What Our Patients Say

UK Isabel W.

★★★★★

My sister and I came from the UK and had gastric sleeve surgery at Alika Health Group. The surgery and the recovery process were pain free and the entire team was very attentive. We are now in our 6th month and we have both lost about 35 kg. Our lives have truly changed even just walking from one place to another is easier now. We cant express how grateful we are. Best regards from the UK.

UK Sophie T.

★★★★★

On the recommendation of a friend who had previously undergone gastric bypass surgery here in Turkey I traveled from UK and had gastric sleeve surgery at the Alika Health Group. My surgery and recovery went smoothly. They handled the entire process at the airport hospital and hotel. Before I returned home they gave me protein powder and supplements. And after I returned the support from the dietitian and followup care continued. Its now the fourth month since the surgery and by following my dietitians guidelines I have lost about 30 kg. My entire life has completely changed. Im so glad I chose this place.

UK Alex S.

★★★★★

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Alika in Istanbul. I heard about them from a friend of mine in London who had gastric balloon with them before. So I had gastric sleeve surgery and my companion had a full health checkup with them, the whole process was so smooth and easy. They handled all our hospital arrangements, hotel bookings, and transfers. They provided continuous support throughout the whole process and even gave us vitamins and protein supplements before we left. They truly helped me realize that the fear I'd been experiencing for years was unnecessary. Their team and professionalism truly deserve praise. Thank you so much 💙💙

Canada Elizabeth J.

★★★★★

First of all, I would like to thank my doctor, coordinator Ali, the dietitians, the nurses, and the rest of the team for their support. They handled the entire process—from the airport to the hospital to the hotel—as well as my health insurance and everything else, and they provided constant support; we were always able to reach them whenever we had a question. I highly recommend them to everyone.

I saw Alika Health Group on Instagram. After doing some thorough research and seeing the quality and experience of the doctors, I decided to have gastric sleeve surgery here. It's only been a week, but I haven't had any pain, and I've already started walking and working at my desk job. Thank you all you've changed my life.

UK Lily G.

★★★★★

I came across Alika Health Group online. After doing some research, I found out that their doctors are highly experienced surgeons, that the company handles the entire process from arrival in Turkey to departure, and that they don't charge inflated prices like other companies do, which is why I chose them. It's been two weeks since my gastric sleeve surgery, and I haven't experienced any pain. Everything is going very well. Thank you to the entire team.

UK Kate Y.

★★★★★

I dont know where to start, I had an excellent experience with ALIKA. Their team was all so kind and made me feel super safe and exceptionally well cared for at every stage. Communication was excellent, and everything was professional. I booked a package through Alika Health Group, so I didn't have to worry about transportation or accommodation. Since I was traveling alone, I'm so happy I made the right choice. The nurses are also very very nice to me the whole time and made me feel taken care of.

USA Burke H.

★★★★★

I found Alika Health Group for my aunt through a google search for gastric sleeve in turkey. From the first contact on whatsapp they were very professional. They sent us a medical form to examine my eligibility for the surgery and after that we had consultation calls with the coordinator and the bariatric surgeon. Their team kept us informed throughout our journey with 7/24 support, hospital arrangements, hotel booking, private transfers, and more. Thank you so much!!!

UK Ella B.

I'd like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire team, including my doctor, the nurses, and the dietitian. I highly recommend them.

UK James F.

★★★★★

We traveled from London, UK. I first heard about the clinic from a neighbor who had gastric sleeve surgery here in Turkey. Since my bmi was over 40, I had gastric bypass surgery. I am now in my fourth week post-op, and I am continuing with my exercise routine, my work, and my normal life without any problems. Thank you to all and special thanks to my doctor Dr.Salim and Coordinator Mr.Ali.

Australia Anna N.

★★★★★

I saw Alika Health Group on social media. After looking into it, I saw that their doctors are highly experienced surgeons, and their prices are affordable. I filled out the form they sent me, and my surgeon told me which procedure would be suitable for me. Following the consultation, I decided to go ahead with the surgery. They handled everything from start to finish, and I'm still receiving support from a dietitian. Even though I'm only in my second month, I've already lost 21 kg. I'm very happy with my decision and would recommend it to everyone.

Australia Karl B.

★★★★★

While researching gastric balloon in turkey, I saw Alika Health Group. After doing some research, I decided to get the Medsil gastric balloon procedure. The procedure took about 20 minutes, and I didn't experience any pain afterward and I was able to go about my daily life right away. It's been one month now, and I've lost 12 kg. Thanks to the entire team.

UK Katia R.

★★★★★

On the recommendation of a close friend, I had a 6-month gastric balloon done at Alika Health Group. The procedure took less than half an hour, and I didn't experience any pain afterward. They handled the entire hospital process, vip transfers, hotel and gave me supplements before I returned home. After returning to my home country, I continued to receive support from the dietitian and follow-up care. It's been about two months since the procedure, and I've lost approximately 20 kg. I'd like to thank the entire team, especially my coordinator and doctor.

Australia Chloe M.

★★★★★

I had a gastric balloon at Alika. From the moment I arrived in Turkey—including my pickup, transfers to the hospital and hotel, the entire process there, and the supplements provided before I left—to the dietitian support and follow-up care after I returned home, the entire experience was wonderful and went smoothly. By the end of the 6 months, I had lost 26 kg. The price was reasonable. I highly recommend it to everyone.

UK Susan A.

★★★★★

Hello, my name is Susan. I came to Turkey from the UK to have a gastric balloon inserted. I was nervous at first, but thanks to the professional team, doctors, and service at Alika Health Group, I felt very safe. The procedure was over quickly, and I didn't experience any pain afterward. The hotel was lovely. The ongoing support I received even after returning home was a huge help throughout this process. Thank you to everyone.

Ireland Jamie O.

★★★★★

I had a stomach balloon with them. From the moment I arrived in Turkey including my pickup, transfers to the hospital and hotel, the entire process there, the supplements provided before my departure and the dietitian support and follow-up care after I returned home, the entire experience was wonderful. By the end of the 6 months, I had lost 21 kg. The price was reasonable as well. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Australia Emma J.

★★★★★

The service was excellent and the staff were attentive; the price was reasonable and the service was top-notch. Overall, I was very satisfied. My weight loss is going very well. I'm in my sixth month, and by sticking to my diet plan, I've almost shed all my excess weight. Thank you for your interest and support.

UK Olivia T.

★★★★★

I went there on the recommendation of a friend who had previously had surgery there and was satisfied with the results. After my consultation with the surgeon, we decided that I was a good candidate for a mini gastric bypass and that it was the best option for my health. I returned to my desk job a week after the surgery and had no pain. I'm now in my fifth month and have lost approximately 35 kg. I'm following the diet plan my dietitian gave me. Everything is going very well.

UK Sarah O.

★★★★★

Hello, I'm Sarah. My husband and I traveled from London to Turkey to undergo gastric bypass surgery at Alika Health Group. I had gastric bypass on March 29, 2026. Everyone—especially my doctor, Dr. Salim, and coordinator Mr. Ali, as well as the dietitians and post-op nurses—was very professional. We never felt alone. The service was excellent from start to finish, and the package price was very reasonable. You've changed my life thank you so much. Best regards from UK.

UK Ava W.

★★★★★

I had a VIP checkup at Alika Health Group. They performed all my blood tests, physical exams, and imaging tests, such as ultrasounds and chest X-rays. Since I couldn't go there in person, they sent me the results along with explanations via WhatsApp. It was completed very quickly, and the price was very reasonable. Thank you to everyone. I highly recommend it.

UK Grace G.

★★★★★

I had gastric sleeve surgery elsewhere before, but it didn't give me the results I wanted. After considering my options, I decided to have SASI bypass surgery. After the surgery, my blood sugar, energy levels, and appetite stabilized, and my weight loss after the SASI procedure was much more consistent than it was with the gastric sleeve. Honestly it was worth it. I feel much more in control now and healthier overall.

UK Thomas W.

★★★★★

I previously had gastric sleeve surgery in my home country. I lost weight during the first year, but then my weight loss slowed down and I developed acid reflux. After doing a lot of research, I decided to have revision gastric bypass surgery at Alika Health Group. At first, I was scared because this would be my second surgery, but later I realized it was the best decision I ever made. After the surgery, my acid reflux disappeared immediately, and I reached the weight I hadn't been able to achieve with my previous surgery. The team was very supportive throughout the recovery process, and I felt I was in safe hands. Thank you to everyone.

UK Amelia W.

★★★★★

A few years ago, I had gastric sleeve surgery at another place, but unfortunately, I didn't reach my target weight and started regaining the weight I had lost. Later, while researching revision surgeries, I came across Alika Health Group. After consulting with my doctor, we decided that a mini gastric bypass revision was the best option for me. At first, I was anxious about undergoing another surgery, but everything went much more smoothly than I had anticipated. I've started losing weight again and this time it felt more sustainable. Overall, I'm very happy with my decision and the results I've achieved.

UK Pablo G.

★★★★★

I had previously undergone a gastric sleeve surgery elsewhere, but it was unsuccessful. I wasn't able to reach my target weight, which made me feel like I'd gone through the surgery for nothing and really upset me. Afterward, I decided to have revision gastric bypass surgery at Alika. The company's professionalism and experience made me feel safe and secure. I started losing weight shortly after the surgery, and unlike my previous surgery, my weight loss has been very steady and sustainable. I'm very satisfied.

Ireland Brian T.

★★★★★

I came from Ireland and underwent a transit bipartition SASI bypass surgery at Alika Health Group. The entire process went smoothly, and my doctor and the team provided me with special care. My blood sugar levels stabilized and I began losing weight starting from the very first days after the surgery. I am currently continuing my weight loss journey in my home country with the support of a dietitian. Thank you.

Georgia Luka O.

★★★★★

On the recommendation of a friend from Georgia who had previously undergone obesity surgery here, I came to Alika Health and had diabetes surgery. I am now in my sixth month, have lost most of my excess weight, and am no longer insulin-dependent—I've completely stopped using it. Thank you to the Alika Health Group team for changing my life. I recommend this place to everyone battling type 2 diabetes.

UK Levan D.

★★★★★

I came across Alika while searching for bariatric surgery on Google, and after my consultation, I decided to have the surgery. I'm very happy with my decision—I'm so glad I went through with it. I'm now in my third month, and I've completely stopped using insulin and lost a significant amount of weight. Thank you to my doctor and the team members who answered all my questions 24/7.

UK Elizabeth L.

★★★★★

Last month, I underwent SASI Bypass (Transit Bipartition) surgery at Alika Health Group to finally free myself from the triple burden of lifelong insulin dependence, erratic blood sugar levels, and excess weight. I am so grateful to my doctor because I no longer have any issues with my blood sugar. My quality of life has truly improved. Best regards from UK, Elizabeth.

USA Leo J.

★★★★★

We came from California. We were nervous at first but once we arrived in Turkey and saw the warm welcome we received and the professionalism of the team we felt at ease. The entire process was pleasant and stress free. Anyone considering coming from the USA to undergo gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey can do so with complete peace of mind. We'd also like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Salim and Mr. Ali.

Turkey Fuat S.

★★★★★

In short, the best place in Turkey for bariatric travel experienced team clean clinics and affordable prices definitely recommend it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose Turkey for my medical treatments?
Turkey combines internationally accredited hospitals (many JCI-certified), highly experienced surgeons, and advanced medical technology with significantly lower costs compared to the UK, US, or Western Europe. At Alika Health Group, you receive world-class care at a fraction of the price — without compromising on safety, quality, or personalized attention.
What happens after I book my surgery?
Once your reservation is confirmed with a deposit, we create a dedicated private WhatsApp group with our coordinators, doctors, and nurses. You'll receive a detailed pre-surgery guide covering medical preparation, nutrition recommendations, travel tips, and packing suggestions. Our team stays in close contact throughout your preparation period.
How is payment handled?
A small deposit secures your surgery date. The remaining balance is typically paid upon arrival at our clinic in Istanbul, before your procedure. We accept multiple payment methods including cash (EUR, GBP, USD), credit card, and bank transfer. All pricing is transparent — the package price you're quoted is the final price, with no hidden fees.
How should I prepare before travelling to Turkey?
For bariatric procedures, you'll typically follow a pre-operative liver-reduction diet for 2–4 weeks. Your surgeon will provide a personalized checklist based on your procedure. You'll also receive a packing list, travel document reminders, and any medication guidance. Don't worry — your WhatsApp group is available 24/7 for any questions.
What happens when I arrive in Turkey?
Our VIP transfer team greets you at Istanbul Airport and takes you directly to the hospital. On the same day, you'll complete your pre-operative tests and have a face-to-face consultation with your surgeon. You'll stay in the hospital overnight in a comfortable private suite before your surgery the following day.
Will I receive support if I'm travelling alone?
Absolutely. Many of our international patients travel solo. You'll have a dedicated coordinator available 24/7, VIP transfers between the airport, hotel, and hospital, multilingual nursing staff, and constant communication through your private WhatsApp group. You are never alone during any step of the journey.
Can I combine my treatment with a vacation or sightseeing?
Yes, if your doctor approves and your recovery permits. We can arrange private Istanbul city tours, a sunset yacht cruise on the Bosphorus, or shopping experiences — tailored around your medical schedule. Let your coordinator know in advance so we can plan the best timing for you.
What is the hospital experience like post-surgery?
You'll recover in a private suite in a modern, internationally accredited hospital. Our nursing staff is with you around the clock, and your surgeon visits daily to check on your progress. Meals are tailored to your post-operative nutrition plan, and early mobilization (walking) is encouraged from day one for a faster recovery.
What support is provided at the hotel after surgery?
You'll be accommodated at a handpicked luxury hotel. Our coordinator checks in with you regularly, and a nurse can visit on request. If any concern arises, you can reach us instantly via WhatsApp and return to the hospital for a check-up at any time.
How is aftercare and follow-up provided?
Our care doesn't end when you fly home. You receive a 12-month follow-up program with scheduled online check-ins with your surgeon, ongoing nutrition support from our dietitian, and unlimited access to your patient WhatsApp group for any question. Supplements and guidance are provided before departure to ensure a smooth recovery.
Do you provide dietitian or fitness support?
Yes. All bariatric packages include one full year of dietitian support — personalized meal plans, progress monitoring, and ongoing guidance through each stage of your recovery (liquid, soft foods, transition to solids). Fitness recommendations are integrated into your plan once your surgeon clears you for physical activity.
