Martina Mohan's Story

Comments: I have been delaying having weight loss surgery for many years, so I finally booked it a few weeks ago.

The Memorial Hospital in Istanbul is amazing and all the staff and team are amazing. The doctor Murat was brilliant, I was made to feel comfortable and relaxed at all times. The aftercare was also brilliant, I had the Lap Gastric Band Surgery, all the team took good care of me and I was kept pain free with plenty of pain relief. I stayed 2 nights at the hospital and then discharged back to the most beautiful hotel The Elysium Hotel, the transition was simple and smooth, all the team stayed in contact and helped me with any information I needed to know. Yes, the language barrier can be slightly awkward at times but not enough to cause any problems. Each person made a great effort in trying to translate. I highly recommend this team.

My husband was with me all the way and he was also taking good care of, plenty of food was provided for him and he was made to feel comfortable. While I was sleeping he has explained everything that was going on.
