Arpanu Medical Reviews

Ich habe mich im Oktober, für die Schlauchmagen Op bei Dr. Ceyhun Aydogan, entschieden. Den Doktor selbst, habe ich leider nur zwei mal kurz getroffen aber er machte einen sehr sympathischen und seriösen Eindruck. Die Op an sich, verlief sehr gut und es gab keine Komplikationen. Die ersten Tage danach, ging es mir leider nicht so gut und ich hatte etwas Schwierigkeiten mit dem Kreislauf, wurde von Kopfschmerzen und anschließend einer Grippe, aus der Bahn geworfen. Einige Wochen danach, wurde alles immer besser. Ich hatte selten Probleme bzw. Schmerzen beim Essen und vertrage, heute knapp 3 Monate nach der Op, soweit alle Nahrungsmittel. Ich verspüre auch bis heute, so gut wie keinen Hunger und keinen Appetit. Kleine Portionen machen mich sofort satt. Mein Startgewicht lag bei 104 Kilo (1,68m groß) und ich habe bis jetzt 18 Kilo abgenommen, es geht bei mir etwas langsamer runter aber genau so, hatte ich mir das auch gewünscht. Die Narben verblassen und der Magen macht keine Probleme. Heute bin ich froh, diesen Schritt gegangen zu sein und die gesamte Organisation der Op, hat sehr gut und einfach geklappt. Ich wurde von Alexey sehr gut beraten und anschließend von Nisa (vor Ort) gut betreut. Die Ernährungsberaterin Selvi und Post-Operative Beraterin Bahar, haben mich nach der Op, per WhatsApp kontaktiert und sich gut um meine weiteren Anliegen und die Ernährungsberatung, gekümmert. Insgesamt war ich sehr zufrieden und möchte eine klare Empfehlung und ein großes Dankeschön aussprechen:)

I had a gastric sleeve surgery at Arpanu medical with Dr Ceyhun Aydogan. It was a very difficult experience for me because of personal and family problems that I faced before and during the experience but the staff working with Dr Aydogan and the staff at the hospital were all amazing and very supportive. I did a lot of research before I decided to have my surgery with Dr Aydogan. I first got in touch with his clinic mid July 2023 and a month after that and after a lot of research I made my decision to have the surgery with them. My surgery was planned for October 23 but due to a family emergency only a day before my travel I had to postpone it to an indefinite period. They were very understanding and supportive. After 2 weeks I contacted them again and asked if I could have the surgery in a week’s time. Their schedule was quite full but they managed to fit me in and I was able to travel to Istanbul and have the surgery on Nov 15. During this whole process communication with the clinic was on the highest level. I had so many questions and they answered every single one of them in detail. The most important thing to remember is that every country has a different way of doing things and you should never assume that things are done the same way you are used to in your own country. Never assume anything. Enquire about everything and ask a lot of questions. They will answer in detail. I was not able to take a friend or family member with me and I was worried and scared because I was taking a huge step into the unknown with a support person by my side but everything went smoothly. The day I arrived in Istanbul I was picked up by a very helpful and polite driver. He advised me on shopping centres and restaurants close to the hotel. The hotel was really nice. The staff were very polite and helpful. Very early the next morning a driver picked me and another patient from the hotel and took is to the hospital where we had all our tests done. By 9am test results were ready and they gave me the clear to have the surgery. In the meantime there were 4 other patients having the surgery on that day and each one of us had a translator. My translator, Marcos was very polite. His English was excellent and he patiently translated all my questions and the answers. Even though I didn’t have a friend or a family member with me, Dr Aydogan, the hospital staff, Marcos and even the other translators made me feel at home and as if I had known them for years. The surgery went smoothly. No complications whatsoever. I stayed in hospital for 2 days altogether and even though I was in a bit of pain everyone was so nice that it made everything better. Just before going back to the hotel I had a visit by one of the dieticians who explained to me the diet stages I had to follow and informed me about the WhatsApp group for follow up. My recovery was very quick. I was able to go shopping and do tourist stuff the day after I left the hospital. The only problem with that though was the tempting smells of grilled corn and roasted chestnuts sold everywhere on the streets when I was stuck with consuming just clear broth. Since I’ve returned back home the team of dieticians have been diligently i. Touch and supportive every step of the way. Dieticians Doga and Selvi and Dr Mohammed have been always in touch advising me of my different post op diet stages and encouraging me with every step. Overall it was a very good experience. The only thing that probably needs to be better is having 24hr support during the hotel stay post op. There are nurses available at the hotel but they are only there during the day. I had an allergic reaction late at night and there was no one to advise me what to do. I had never had an allergic reaction in my life before and my whole body was itching and I had hives all over my body and my neck was starting to swell. Luckily I knew exactly what was happening because my son has had similar allergic reactions. I called the hotel receptionist and asked if there were any late night pharmacies. The receptionist organised a taxi driver to go bring me the antihistamine I wanted. If I hadn’t known what to do they were ready to call an ambulance. The next morning the nurses came to see me and contacted the doctor. And by the doctor’s advice game me an injection just before my flight to ensure my trip back home was without any complications and the allergy didn’t flare up again. I think it’s normal that things like this happen but to make the service better it would be ideal to have a support contact person who is available outside normal working hours.

Ich bin wirklich mehr als begeistert von Dr. AKIF und dem ganzen Team! Wurde gleich am 02. Januar zur Nasenkorrektur von ihm operiert! Mein größter Wunsch/ Bedenken war das, dass Ergebnis super natürlich aussehen soll... und trotz ziemlicher Schwellung bin ich mit dem Ergebnis mehr als Zufrieden. Ich danke für alles! Alles Gute weiterhin für Euch!

Dr Muhammed, Dietitian Selvi and Dietitian Doğa are the one perks I received from my gastric surgery. They have been followed me every steps after operation, answering all my queries and guide me with recipes every weeks. Cannot thank them enough for their work and support.

I would definitely recommend the surgeon he was amazing and the whole tea was beyond amazing looked after me I was so scared to do it but was reassured

Hi I'm Gavin I'm a 62 year old male from the UK. I started my Gastric Sleeve surgery journey on 23rd June 2023 when I enquired about the procedures offered by Dr Ceyhun Aydogan from his assistant Sule. The information was very comprehensive and by the 15th July I had booked my procedure. My wife Pam and I travelled to Istanbul on Sunday 24th September and I had my surgery on Monday 25th. The surgery was very comfortable with minimum pain, the staff were very supportive and informative of what was happening. I started my rehabilitation four hours after my return to my room with hourly walks which helped very much. During my two night stay at the clinic we were looked after very well, and Pam received three meals each day of high quality and was able to sleep over. I was discharged back to the Plaza Hotel on Wednesday 27th once everything was checked and satisfactory. Dietician Amy came to meet with us before we left to introduce us to the dietary programme that would start with the clear broth initially and at regular supervised intervals the diet would change. She explained that she, Selvi and Nora would be my dieticians for the next 12 months and introduced us to the WhatsApp support group. I also got my supply of high protein shakes and multivitamins and minerals for me to bring back to the UK Sadly I understand the need for bland broth but it was totally tasteless and in most cases just a bowl of hot water Yuk!!!! We continued to mobilise and I actually used the Spa gymnasium for the treadmill and swimming pool to enable me to improve on my recovery, Pam used the swimming pool daily much to her enjoyment. We spent some time out and about away from the hotel sightseeing which was important for both physical and mental health. We flew back to the UK on Sunday 1st October and everything was good. Since my arrival back in the UK my Dietician team has changed a little, it is Dr Muhammed - Post Operative Doctor and Selvi and Doga as dieticians. They are very supportive and we remain in contact frequently, daily to start with but as time has progressed this has become weekly maybe fornightly. I'll update them at intervals on what I'm eating sending them pictures and reporting on my progress, and as I progress they will update and amend my diet to the next level with lots of information on what I'm eating and why. I weigh in monthly and send them the results along with pictures of my body changes and my body measurements. The team have been brilliant, so very supportive and when I have had questions about things I don't understand they very promptly answer. If you are going to consider this surgery I would recommend this clinic and surgeon and the post-op team. Please please don't make this journey on your own you need a companion with you all the way...... I watched people alone who were scared and this is not necessary. The procedure fees cover your partner or companion you just need to fund the extra air fare. It has been a great move on my part. To date as at 01.01.24 I have lost 33.2kg (5 stone) in 14 weeks. Good Luck

Dietitian Doğa, Dr Muhammed, and Dietitian Selvi provide the best aftercare diet guidance! They were very responsive to my questions and ensured that I was well informed about the best dietary options through each stage of healing. Thanks to them, my healing journey is going smoothly. I highly recommend this great team of experts!

The staff really make the hospital, Dr Muhammed, nurses, specosl mention to dietician team particularly Mr Selvi. They follow up with regular outpatient care. Also I have messaged them on numerous occasions about reactions I had to various foods and they replied almost instantly with suggestions. They also follow up with blood tests taken by my own gp to see if I'm am lacking any nutrients etc.

Great, well-organized service! This is an amazing team of exceptional professionals. I had a great experience from the beginning to the end with Vip transfers, great hotel, world class clinic and the best surgeon Dr.Serhan Derin. Special thanks to Simge, John, Romena, Afag and Mohamed. You, guys are the best.

Me hice una manga gástrica, la clínica como el personal son excelentes, el médico muy profesional, se los recomiendo a ojos cerrados, además las nutricionistas Selvi y Doga, quienes te acompañan con las dietas, son muy amables y atentas a todas las consultas.

My life best decision with no regrets the diet team was so helpful so thankful to salvi she always there for me and every time I needed support she response so quick Thanku all

2 and half hours surgery instead of 6 hours in US, that was fabulous. And the job was well done. 👍🏾. Recommend the clinic to anyone who wants to get the same surgery done.

Merhaba, 21.12.2023 tarihin Göz üstü operasyonu oldum. Korktuğum gibi değildi çok güzel bir operasyon oldu. Herhan gibi acı ağrı olmadı. Gökhan bey tanıdıktan sonra tüm korkum gitti. Herşeyden çok memnun kaldım Mithat beyinde desteği ile herşey mükemmeldi. Ameliyat olmak isteyenler gönül rahatlığıyla tavsiye edebilirim.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem ganzen Ablauf und dem erzielten Ergebnis. Nun habe ich meine Traum-Nase. Organisatorisch war alles super passend, wie es mir versprochen wurde. Es wurde alles (Hotelaufenthalt, Operation, Klinikaufenthalt) durch meinen Ansprechpartner Alexey organisiert. Die Abholungen vom Flughafen und jedesmal vom Hotel wurden zeitlich perfekt gehalten. Der Klinikaufenthalt war sehr angenehm und ich habe mich sehr sicher beim Dr. Akif Yildirim gefühlt. Er hat meine Wünsche verstanden und diese auch bei der Operation angewendet. Da ich die türkische Sprache beherrschte, war die Kommunikation einwandfrei und ich konnte ohne zu zögern alles fragen. Dabei war auch ein Dolmetscher der zur Hilfe stand bei uns und hat noch weitere Informationen übermittelt. Meine Fragen wurden auch ausführlich und sicher vom Dr. Akif Yildirim und auch vom apranu Team beantwortet. Nach der Operation war der Dr. Yildirim wieder kurz bei mir. Und hat uns die erfolgreiche Operation bestätigt. Die Krankenschwestern waren auch immer da und haben in der ersten Nacht sehr geholfen. Ich fühlte mich sehr aufgehoben beim Arzt und auch in der Klinik. Ab dem zweiten Tag im Hotelaufenthalt kam es leider zu einer kleinen gesundheitlichen Komplikation mitten in der Nacht. Leider war von der Klinik niemand erreichbar. Von meiner Seite aus konnte ich mich durch die Komplikation nicht selbst melden. Das Hotel und auch meine Begleitperson haben versucht in der Nacht die Klinik bzw. auch meine Ansprechpartner zu erreichen. Leider ohne Erfolg. Auch wurde die Information nicht dem Dr. Akif Yildirim weitergegeben, was mich etwas schockiert hatte. Dr. Akif Yildirim ist in seinem Handwerk sehr sicher und macht einen ausgezeichneten Job. Das Vertrauen hatte er vollständig ab dem ersten Tag gewonnen. Nach 5 Tagen kam es zum Kontrolltermin. Dabei war weiterhin eine Dolmetscherin zur Hilfe da. Er hat sich auch genug Zeit gelassen für die Untersuchung und die Reinigung. Auch wurde die nachfolgende Selbstversorgung, die ich machen muss sehr gut erklärt. Post Operative Beraterin Bahar steht jetzt noch in Kontakt mit mir. Bei Fragen oder auch Informationen ist sie rund um die Uhr erreichbar. Ich bin sehr froh über ihre nette Beratung. Mit dem Ergebnis bin ich jetzt schon sehr zufrieden und bin sehr glücklich und froh mit meiner Entscheidung beim Dr. Akif Yildirim die Operation durchgeführt zu haben. Ohne Sorgen und Problemen konnte ich wieder nach Hause. Ich danke herzlichst nochmal für die Unterstützung, für die Arbeit vom Dr. Akif Yildirim und die gute Zusammenarbeit.

Everything Was Perfect 👍 the doctor the staff everybody 👍

I am beyond happy by my experience with the team of Arpanu Medical! The while staff was looking after me all the time, day and night, and were always in touch with me and answered all my questions. Even now, over a month after my rhinoplasty, Mohamet, John and Daria keep in touch with me and are always there for me. I recommend their services to anyone who is still considering and want to thank Arpanu for the care and professionalism!!!!!

Sehr guter und schöner heimischer Aufenthalt und angenehme Behandlung

Ich hatte eine Nasenop und bin insgesamt sehr zufrieden mit dem gesamten Aufenthalt in Istanbul. Es wurde sich um alles gekümmert (Shuttle, Hotel, Klinikaufenthalt) und das Personal ist sehr freundlich und jederzeit gut erreichbar.

I am very satisfied with the service of the nutritionists and the post-operative consultant Bahar. They take good care of you and are always available if you need or want to know anything. I can recommend the whole team, the clinic and the doctor Dr. Highly recommend Ceyhun Aydogan. I look forward to future successes

I recently had rhinoplasty done with Dr Gokhan Mersinlioglu and with the company Arpanu Medical. The doctor was absolutely amazing, he gave me exactly the nose i described and reassured me i will be ok! The after care was amazing the nurses constantly checked on me to make sure i am ok and was very friendly!! Once i was discharged i received a message from Mohamed who is the post operation consultant. He is amazing in answering all my questions and worries! Amazing service from everybody. Thank you so much team!❤️❤️
