Bariatric Surgeries (Weight-loss)

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery is a safe and effective weight-loss procedure that reduces the size of your stomach, helping you eat smaller portions and achieve long-term, healthy weight loss. At Gözde International Hospitals, our expert surgeons, dietitians, and international coordinators work together to guide you toward a healthier and lighter life. What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery? During the procedure, about 75% to 80% of the stomach is gently removed using minimally invasive (laparoscopic) keyhole surgery, leaving a small, banana-shaped stomach. Your intestines are not altered or rerouted, meaning your digestive system continues to absorb food naturally. The surgery helps you lose weight in two ways: Smaller Meals: Because your stomach is much smaller, you feel satisfied after eating only small amounts of food. Less Hunger: The part of the stomach responsible for producing the hunger hormone (ghrelin) is removed, significantly reducing cravings and constant feelings of hunger. Health Benefits Gastric sleeve surgery does much more than improve your appearance. It helps relieve or even reverse many weight-related health problems: Type 2 Diabetes: Blood sugar levels improve quickly, and many patients can stop taking medications or insulin. High Blood Pressure: Decreases pressure on your heart and helps normalize blood pressure. Sleep Apnea: Helps stop nighttime snoring and pauses in breathing, giving you better sleep and more energy. Joint and Back Pain: Relieves heavy strain on your knees, hips, and lower back, making movement much easier. Fatty Liver: Helps your liver shed excess fat and function much better. Who Is It Suitable For? People with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, People with a BMI between 35 and 39.9 who have weight-related health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea, Those who have struggled to keep weight off through diet and exercise alone, Individuals who are motivated to adopt a healthy, balanced lifestyle after surgery. Your final eligibility will be confirmed following thorough health checks and consultations at our hospital. How Is the Surgery Performed? Complete Health Screening: Before surgery, you receive comprehensive blood tests, ultrasound, endoscopy, and doctor check-ups to ensure everything is safe. Minimally Invasive (Keyhole) Technique: Instead of large incisions, the surgeon uses a few tiny openings on the abdomen with high-definition cameras. Quick and Safe: The procedure takes about 45 to 60 minutes. The newly formed stomach line is tested for safety right in the operating room. Recovery and Diet Progression Because it is performed through small keyhole incisions, discomfort is minimal, and healing is quick. Hospital Stay: You will be up and walking just a few hours after surgery. Most patients stay in the hospital for 2 to 3 days before being discharged. Step-by-Step Diet: To protect your stomach, you begin with liquids for the first two weeks, move on to smooth purees, then soft foods, and eventually return to healthy solid meals. Expected Weight Loss Weight loss happens steadily and comfortably: First Month: Most patients lose between 8 and 12 kg. First 6 Months: You can typically expect to lose around 50% of your excess weight. 1 Year: With balanced nutrition and light daily exercise, patients generally lose 60% to 75% of their excess weight permanently.

All-Inclusive Packages: Airport VIP transfers, luxury hotel stay, hospital care, and accommodation for a companion.

Dietitian Support at Home: Our bariatric dietitians stay in touch online after you return home to support your nutrition.  

Gastric Bypass

Gastric bypass is a safe, proven, and long-lasting weight-loss procedure. It works by reducing the size of your stomach and gently adjusting how your intestines absorb calories, making it especially effective for those who struggle with sugar cravings, type 2 diabetes, or chronic acid reflux. At Gözde International Hospitals, our team of dedicated bariatric surgeons, nutritionists, and patient coordinators ensure a smooth and safe transition toward a lighter, healthier life. What Is Gastric Bypass Surgery? During the procedure, the surgeon creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach and connects it directly to a section of the small intestine. As a result, food bypasses most of the stomach and the first part of the digestive tract. The surgery supports weight loss in two primary ways: Smaller Meal Portions: The newly created small stomach pouch fills quickly, allowing you to feel satisfied with modest amounts of food. Controlled Calorie Absorption: Because food bypasses part of the intestine, your body naturally absorbs fewer calories and sugars from meals. Health Benefits Beyond shedding excess weight, gastric bypass provides major metabolic benefits for your overall well-being: Type 2 Diabetes Relief: Blood sugar levels stabilize rapidly, often allowing patients to discontinue diabetes medications and insulin shortly after surgery. Acid Reflux Relief: It is considered one of the most effective surgical solutions for severe heartburn and reflux. Blood Pressure & Cholesterol: Reduces cardiovascular strain, helping bring blood pressure and cholesterol levels into healthy ranges. Better Sleep: Helps eliminate nighttime snoring and sleep apnea, restoring restful sleep. Joint Comfort: Relieving heavy weight from knees, hips, and the back makes movement and daily activities much easier. Who Is It Suitable For? Individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, Individuals with a BMI between 35 and 39.9 who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or severe reflux, Patients who previously had a gastric sleeve and need a revision due to weight regain or acid reflux, People who have tried traditional diets and fitness plans without sustained success, Candidates ready to adopt healthy habits and take recommended daily vitamin supplements. Final medical suitability is confirmed after a thorough evaluation and routine pre-op checks at our hospital. How Is the Surgery Performed? Full Pre-Op Screening: Complete blood panels, abdominal ultrasound, endoscopy, and consultations with internal medicine specialists ensure total safety before surgery. Minimally Invasive (Keyhole) Approach: The procedure is performed laparoscopically through a few tiny incisions in the abdomen, using precision cameras and instruments. Safety Verification: The surgery typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes. Before concluding, the surgeon performs specialized tests to verify that all connections are secure. Recovery and Dietary Progression Because the surgery is performed through keyhole access, pain is minimal and recovery is straightforward. Hospital Stay: You will be encouraged to walk within a few hours after surgery to boost circulation. Most patients stay comfortably in the hospital for around 3 days before discharge. Phase-by-Phase Nutrition: You begin with clear liquids for the first two weeks, moving gradually to purees, soft foods, and eventually balanced solids. Because nutrient absorption changes, daily vitamin and mineral supplements will be guided by our nutrition team. Expected Weight Loss Weight loss is steady and substantial: First Month: An encouraging start, typically losing between 10 and 15 kg. First 6 Months: Patients commonly lose 50% to 60% of their excess weight. 1 Year: With balanced nutrition and light daily activity, patients generally lose between 70% and 80% of their excess weight permanently. Why Choose Gözde International Hospitals? Highly Skilled Surgeons: Expert surgical teams with thousands of successful metabolic and bariatric operations. All-Inclusive Service: Airport VIP transfers, luxury hotel accommodation, hospital care, and companion stay. Personal Support in Your Language: Native-speaking translators and patient coordinators assisting you throughout your hospital journey. Long-Term Dietary Follow-Up: Online nutritional support and follow-up after you return home to help you stay on track.

Metabolic Surgery

Metabolic surgery refers to specialized surgical procedures designed primarily to treat and control Type 2 diabetes and its associated health problems, such as high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, and fatty liver. The primary objective is not just weight reduction, but restoring your body's ability to effectively use its own natural insulin. At Gözde International Hospitals, our team of experienced surgeons, endocrinology specialists, and nutrition consultants work together to provide safe and lasting solutions for Type 2 diabetes. What Is Metabolic Surgery? In metabolic procedures (such as transit bipartition or ileal interposition), precise adjustments are made to the stomach and small intestine to reset the digestive system's hormonal communication. Food is guided to reach the lower section of the small intestine much faster. This stimulates the release of active gut hormones that signal the pancreas, quickly reactivating the body’s dormant or ineffective insulin. The surgery delivers two core changes: Insulin Reactivation: It breaks down cellular resistance to insulin, allowing the body to balance blood sugar naturally and effortlessly. Hormonal Balance: Adjusting digestive hormone pathways suppresses intense hunger and helps stabilize blood sugar swings throughout the day. Health Benefits The true value of metabolic surgery lies in halting the long-term systemic damage caused by uncontrolled blood sugar: Blood Sugar Normalization: Blood glucose levels begin balancing within days of surgery, enabling most patients to completely stop taking daily insulin injections and diabetes medications. Organ Protection: Dramatically lowers the risk of chronic diabetes-related damage to the eyes, kidneys, and peripheral nerves. Heart and Blood Pressure: Reduces strain on blood vessels, balances blood pressure, and significantly reduces cardiovascular risks. Liver Recovery: Reduces accumulated fat within the liver, helping restore normal organ function. Healthy Weight Balance: Helps shed excess fat reserves, restoring daytime vitality and overall physical energy. Who Is Suitable for Metabolic Surgery? Individuals diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar cannot be properly managed despite medications or insulin, Patients who still have active insulin production in their pancreas (confirmed via pre-op testing), Individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher struggling with metabolic issues, Those looking to protect their vital organs before diabetic complications develop, Candidates dedicated to following simple post-surgery dietary and lifestyle guidance. Note: This surgery is not suitable for Type 1 diabetes, where the pancreas cannot produce insulin. An essential pancreatic reserve test (C-peptide) is always performed prior to surgery. How Is the Surgery Performed? Comprehensive Metabolic Check-Up: Before the operation, patients undergo thorough evaluations, including blood sugar profiles, pancreatic reserve tests, liver and kidney checks, and cardiological screenings. Minimally Invasive (Keyhole) Technique: Done laparoscopically through tiny keyhole openings on the abdomen with high-definition optical systems, avoiding large open incisions. Duration and Safety Checks: The procedure usually takes between 90 and 120 minutes. All digestive connections are tested intraoperatively for complete seal and safety. Recovery and Dietary Progression Because the surgery uses keyhole techniques, recovery is gentle and patients regain their strength quickly. In-Hospital Monitoring: Patients are up and walking within hours after surgery. During your 3 to 4 days in the hospital, our medical team closely monitors your rapidly improving blood sugar levels. Gentle Dietary Phases: You begin with liquids and soft purees to allow the digestive tract to rest, gradually moving to wholesome solid meals. Our nutrition team provides clear, easy guidelines for each phase. Why Choose Gözde International Hospitals? Experienced Metabolic Surgeons: Specialized surgical teams with outstanding success rates in diabetes and metabolic operations. Comprehensive Care Packages: Airport VIP transfers, luxury hotel accommodation, companion stay, and all hospital diagnostics included. Dedicated Multilingual Assistance: Personal patient coordinators and interpreters accompanying you through every appointment and consultation. Remote Follow-Up Support: Continuous virtual check-ins with our medical and nutrition teams to monitor your blood sugar and lifestyle once you return home.

Robotic Gastric Sleeve

Robotic gastric sleeve surgery combines traditional minimally invasive weight-loss surgery with advanced robotic surgical technology, offering millimeter precision, enhanced safety, and greater patient comfort. At Gözde International Hospitals, our skilled bariatric surgeons use high-precision robotic systems to deliver safe, effective stomach reduction with faster and smoother recovery times. What Is Robotic Gastric Sleeve Surgery? During this procedure, the surgeon controls specialized robotic arms with exceptional precision from an ergonomic console. Around 75% to 80% of the stomach is separated and removed through tiny incisions, leaving a small, sleeve-shaped stomach. The robotic platform provides a magnified, 3D high-definition view of the operative field, giving the surgeon complete visual clarity around surrounding vessels and tissues. The robotic instruments rotate and move beyond the natural range of human hands without any tremor, ensuring the utmost procedural accuracy. The surgery promotes weight loss through two main mechanisms: Portion Control: The smaller stomach capacity allows you to feel satisfied with modest meal portions. Reduced Hunger: Removing the part of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone (ghrelin) significantly decreases appetite and daily cravings. Advantages of the Robotic Approach Compared to standard laparoscopy, robotic assistance offers distinct benefits for surgical safety and recovery: Exceptional Precision: Tremor-free robotic instruments ensure minimal disturbance to surrounding tissues, nerves, and blood vessels. Less Discomfort & Faster Recovery: Because tissue trauma is reduced, postoperative soreness is minimal, allowing patients to mobilize quickly. High-Definition 3D Vision: The surgeon operates with enhanced depth perception and sharp visual detail at every moment. Lasting Health Benefits: In addition to weight loss, patients see significant improvements in conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and fatty liver. Who Is Suitable for Robotic Gastric Sleeve? Individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, Individuals with a BMI between 35 and 39.9 who experience weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or joint strain, Patients with central abdominal fat who require higher surgical accuracy, Individuals who have had previous abdominal procedures where scar tissue may be present, Candidates ready to commit to healthy nutrition and active lifestyle choices after surgery. Final eligibility is determined following comprehensive clinical check-ups and diagnostic tests at our hospital. How Is the Surgery Performed? Pre-Operative Health Check: Complete laboratory blood tests, abdominal ultrasound, endoscopy, and multidisciplinary consultations ensure complete readiness. Robotic Keyhole Technique: Performed through several tiny openings on the abdomen using robotic instruments and a high-definition 3D camera, avoiding large incisions. Duration & Safety Checks: The operation generally takes between 45 and 60 minutes. The newly formed staple line is tested for complete seal directly in the operating room. Recovery and Dietary Progression Thanks to the gentle, tissue-friendly nature of robotic surgery, the recovery journey is comfortable and straightforward. In-Hospital Care: Patients are up and walking just a few hours after surgery to boost blood flow. You stay in the hospital for 2 to 3 days under regular medical supervision. Gradual Diet Stages: You begin with clear liquids for the first two weeks, moving progressively to smooth purees, soft foods, and wholesome solid meals guided by our nutrition team. Expected Weight Loss Weight reduction progresses at a steady, reliable pace: Month 1: An initial steady loss of approximately 8 to 12 kg. Month 6: Most patients shed around 50% of their excess weight. 1 Year: With balanced meals and light physical activity, patients typically lose 65% to 75% of their excess weight permanently. Why Choose Gözde International Hospitals? Robotic Surgical Expertise: Specialized bariatric surgeons trained in modern robotic operating platforms. All-Inclusive Service: Airport VIP transfers, premium hotel accommodation, companion stay, and thorough medical care.

Robotic Gastric Bypass

Robotic gastric bypass combines the proven benefits of traditional bypass surgery—reducing stomach size and rebalancing calorie absorption—with the precision and safety of advanced robotic technology. This approach provides surgeons with enhanced control, especially during the delicate phases of creating connections between the stomach and intestine. At Gözde International Hospitals, our experienced bariatric surgical teams utilize modern robotic platforms to ensure maximum procedural safety, minimal discomfort, and a smooth recovery for our international patients. What Is Robotic Gastric Bypass Surgery? During this procedure, the surgeon operates from an ergonomic console, controlling high-precision robotic arms. A small pouch is created at the top of the stomach and connected directly to a section of the small intestine. The robotic platform displays the surgical site in magnified, high-definition 3D with complete depth perception. The instruments replicate the surgeon’s hand movements without any tremor and rotate beyond the limits of human wrists, ensuring meticulous craftsmanship when joining the digestive tract. The surgery supports weight loss in two primary ways: Feeling Full with Smaller Portions: The newly created small stomach pouch fills quickly, allowing you to feel satisfied with modest amounts of food. Balanced Nutrient Absorption: Because food bypasses part of the stomach and intestine, your body naturally absorbs fewer calories and sugars from meals. Advantages of the Robotic Approach Because gastric bypass involves delicate connections (anastomoses) between organs, robotic technology offers substantial benefits for safety and recovery: Superior Suturing Accuracy: Tremor-free robotic instruments allow for exceptionally secure and gentle suturing between the stomach and small intestine. Less Discomfort & Faster Mobility: Reduced tissue stretching and small incisions result in minimal postoperative soreness, allowing you to get up and walk quickly. Clear 3D Vision: The high-definition 3D camera allows surgeons to navigate around sensitive blood vessels and nerves with exceptional visual clarity. Metabolic Recovery: In addition to steady weight loss, patients experience rapid improvements in conditions like type 2 diabetes, chronic acid reflux, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. Who Is Suitable for Robotic Gastric Bypass? Individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, Individuals with a BMI between 35 and 39.9 who have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or severe acid reflux, Patients with complex abdominal anatomy or previous surgeries requiring high surgical precision, Patients who previously underwent a gastric sleeve and now require revision surgery due to weight regain or severe reflux, Candidates prepared to follow structured nutrition phases and take recommended daily vitamin supplements. Final eligibility is determined following a thorough medical evaluation and diagnostic screening at our hospital. How Is the Surgery Performed? Comprehensive Pre-Op Evaluation: Prior to the procedure, patients undergo complete blood panels, abdominal ultrasound, endoscopy, and multidisciplinary consultations to ensure total safety. Minimally Invasive Robotic Technique: Performed through small keyhole incisions on the abdomen using robotic arms and a 3D camera, completely avoiding large open cuts. Duration & Safety Testing: The surgery typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes. Before concluding, all connections are carefully tested for complete seal directly in the operating room. Recovery and Dietary Progression Thanks to the tissue-friendly nature of robotic assistance, recovery is gentle and straightforward. In-Hospital Care: You will be encouraged to get up and walk just a few hours after surgery to support blood circulation. Most patients stay comfortably in the hospital for around 3 days before discharge. Phase-by-Phase Nutrition: You begin with clear liquids for the first two weeks, transitioning to smooth purees, soft foods, and eventually balanced solids. Our clinical dietitians will provide a personalized plan, including necessary daily vitamin and mineral supplements. Expected Weight Loss Weight reduction is steady and highly encouraging: First Month: An inspiring start, with typical weight loss ranging between 10 and 15 kg.

It's been two weeks since Dr Deniz... 

It's been two weeks since Dr Deniz operated on me and gave me a gastric sleeve. I have lost 5kg (11lb). I feel perfectly fine, everything is healing well.

the hospital was great. Loads of space, super friendly nurses and staff. Burcin was my medical coordinator and she was absolutely brilliant, she organised everything for me and provided me a lot of reassurance.

Victor was waiting at the hospital for me when I arrived, and he helped me navigate for all my tests and translated everything for me, he was brilliant. Absolutely wonderful gent.

If I had to go back and consider doing this again, I would 100000% do it. I was terrified, but actually I was in really good hands.

Thank you Dr Deniz, Victor, Burcin, all the nurses on floor 4, the dietician and everyone. It will really change my life for the better.

Amazing experience from start to finish

I recently had my rhinoplasty in Izmir and I can honestly say the entire experience exceeded my expectations.


From the beginning, my coordinator Alp was fantastic — very patient, quick to respond, and always available to answer any questions. Communication was clear and consistent throughout, which really helped put me at ease.

When we landed, everything was well organised. We were contacted about our transfer straight away and only waited around 5–10 minutes before getting on a minibus. The process was smooth, with some people dropped at the hotel and others at the hospital.

I stayed for 5 days, and the hotel was perfect for recovery — clean, spacious, and in a great location with plenty of food options and supermarkets nearby. Room service was also reasonably priced, which was really convenient.

The hospital itself was amazing — very modern and felt more like a hotel than a typical UK hospital. My surgeon was professional and reassuring, with open communication during my consultation, and checked on me the following day.

The nurses were extremely attentive, checking on me regularly (even during the night), and although there was a slight language barrier at times, the level of care was excellent.

One of my biggest concerns beforehand was feeling unsupported after surgery, but that wasn’t the case at all. Communication via WhatsApp remained consistent, and I was always kept informed about timings and next steps.

All medication was provided before discharge (included in the price), along with clear aftercare instructions and a fit-to-fly note.

Since returning home, my recovery has gone really smoothly with no issues. Whenever I’ve had questions, Alp has continued to respond quickly, which has been very reassuring.

I was initially hesitant because the price seemed almost too good to be true, but I can honestly say the quality of care and service is outstanding.

I would highly recommend Gozde to anyone considering rhinoplasty — choosing my surgeon was the best decision I’ve ever made

Gastric Sleeve at Baypark Hospital

I travelled to Turkey for my gastric sleeve surgery and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very first contact, everything was organised, clear, and reassuring. The coordinator Alp kept in touch throughout and answered all my questions, which really helped put me at ease before travelling.
The hospital was clean and professional, and the medical team were outstanding. The surgeon was knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to explain the procedure and aftercare clearly. I felt safe and well cared for at all times. The nurses were kind, attentive, and supportive, especially during recovery.
The pre-operative tests and assessments were very thorough, which gave me complete confidence that my safety and health were the top priority.
The aftercare advice and follow-up support have also been excellent.
I’m so glad I chose to have my gastric sleeve done in Turkey and would highly recommend this experience to anyone considering weight loss surgery. Thank you to the whole team for changing my life.

Can't recommend this Hospital enough.

Can't recommend this Hospital enough. They've really helped me over the years. My coordinator Alp has been in contact with me since my journey began 3 years ago until this day we still speak. He started helping me with my sleeve 3 years ago right upto my thigh lift, arm lift and breast Augmentation in January this year. Alp has been there with me supporting my whole journey. He's provided me with information when ever I've asked and has always reassured me when I haven't felt so great. He really is so helpful and now feels like a true friend to me. My surgeons Dr Mehmet Deniz (for Sleeve) and Dr Ahmet Aşçıoğlu (for cosmetics) were fantastic and I'd highly recommend them if anyone is thinking about any of these surgeries. My surgeons are also so helpful and I"m able to contact them even now if I have any questions and they always respond. This hospital has changed my life and I will always be extremely grateful for their help and for the way they looked after me. I also have to say that Viktor and Ceren Karahan the coordinators at the hospital are so friendly and helpful and are good fun.
Highly recommend contacting Alp for help if you're thinking of any surgery. He's brilliant

I had gastric sleeve at their Izmir premium hospital Ozel Saglik

I had gastric sleeve at their Izmir premium hospital Ozel Saglik. I had done quite a few researches about the procedure in Turkey. In March, I found out that the Izmir hospital has a tour in UK. My first options where different hospitals, cheaper, still good options, but I said it wouldn't do any harm to meet a bariatric surgeon in person. The lovely coordinator, Afaf, made an appointment and I met Mr. Arslan, in London. Well, he made me feel like we are old friends, I explained him my other problems and he made me trust himself. It was game over. I've forgot about the other hospitals and he made me go to Izmir. And I don't regret it. The procedure went well, Mr. Arslan even sorted out my umbilical hernia. He is a fantastic surgeon and we still keep in touch. He speaks English, a very important thing. The hospital is well organised, everyone knows what has to do. Afaf, my coordinator, what can I say, she even arranged another consultation for me while there, helped me even after coming back. Fitnat, the transfer coordinator, good as gold. Cahide, what a lovely girl! Viktor, our hospital host, what a lovely guy! Many thanks to the nurses, especially Ella, for the night when my blood pressure went very high. And not for the last, many thanks to the anesthetist. What a lovely lady! I didn't have a chance to thank you her and I regret it. We all pay more attention to the surgeon and we forget how important the anesthetist is, keeping us well and alive during surgery and she made me feel I am in very good hands. Maybe somebody can thank her on my behalf. So, in conclusion, I don't know about other hospitals in Turkey, but this one is a very well organised and NHS would have what to learn from them, regarding efficiency. Their hotel, again, very nice apartments and rooms, lovely staff, fantastic breakfast buffet. Some small suggestions. It will be nice if the drivers wouldn't smoke in the transfer buses. On the arrival, it was a very strong smell of smoking in the transfer van, I nearly feel sick. The night shift nurses should be advised to keep the noise a bit down. They are lovely, but some of them make during the night the same noise level as daytime. The hospital should pay some English courses for them. It will be very helpful,for them and patients, to avoid Google translate. The hospital is lovely, very clean, big, nice rooms, but it will need some small repairs, especially the floor near lifts. The coordinators should be allowed to spend more time with the patients, if needed, after booking and pay the deposit, because some small problems still can appear. Not only my opinion, other patients had the same problem. But, in all, a fantastic experience, I don't regret going there and I think the difference in price is justified.

If i had one single complaint it would be that the food wasnt to my taste but i am very very fussy so this could be a me problem!!

My gastric sleeve experience with Godze

After 2 and a half years of researching and deciding, I finally had my gastric sleeve surgery at Ozel Sağlık hospital on 22nd March 2025.
The process from the beginning was very simple. In my first enquiry I was assigned Tenno as my coordinator. He was attentive and answered every question I had fully. He was patient and didn’t push me to book. From my first communication with him to me actually putting my deposit down 6+ months passed because I wanted to make sure I was making the correct decisions for me.
After booking he again kept me fully informed and answered all of my questions. I first flew to Turkey in January 2025 I was amazed by the depth and amount of pre op tests that were performed on me. The level of care from the nursing team was exemplary!
Unfortunately in January after the endoscopy, a big ulcer and hernia was found in my stomach meaning the surgery would not be performed as it was not safe to do so. I was understandably upset, however Dr Arslan took the time to explain exactly why he couldn’t operate and what my next steps would be. Caomide, was my coordinator at the hospital and she comforted me and assisted me in getting back to the hotel. Nilsu (travel coordinator) and Tenno were again so helpful in getting me home, so I could start the medicine to get the ulcer healed.
When I returned home there was no pressure from Tenno to rebook, he let me do this in my own time. However after seeing the care at Godze, I was eager to get back and booked for 22nd March.
When I returned the excellent care continued, Caomide and Dr Arslan remembered me which was so nice. The nurses were so attentive with medicines. No problems with language barriers (I’m English and don’t know any Turkish apart from merhaba!) I had my fastric sleeve and hernia repair and honestly cannot believe how well I feel afterwards.
I travelled alone with no companion, and would do this again.
I am so happy with my experience and would recommend Godze based on this!
Thank you to Tenno, Nilsu, Caomide, Yaran, Nourman,the whole team at Ozel Sağlık and of course Dr Arslan. Cannot wait for my new life with my new baby stomach!

Excellent service from start to finish!
Yigit Altinay my contact was so helpful every step of the way. I paid £80 for my £380 flights as agreed. Everything was smooth. No extra costs. I was a little anxious asI  travelled alone but I knew that I could contact anyone and would have been supported. My surgery went well and everything was explained to me in depth by my Interpreter, she was so warm and friendly. I was under Dr Ergin and he was excellent. Went over and above to help me with some complicated adhesions from other surgery’s. My medication package given to me was huge and spare dressings. Thank you everyone for your support.

I recently had my gastric sleeve surgery in Izmir at gozde international hospital and the care I received was absolutely exceptional from start to finish.

My surgeon, Dr. Mehmet Deniz, was fantastic — professional, skilled, and reassuring throughout the entire process. My coordinator, Devrim, was incredible at helping me plan my journey and clearly explained what to expect at every stage of the surgery and was on call 24/7 answering any questions or help I needed. Victoria, my interpreter, was also amazing — kind, patient, and made sure I understood everything perfectly.

The whole team at Gözde Hospital was lovely and looked after me with such care and attention. I felt completely supported and safe during my stay.

I would highly recommend Gözde Hospital and their amazing staff to anyone considering this surgery. Thank you to the entire team for making my experience so positive!

Highly recommended

I first contacted Devrim through WhatsApp. He walked me through everything. Quick in responding to messages no matter what time it was. Very helpful and easy to follow instructions when it came to payments and booking my plane ticket. When I arrived at Izmir airport, I was met by my transfer who took me straight to the Hospital. All necessary checks were done and I had my procedure the following day. My surgeon was very attentive to detail and answered all my questions with ease. Devrim kept in touch checking how I was. My procedure went well and I am home recovering very well. While at home, Devrim kept checking on how my recovery was. I would recommend Gozde International Hospitals. A hospital well equipped I felt safe and at home. Everyone was very friendly and I was looked after well.

BEST EXPERIENCE AT GODZE INTERNATIONAL HOSPITALS

I had a Rhinoplasty at Ozel Saglik Hospital this September. Everything from start to finish was clear and professional. To start, my operational coordinator Tenno set up a E-consultation where I had the opportunity to ask any questions I had in mind and everything was answered clearly. He organised my accommodation, flight and hospital stay and even checked in on me after the surgery to make sure I was doing well. The Doctor who performed my surgery was Dr Serkan Gokpinar. He is a really talented and great Dr to say the least. The swelling has not resided yet and I am already to happy with my results. His first priority is health and safety which is so reassuring. Not to mention the nurses, they were great, always checking on me and made me feel very comfortable that I wouldn’t have mind to spend the rest of my trip in my hospital room. Everything was clean, the food and especially the soup was delicious. All in all I had the best experience an international patient could ask for. The Interpreter, transport, Accommodation, Food, Medication.. I can’t communicate how satisfied and pleasant my trip to Izmir was. More than anyone could ask for. As far as recovery, I came out of the surgery and up until today 8 days post OP, I had zero bruising, very minimal swelling (mostly around the nose) and zero pain. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother recovery. Everything was better than I could have asked for. Thank you so much Tenno, Dr Serkan, the nurses, and everyone that made my journey feel so comfortable and I definitely recommend for anyone debating or unsure to go ahead with it!

I can’t thank everyone at Gozde hospitals enough. Everything from booking my surgery until now (5 weeks post op) I have had brilliant care. I wish I could thank everyone individually. My care coordinator Devrim has answered any questions I’ve had with such a quick and accurate response. My transfer coordinator Fitnat for helping me with my travel. And lastly my amazing surgeon Dr Ahmet Aşçioğlu who has made me the happiest with my amazing results and his consult Berfin who was amazing while I was in the hospital. Thank you to all of the friendly nurses that looked after me during my stay you made my experience pain free and comfortable since the moment I arrived at the hospital. Even the man who did the transfer was so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone and would 100% go back if I wanted any further treatment. Thank you all again!!!

I had gastric sleeve surgery here in March 2024.
My co-ordinator Atakan was fantastic and i have already recommended Atakan to others, he was great with contacting me with all the details of the packages that the hospital offered, any questions I had he was helpful to answer and put my mind at rest, even after surgery when I returned to England he has been happy to still answer questions for me.
While at the hospital I felt my treatment was better than some I have been to in the UK, pre-op tests were very thorough, I felt safe with the surgical team, my surgeon Dr Yeldan was fantastic so happy i had him to do my operation. Most nurses spoke good English and were more than happy to help me and my companion, my private room had everything I needed, I was sent home with medication and protein shakes.

Genuinely Life Changing!

I had Gastric Sleeve Surgery at Gozde Izmir in January 2025 and my experience was brilliant.
My co-ordinator, Mert, was so attentive and helped me handle every part of my booking.
The team at the hospital were nothing short of phenomenal. They never let me down - everything they promised was delivered. I felt really well informed and cared for throughout my stay. The pre-op team, the surgeons Dr Arslan and Dr Kemiskis and the nursing staff were all excellent. Their english was good enough to communicate anything I needed.
The hospital was clean and spacious with decent facilities for my companion and there is a real camaraderie on the ward with your fellow patients.
I had a real wobble because I realised AFTER my op that I had booked by flight a day early so had one day less recovery time and I was panicking I wouldn't get discharged in time, but the team were amazing at calming my nerves.
I have had no issues at all post-op, my incisions have healed beautifully and I have lost 7 stone in 7 months. I can't ask for more really!

An amazing experience with Dr Serkan Gokpinar and best medical coordinator Yunus

I loved the care and support received before,during and after my rhinoplasty surgery. My coordinator Yunus Emre Ekici is an angel I couldn’t have been at ease without his continuous support and kindness. My surgeon Dr Serkan Gokpinar is LOVELY and has done an amazing job with my nose without needing much explanation. My nose healed without issues and looks so natural people hardly realised the work I did. 2 months later I LOVE my beautiful cute nose!! Thank you guys for all your help and support throughout the process of my first ever experience having cosmetic surgery.

I had an excellent experience with the staff at Gözde International Hospitals, especially with Piril. From the very beginning, everything was well organized and professionally coordinated. The entire process went smoothly, and I always felt supported and informed.

My surgery was very successful, and I am extremely satisfied with the care I received. The medical team, nurses, and support staff were all outstanding, kind, and attentive throughout my stay.

I would like to give special thanks to Piril for her professionalism, dedication, and assistance. She ensured that everything was properly coordinated and made the whole experience stress-free.

I highly recommend Gözde International Hospitals to anyone seeking high-quality medical care. Thank you to the entire team for the excellent service and support.

Breast Augumentation and uplift

Initially I was abit wary about booking something so huge without even a phone call just whatsapp messages. But each time I spoke to Piril she was always very understanding, informative and helpful. Couldn't fault the communication she was so helpful it was very reassuring.
My procedure was organised extremely smoothly, everything was as Piril had said, I was taken straight from the airport to the hospital, and the hospital room I had in Izmir was huge, very comfortable and modern, all the staff at the hospital were very caring and accomodating. My surgeon was Dr Ahmet and he was great too he fully understood my desired outcome and again answered any and all my questions I had. I was also given an interpretor who was with me for all the important parts (although I found most of the staff spoke very good English) my procedure went very well and I was very happy with my results, I stayed a few nights in hospital and then got transfered to a lovely apartment. I was checked by the doctor before I left and was pumped full of antibiotics the whole time to prevent any infections. The apartments are really lovely too and all transfers to and from the hospital and airport/apartment where all organised smoothly.

I couldn't fault this procedure and process, I was so nervous and skeptical but im so pleased I went through with it. I would highly recommend this hospital and its staff. After my op I was able to speak with the surgeon after my procedure as i was given his telephone number i had a few questions when I got home to the UK and Dr Ahmet responded promptly so that felt reassuring that I wasnt just on my own now ive returned home.

64kg down in just 10 months!!

Im Emma. I'm a 42 year old woman from Manchester England. My weight has fluctuated up and down for years, I'd get so far, and then life would throw a curve ball and I'd slip a little, end up back at square one, and the another year to start trying again. Before I knew it 20 years had passed in the blink of an eye, and I started to think less about looking good and more about giving my life some longevity. Lowering my risk of illnesses, ailments and certain cancers what being overweight can bring became more important than fitting in a size small.

I did my research and chose gozde, Dr Zafer had vast experience and I decided to choose him, and honestly? It's. changed my life.

I was 124kg on the day I arrived in Turkey, embarrassed, mortified, but determined to change it, today, just 10 months later, I now weigh 69kg, in UK weight that's 10st 12lb I fluctuate between 64 and 69 depending what time of the month it is, and by removing my stomach with the sleeve, I removed 99% of my weaknesses.

I was scared that hunger would be a problem, but because you have your stomach taken there is very little gherlin hormone produced so hunger isn't a problem. I was scared my skin would be loose and awful, and yes some of the skin, especially my arms, I don't like, but, the overall feeling of wearing what I want, fitting in the bath properly, fitting in my friends clothes, walking without back pin, feeling feminine and sexy, make it all the worth while. Skin isn't a problem, I changed my life, halved my body weight, now I will get rid of the skin, if you're unhappy in your body anyway believe me when I say you will me less unhappy slim amd able.

I still want to make changes, but I'm 10 months in, 10st lighter, and I'm living not existing. My advice would be just do it, piril guided me through my experience and the hospital was clean, high standard, friendly, pleasant, professional and they did every test going before I had surgery to make sure it was safe.

Verdict: life changing. Advice. Go and get your life back. One step at a time is better than staying in the same place x

Take your supplements, follow advice and you will be fine, I'm just starting to be able to eat small meals, and the control, discipline and happiness this has given me has made that wait more than worth it. Go get your life back
