We were very pleased with the whole team and the hospital. It is a friendly and wonderful team, I recommend it to everyone.
I was very pleased with everything. I came without a companion, but they never looked for my family. Thank you very much for everything. I recommend it to everyone.
Super happy with my doctor of choice. Handled everything very well and especially the dietist helps throughout the journey. I’ve lost 10kg’s in 14 days. Started with 90kg, am now at 80 kg.
Everything went very well! I really wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ergenc and his team.I had surgery in 2020 and was able to lose approximately 40 kilos.
A year ago, after three years of deliberation, I decided to have the operation with Dr. Tufan Ergenç decided. Today, a year later, I can say it was the best decision of my life. I'm doing great and Dr.'s team is doing great. Tufan Ergenc is fantastic! You have always supported me this year and have always been available! Thank you very much! Everything is great! I'm glad I did this surgery! I would never recommend an operation, BUT IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE OPERATION, THEN DEFINITELY GO TO DR. ERGENÇ.I would like to describe my story and my success in more detail because I would have liked to have read something like this before the operation: I flew to Izmir alone because I always like to do everything alone. Looking back, that was a bad idea, I wouldn't do it again today and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The days after the operation were horror for me. I didn't have any classic surgical pain like after a cesarean section or something like that. But I had so much pressure in my stomach (because you get bloated for the operation, in layman's terms 🙈). Because of this pressure, I felt like I couldn't breathe. Every breath was heavy, every sip of water felt like I was suffocating. I was lying there in Izmir in a top hospital with excellent care and felt terrible. Everyone was very nice, but I was just sad about my situation. I felt like a failure who couldn't even drink water.Of course I was feeling better physically by the time I left, but mentally I was a heap of misery. When I got home, I could hardly drink for another two days. On Sunday (5 days after the operation) I was able to drink 2 dl of water for the first time. From then on I felt a little better every day. I was still struggling with my thoughts and emotions, which I suddenly could no longer regulate with food. Physically I felt better every day. Mentally too, but slower. As soon as swimming was allowed, I went to the indoor pool 4-5 times a week for 20 minutes. That was my salvation! Swimming helped me regulate my thoughts and emotions. I was able to relax and switch off. Without having to force myself, after 8 weeks I got up every morning at 5:30, brushed my teeth and went swimming (about 5 times a week and only 30 minutes each time) without thinking. Me, who has been a sports person for as long as I can remember.As a joke and because swimming was somehow no longer such a challenge, I registered for a short-distance triathlon on January 5, 2024. From then on I trained for triathlon and this July I completed my first triathlon! I'm super happy. I still have moments where I would like to eat my feelings away, but I'm working on that!I don't want to show how great I did everything. But thanks to this operation, I had to and was able to take care of myself and my psyche over the last year.I could only eat a little anyway. So I didn't have to fight against hunger like with all the stupid diets. I just had to make sure I was eating healthy. I had time to take care of myself, without setbacks, without feeling like I had failed again.You often hear: “The operation doesn’t involve operating on the head.”Yes, that's true, but I finally had time to take care of my head. To learn to love myself again, to accept myself again. I had time to educate my inner voice and am not constantly in this self-destructive hamster wheel - diet, exercise, failure, self-hatred, pick yourself up, diet, exercise...I admire every person who can do it alone! Unfortunately, I couldn't do it all alone. But I did extremely well. I kept the promise I made to myself before the operation.“If I do the operation, I’ll do it right! I will change my lifestyle. No more excuses! No more diets! Eat healthy and balanced, exercise! Take care of my psyche!”Thanks!
Thank you so much to Dr Tufan Ergenc and his amazing team for the great care and surgery they preformed on my sister, cannot recommend them enough. I witnessed everything with my own eyes, I was beyond amazed. The surgery had been so successfully done which went beyond our expectations. Not only the surgery but also the after care was done with so much care and support. My sister’s recovery process was only 3 days, everything they promised was completed by the end.I would also like to thank Tuna, Mine and Çığıl for the lovely support given throughout the whole procedure, before and after.Well done to such an excellent team❤️.
I did my operation 3 weeks ago with dr. Tufan Ergenç and he was a real professional. I'm very happy with my treatment in the hospital but also even after I return home. Everything was perfect from the moment I arrived up until the medical procedures and my return back home. The staff of the doctor were amazing and did everything possible for me to have the easiest recovery possible. I will always be thankful to the doctor and his staff for the incredible treatment.
I have had an amazing experience with Dr Tufan, all of the nurses, dieticians, & staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, guiding me and my companion every step of the way. The first couple of days were difficult but with their help and encouragement I feel very excited for the future. Thank you so much I am very grateful to all of you & look forward to sharing my journey🙏🏽
I took a one recommendation from a family member and another from an friend and researched heavily. From my comparison my heart was guided towards Dr Tufan (the friend recommendation). It was a positive experience and the Dr is very talented and meticulous as he was able to work around my large firbroids. All his staff are friendly, supportive and kind. They guide and encourage you throughout the journey. All questions are answered with speed. Even outside work hours they are ready to help you. The nurses are all amazing - 24hr support.The only fault I have was that my stay maybe should have been one day extra and that there is a translator present with every nurse as sometimes communication was awkward during the IV checkups. Other than this the experience has improved my mental well-being.
