I
had to lose weight, 100% Experience….
Hi, My name is
Ingrid Stewart and I’m here in Turkey, in Optimed Hospital.
I just had
Sleeve Surgery. Everything went great. The reason why I am in Turkey, originally,
I am from the United States, my health insurance does not pay for Sleeve
Surgery at all. I’m overweight and I’m 58 years old. So, I need to lose weight.

Isa Kaman (Bariatric Surgeon)
So, I was
thinking about what I could do, and I was researching online and then I found
out about surgeries in Turkey.
I got Health-Tourism.com website, and right away
I got a response from a hospital named Optimed, from a very nice guy, he
started talking to me on right away. I had like 1000 questions for him. And he
just answered everything right away.
Then, I just felt comfortable going there. So, after made up my mind,
and I wanna use that hospital, you know I bought my plane ticket, made an
appointment. They just asked a small pre-payment, I said yeah, that’s fine.
Originally, was
scheduled for September. But then I had, unfortunately, something happened at
home, and I rescheduled for October. So, October came, I had flight to Turkey
and the nice gentleman (Burak) came and picked me up from the airport. They
were there before me, so we drove to the hospital, brought me to hospital room
right away. Everybody was taking care of me. You know, they took my blood
pressure, my blood, x-ray of my lungs, everything; My room was ready %100 clean
and everything. The doctor came and I met the doctor, we talked about what’s
going to happen with the surgery, showed me a lot of pictures and they made
sure, because I don’t speak any Turkish, only German and English, they made
sure that I understood everything. Then at least one or two persons were there
who could translate if needed.

Testimonial from Ingrid
So then, right
the next day, I had surgery in the morning. And of course I don’t know what
happened during the surgery I was sleeping J But when I woke up, I mean of course I had pain, you
know, everybody has pain after surgery. But I mean, look it’s 5 days after my
surgery and I had something else done yesterday.
The doctor said
‘’She doesn’t look like she had a surgery.’’ And I mean everything, the staff
at the hospital, there’s one special nurse, her name is Fatma, she’s one of my
best friends now. So, they’re so attentive, they work with their hearts, you
can tell. I mean all day long they’re taking care of you. I mean if you need
anything. I mean I was hot, I was brought a fan. They were taking care of me
like ‘’Are you not cold?’’ No. I’m originally from Germany so I’m cold blooded.
I mean, it was a
%100 experience. So I already scheduled my next surgeries to come definitely
here, not even researching for any other hospital.
