A Journey To a Healthier You

When you contact us, our UK based Patient Coordinator will ask all we need to know about your health and medical history prior to booking your consultation with Dr Evren. 

At this stage, we start tailoring the entire process to you and inform Dr Evren of your health goals, and book you complimentary online appointment at a time convenient to you.

During your online consultation, Dr Evren will guide you through a comprehensive assessment process, gaining an insight into your psychological, anatomical and emotional goals, all of which are the benchmark of a successful surgical procedure.

The consultation is an invaluable step in your weight loss journey because not only it will allow Dr Evren to develop a thorough understanding of your hopes and concerns, but it will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have at this stage.

In addition to answering questions, Dr Evren will be able to discuss the other aspects of your healthcare such as nutrition, aftercare and physical activity.

At this stage, Dr Evren will work with you and curate a personal treatment plan that focuses on your individual needs and looks at your body as a whole, to achieve big results in the healthiest way. 

Depending on your request, we can arrange a VIP transport service from the airport to the hospital, and back.

Your hospital room will be ready on your arrival and we will go through the admission process with you when you are taken to your room.

Depending on the weight loss surgery you are getting, you will be given a detailed walk through of your surgery and start the pre-surgery preparations and tests. With all the results, you will be medically examined and evaluated by Dr Evren and the medical team including the Internal Medicine doctor and Anaesthesiologist and our dietitian. Other specialist doctors such as Cardiologist, Pulmonologist, Psychiatrist, are also available for further consultation, if needed.

Once your suitability for a weight loss surgery is confirmed, we will proceed with your ultrasound and gastroscopy examinations which will be done under general anaesthesia. 

Once cleared for surgery by all pre-operative tests, you are ready for your weight loss surgery.

Once you are taken to the surgery room, the surgical preparations will be completed and Dr Evren will give the go ahead once you are under general anaesthesia. Depending on the surgery type, the operation takes an average of 60-90 minutes.

Following your weight loss surgery, you would stay at the hospital for 5 nights (on normal circumstances). During your hospital stay, Dr Evren and his dedicated obesity team will do the required blood tests, as well as a further leak test to prevent and minimise the risks associated with the surgical procedure. During this period, you will be encouraged to take walks as often and as long as possible and do lung exercises as instructed by Dr Evren.     

Immediately after surgery (for at least eight weeks) you will be required to follow a special eating plan. Following satisfactory results from all your tests, you will be able to start a clear soup diet which will then be followed by your bespoke diet that would be provided to you by our bariatric dietitian.

There will be some discomfort and pain in the first few days after the surgery. The severity of pain varies from person to person but can be managed with pain killers. 

A full post-op medication and supplement package will be provided to you during your stay at the hospital, as well as for after your stay.

You will be given contact details for us on your discharge from hospital. If you experience any problems after surgery it is important that you contact us directly as soon as possible.

Weight loss surgery is an important first step. But the patients who have long-term success keeping the weight off use surgery in conjunction with the post-op care and long-term support we offer. Weight loss surgery aftercare has a large part to play when it comes to achieving sustainable results. We pride ourselves in providing the most comprehensive support package around you during and after your procedure. That is why, instead of a shorter hospital stay, we offer a 5 night stay to avoid the “in-and-out” kind of arrangement. 

By offering the longer hospital stay after your surgery, you will have access to;

- critical post-op follow up appointments, 

- check-ins to monitor nutrient levels that help us adjust nutritional plans if needed,

- obesity specialist team, if you have questions or experience discomfort afterwards

Weight loss surgery itself is simply a tool to help you lose weight, our aftercare support will work with you to make sure that your weight loss journey is as effective as possible.
