Having followed Dr Mehmet Deniz's page and his team for a year, I finally built up the courage to make the trip from Zimbabwe to Turkey. I was so confident in them I did the trip alone. I was picked up from the airport, taken to the hotel, next morning met with Victor who would be my coordinator during my stay, had all pre-op tests done and results explained. Met Dr Deniz, who explained the procedure. Woke up from Surgery and was taken to my private suite, very clean room, nurses have limited English but they have so much experience with Gastric Sleeve Patients that we some how understood each other. LOL. Every morning Dr Deniz and his team will come and check up on you and explain/answer any questions you might have. I would say, the first 24 hours post surgery are the hardest, the gas pain is unimaginable, but you literally wake up the next morning feeling like it never happened. I am 19 days post op currently and 7kgs down! I only wish i had done this sooner!!!!!!! Thank you to Dr Deniz and your team! Natasha.xx

Great experience, great journey. Everyone so helpful and caring. Dr Arslan was great and humble. The person who made it all possible and smooth was my co ordinater Devrim , can’t thank him enough. Highly recommended great experience. Loved every bit of it. Looking forward to my journey and a new me.

Ich empfehle Duygu Cabaz als Beraterin!!! Ich wurde am 15.07.2024 operiert bei Dr. Serkan Gökpinar. Mir hat seine Arbeit sehr gut gefallen😍😍ich würde sogar nochmal zu ihn gehen wenn eine op notwendig ist. Seine Hände sind so leicht.Das Krankenhaus personal sowie Hotel Personal eine 10/10 man kann einfach nicht rum meckern. Alle sind so freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Duygu antwortet sehr schnell, da muss man sich keinen Kopf machen. Ich empfehle Duygu !!!! Sie hat mir sehr geholfen, ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Danke Duygu und Dr. Serkan Gökpinar ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍

I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Tuesday with Gozde International Hospitals at Ozel Saglik Hastanesi.I also had a hiatus hernia that had also been repaired by the excellent surgeon Dr Mehmet Deniz.. I travelled from UK by myself, but I never felt alone. I would like to give a big shout out to Victor that always put a smile on my face. The whole team are an excellent family. Thank you all and I cannot wait to update you with my progress.

Had the gastric sleeve in July had Batuhan Yetki as my coordinator and he's amazing I was so worried about having surgery abroad but it's the best thing I've done I've lost 2 stone 2 in 3 weeks and feel so much better in myself I was at the eco hospital in Izmir and I received better care there than I do on the NHS in England

I attended Özel Sağlık Hastanesi for a gastric sleeve surgery by Dr Elgin Aslan in September 2023. The initial Care appeared good however after being rushed around the hospital like a chicken at 7am in the morning (litrilly a group of us running after our coordinator from test to test) despite having them all done in seconds I was given the green light for surgery. I woke up in severe pain however was told it was normal yet the nurses seemed fed up and didn't wanna be there. After telling them I need pain relief I was finally. Given it. I returned home after 3 nights and began the liquid diet as advised followed by the soft diet. Following protein goals as instructed to the tee I quickly found myself STARVING. immediately i thought there was something up as they're supposed to remove 80-85% of your stomach including the top of your stomach called the FONDUS where the hunger hormone cells live. So, why am I hungry 6 weeks post op? I tell them. They say eat more protein..so I do. Again the scales are not moving, why can't I loose weight? Take a food journal they say, adamant that it's all fine and it's my fault. Least forward 5 months PO I decided to get a professional opinion on why I'm so hungry and not loosing weight. (I started at 26 stone 13lbs) and only lost 3 stone in the first 6 weeks not a single 1lb since. What do you know...I have a CT scan privately in the UK to find most of my stomach is still there! This was a fasting CT scan too meaning my stomach was empty at the time of the scan. I've been checked and have no other medical conditions or issues with my health. Godzes drs asked me to once again get in contact with the coordinator which would speak to the 'Big boss' .. not heard a peep other then 'they will contact you soon' but actually haven't. I've even did a GDPR request with my private hospital in the UK. (SPIRE HOSPITAS) and got a copy of my abdo/pelvic CT Scan and sent it to the coordinator along with the consultants letter, still they do not care.. £2750 English pounds I spent plus £300 for the flight and weeks of pain, for what? To heal from a surgery that was not correctly performed by a hospital that concentrates on money over professionalism. Godze are very greedy and want as many surgerys performed.in 1 day as possible meaning mistakes are made. Why I put my life in the hands of this hospital I will never know AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Schlauchmagen Operation 10.6.2024 Die Operation verlief super , der Arzt der mich operiert hatte war super Die Pflege Kräfte der Station waren auch sehr nett und hilfsbereit!!! Das Hotel war auch klasse Die Dame die für mich zuständig ist für die Kommunikation war eine Zeit lang sehr zuverlässig aber dies änderte sich mit der Zeit Ich habe seit etwa 3 Wochen keine Antwort mehr bekommen Schade das dort mit einer lebenslangen Kommunikation geworben wird und dies nicht stattfindet! Ich habe Gott sei dank meinen Arzt in Deutschland der mir zur Seite steht Ich empfehle die Gözdem Klinik für solch eine Operation aber man sollte sich immer bewusst sein das es eine massen Abfertigung ist und erkundigt euch bei euren Hausarzt ob es eine Möglichkeit der weiter Behandlung gibt nach dieser Operation! Aber ich bin total glücklich mit dem Ergebnis und der Heilungsprozess ist super 👍🏻 Danke an meinen Operateur 👍🏻 Dieser bekommt von mir 5 Sterne

Very informative and helpful The care was amazing from start to finish Would highly recommend this company Best decision i made

Alp was my co-ordinator and from the start made me feel completely at ease with the whole process. Arranging the surgery and informing them of flights was easy and painless and information regarding what happens when I land was sent so that I knew what was going on. The hospital was amazing, the pre op tests were thorough, the ward staff and my surgeon, Dr. Mehmet Deniz was fabulous. He answered all my questions, and stopped my nerves as I was nervous as hell about the actual op! Once done, I was up and out of bed within - couple of hours. I never needed to ask for pain medication and although some of the staff struggled with English they made sure I understood everything that they were giving me and what it was for. Discharge was also thorough and we met Dr Deniz and his team, and also a nutritionist to answer any questions that we had. 9 weeks post Op and everything is really good.. no issues, no problems and losing weight really well. I would go back in a heartbeat and wish I had done it sooner!

The Gözde International Hospital, is the best surgeon company in the turkey, the transport was smooth and good , I’ve done a rhinoplasty and I’ve received 24 hours nurses service and after care kits,
