of symptoms on a sheet and told the translator that I needed a literal translation, and the translator removed some phrases from my text without warning, as I was in a hurry. And this tendency to do everything quickly is negative. I had an abdominal ultrasound scan, but the results that I was given did not indicate any size of the gallbladder (number in millimeters) or other organs. The doctor then explained to me that they have many patients, and therefore they do not write detailed characteristics in the conclusions, but simply confine themselves to words like \"parameter normal\". That is, the documents with the results contain little information. I did a gastroscopy, but when I asked to give me the results of the research on a flash drive (video), they refused. Instead, I printed on paper six photos from the endoscope. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize that in Medipol sometimes not the most modern technologies are used. To the gastroenterologist, I am grateful that he referred me to the therapist Derya Argun, and this is the main thing. But nevertheless, because of the fuss, I could not discuss my health with him in detail, but ideally this possibility should be.\r\n     As for my coordinator, Dmitry Belik, I am generally pleased with his work, but I can only say that I have lost contact with him lately, because, according to Dmitry, he has a lot of work. I would like the connection with the medical coordinator to be stable.\r\n    These are the main details of my trip to Medipol for treatment. As I said, my trip was definitely a success, dramatically changed my life for the better, and I am very pleased with it."},"order":{"diagnostic":{"id":106,"name":{"en":"Consultation with a gastroenterologist"}}},"clinic_info":{"id":85,"name":"Medipol Mega University Hospital","alias":"medipol-mega-hastaneler-kompleksi","flags":[{"name":"is_hide","value":false},{"name":"has_active_agencies","value":false}]},"created_at":"2018-12-27T00:00:00.000+00:00","flags":[{"name":"is_approved","value":true},{"name":"is_anonymously","value":false},{"name":"is_notification_sent","value":false},{"name":"would_recommend","value":false},{"name":"has_client_feedback","value":true},{"name":"deactivated_clinic","value":false}],"summary":{"positive":{"en":"I have been following my condition for two weeks, and the result is stable.

The city has many Joint Commission International-accredited hospitals and highly specialized surgeons. Patients can get laparoscopic fundoplication and robotic surgery. The prices are much lower than in the United States or Western Europe. Often, there are no waiting lists.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Cost savings:</strong> Procedures in Istanbul offer around _price_percent_discount_% savings compared to the average US price.</li> <li><strong>Specialized expertise:</strong> Surgeons like Dr. Halil Alis have authored over 70 scientific gastrointestinal research papers.</li> <li><strong>Complete care:</strong> Packages often include 2–3 days in the hospital, VIP transfers, and a 5-star hotel stay.</li> <li><strong>Technology:</strong> Top facilities use the Da Vinci robotic system for precise, minimally invasive anti-reflux surgery.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Bookimed Expert Insight:</strong> Data shows a big difference in what packages include for this procedure. Some clinics offer surgery-only rates near _op_884_city_107_price_from_. However, premium centers like VM Medical Park Pendik have academic-level surgeons and 24/7 care. Choosing a package with 3 hospital nights is safer. It helps monitor for swallowing problems right after surgery.</p> <p><strong>Patient Consensus:</strong> Patients value all-inclusive bundles that simplify travel logistics. However, patients stress one important step. Confirm if hiatal hernia repair is included in the base price before arrival.</p>","is_active":true,"category":{"id":"68f5f2ea1567cb687e0a7542","name":"faq_content","title":"faq_content"}},{"id":"6ade187cb485eda7e40c01b2","question":"What is the typical hospital stay and recovery time for Laparoscopic Anti-Reflux (GERD) Surgery in Istanbul?","answer":"<p>Laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery in Istanbul typically requires a hospital stay of 1 to 3 days. Most patients get back to light activities in 1 to 2 weeks. Full internal healing and moving to solid foods usually take 6 to 8 weeks.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Hospital duration:</strong> Typical packages include 2 to 3 days of in-hospital monitoring.</li> <li><strong>Initial recovery:</strong> Patients stay in Istanbul for 5 to 7 days for follow-up exams.</li> <li><strong>Dietary stages:</strong> Expect 2 weeks of liquids, then 2 weeks of soft foods before solids.</li> <li><strong>Physical limits:</strong> Avoid lifting more than 5 kilograms for at least 1 month to protect the repairs.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Bookimed Expert Insight:</strong> A 1-day hospital stay is common. But choosing a package with 3 nights, like those at VM Medical Park Florya, helps manage initial gas pain better. Data shows clinics with detailed follow-ups, like Lotus Bariatrics, give extra support. The 8-week dietary change becomes easier to manage.</p> <p><strong>Patient Consensus:</strong> Gas and shoulder pain are common early on, but walking speeds up relief quickly. Patients often find the liquid-to-soft food diet the hardest part. It takes patience for several months.</p>","is_active":true,"category":{"id":"68f5f2ea1567cb687e0a7542","name":"faq_content","title":"faq_content"}},{"id":"6ade18921a1ad11ccf046a12","question":"How can international patients coordinate their trip to Istanbul for Laparoscopic Anti-Reflux (GERD) Surgery?","answer":"<p>International patients coordinate anti-reflux surgery in Istanbul by sending diagnostic reports like manometry and pH monitoring for remote surgical review. Most JCI-accredited hospitals bundle preoperative tests, 2–3 days of hospitalization, and multilingual help into smooth medical travel packages.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Travel timeline:</strong> Plan a 7–10 day stay. This covers the preoperative workup and lets you get safe clearance to fly afterward.</li> <li><strong>Clinical documentation:</strong> Provide upper endoscopy, esophageal manometry, and barium swallow results before you book travel.</li> <li><strong>Package inclusions:</strong> Choose options that cover anesthesia, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), and follow-up exams with specialists.</li> <li><strong>Logistics support:</strong> Arrange VIP airport transfers and 5-star hotel stays through clinics to make recovery easier.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Bookimed Expert Insight:</strong> Price variation in Istanbul often depends on the length of the hospital stay rather than just the surgeon. Basic packages start at _op_884_city_107_price_from_, while premium options like those at VM Medical Park Florya include 5 hotel nights and full board. Patients save about _price_percent_discount_% compared to the US average of _price_compare_US_average_.</p> <p><strong>Patient Consensus:</strong> The first week of recovery is the hardest. Patients suggest getting a local SIM card and focusing on soft food logistics rather than tourism. Confirm the specific procedure type — such as Nissen fundoplication — directly with the surgeon. This helps avoid communication gaps with administrative staff.</p>","is_active":true,"category":{"id":"68f5f2ea1567cb687e0a7542","name":"faq_content","title":"faq_content"}},{"id":"6ade189ef494e7c65c08a512","question":"Who is an ideal candidate for Laparoscopic Anti-Reflux (GERD) Surgery in Istanbul?","answer":"<p>Ideal candidates for laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery in Istanbul have chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Their symptoms do not respond well enough to maximum-dose medications. Eligibility requires objective confirmation via 24-hour pH monitoring and esophageal manometry. These tests make sure there is enough muscle coordination for swallowing after surgery.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Diagnostic confirmation:</strong> Required tests include upper endoscopy (EGD) and 24-hour ambulatory pH monitoring.</li> <li><strong>Structural indications:</strong> A large hiatal hernia that can be repaired with laparoscopic surgery.</li> <li><strong>Medication intolerance:</strong> Patients with severe side effects or complications from long-term proton pump inhibitors.</li> <li><strong>Surgical health:</strong> Ability to tolerate general anesthesia and a 2-3 day hospital stay.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Bookimed Expert Insight:</strong> Istanbul clinics often offer different packages based on diagnostic depth. Basic offers start at _op_884_city_107_price_from_. However, premium packages from providers like Lotus Bariatrics Clinic include necessary pre-op esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). The EGD is part of the price. Patients should focus on centers with multidisciplinary teams. For example, doctors like Dr. Vafi Atalay at Anadolu Medical Center use Johns Hopkins-affiliated protocols. The protocols confirm motility before doctors select between Nissen or partial fundoplication.</p> <p><strong>Patient Consensus:</strong> Patients often emphasize that surgery is a structural fix, not just a symptom mask. They report that objective testing like Bravo monitoring is vital to avoid post-op swallowing
