Gastric balloon in Turkey: Best Clinics and Costs 2024

All arrangements happened as scheduled, airport transportation, transportation to hospital, hotel reservations. The hotel room was very nice. The hospital was very clean. All staff and doctors were professional and responsive.

I like how professional they were, as soon as I came to the clinic the whole team was very welcoming and filled me with alot of information about the procedure, they help me with my mods and even now that the balloon has been inserted they still keep insomuch with me about the foods I should take

My husband and I put a gastro balloon in the stomach, he for half a year, I for a year.A transfer to the clinic took us from our hotel.They quickly registered, passed blood tests, X-rays, and a covid test.Everything was checked and taken to the procedure.The medical staff is very attentive and caring, after the procedure all the documents were prepared and a transfer came for us.I can recommend this clinic to everyone, especially since their prices are much lower than in other clinics.I will add a review later, since we still have to remove the balloon

The team was very caring and very good and everything was excellent

The medical team were very responsive, helpful and informative. Best experience with a hospital medical team!

Everything was done smoothly from the first interaction towards having the appointment, the operation and getting the support needed after the operation. Highly recommended.

Excellent communication and help setting up my trip to Antalya. The service was professional and the health care was brilliant. A very positive experience at the hospital team . You can be rest assured you are in safe hands

I am extremely pleased that I chose this clinic for such an important step in my life! There is a very friendly and helpful staff, they are always there 24 by 7 and will help you with everything you need (moving around the hospital, support, bring water if you are unable to go for it yourself, make your condition as easy as possible after the operating room, help you take a shower if you need help, comb and braid you hair, they will definitely hold you senile, help you call a taxi to the airport or hotel, tell you what you can visit in Istanbul if you plan to stay there) a wonderful doctor and his assistant came every day and checked my condition, answered all the questions I asked, explained how to cope with problems if they arise. It's been 5 weeks since the operation, I have minus 12 kg and constant support from the clinic. They are super recommended to everyone!!!

Very god and experienced surgeon, I recommend him to everyone who needs bariatric surgery. Unfortunately I can’t say the same about the hospital . The hospital was a big disappointment. Despite nurse Berna it was a big problem to get competent medical care. The staff do not speak English, that is worsening the situation.Very low level of medical qualifications of the nurses . No help from caregivers. I kindly recommend to the surgeon to choose another hospital for the future.

I am now a little over one month out. I am still nauseous and have discomfort and I vomit regularly (a few times a week). I have however lost a lot of weight already almost 20 pounds, I would have ever lost this weight without the balloon. Things they don't tell you is that you will look bloated, to the point that it looks like I'm pregnant. My experience immediately after the insertion of the balloon were extremely bad. I was told this was an easy procedure that you don't need anyone with you. This is false you NEED someone with you. After the procedure you will feel like you are dying, you will not be able to hold anything even water down and will immediately throw it back out. I went back to the hospital and checked myself in for a day and paid to have myself hooked up with IVs. This was pricey I paid almost $800 Canadian for one night at the hospital, but it was necessary as I was extremely dehydrated. I was told that this was normal (it is normal) however the doctor and translator made me feel like I was overreacting by wanting to stay at the hospital. During my stay at the hospital I found out other patients with the balloon also checked themselves in. I wish they were a bit more honest, and advised patients that some people do not handle the first few days well and that some stay at the hospital over night. This being said the hospital staff were very kind and attentive. If you are going to get this Balloon done then either take someone with you so that they can take care of your for the few days after the procedure or prepare to pay for a hospital stay. Lastly DO NOT book your flight the next day like they advised. You will not feel well enough to fly. It took me 4 days after the procedure to feel ok enough to fly. Especially if you are coming from somewhere far like Canada or America. I would recommend this clinic/hospital over other simply because it is a hospital so if you do need to stay the night I feel like it is safer here.
