Je recommande cette clinique à 100 % tout était très propre et le personnel a vraiment été présent du début jusqu’à la fin. Une prise en charge dès la sortie de l’aéroport on ne se sent jamais seul même si on vient seul sur place des traducteurs sont là pour vous aider et des infirmiers sont là pour s’occuper de vous. Que vous soyez à l’hôtel ou à l’hôpital personne ne vous laisse sans réponse vous êtes vraiment accompagné du début jusqu’à la fin. Je suis très satisfaite de mon expérience chez badge clinique chaque petit désaccord a été réglé quasiment instantanément par ma coordinatrice Nisrine car ils ont une très bonne communication. Pour résumer je vous dirai que vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés vous ne serez pas déçu ni de votre prise en charge ni du résultat de votre opération.

Just had Gastric Sleeve Surgery and a Gastric Band removal surgery completed on 24/05/24 by Prof. Dr. Cengis Eris at the hospital in Istanbul. From start to finish the entire Badge team have been nothing short of amazing. From pick up at the airport to your return back home they have been in contact and making sure I fully understand what is happening and what to expect. My Co-ordinator Nesrine has been amazing. I traveled by myself and was worried this was going to be too much but the team at Badge really take fantastic care of you. If you are debating if this is right thing to do or if this is the right place to have your surgery I can’t stress enough just how amazing and resasurred the team has made me feel. Although I’m only really a couple of days out and will see the results over the next coming weeks and months. I am relatively pain free and able to manage my normal activities which surprised me but shows just great they are at what they do.

My experience with badge clinic has been amazing. The help and support I received both before and in Istanbul has been flawless. My coordinator Enes has been very helpful and answered all my questions. While I was in Istanbul my Coordinator Nebia has been extremely pleasant and made me feel welcomed. My surgeon Dr Mete has done a great job and for once when he asked if I had any questions I was speechless. My experience thus far has been amazing and I would definitely recommend Badge Clinic.

I recently underwent a hair transplant at Badge Clinic in Istanbul, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure follow-up, the team at Badge Clinic demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.
The clinic itself is state-of-the-art, with modern facilities that made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt fully prepared before the procedure. The medical team, led by highly skilled surgeons, was extremely meticulous, ensuring everything was done with precision and care.
The procedure itself was smooth and relatively painless, and I was impressed with the thoroughness and attention to detail. The team ensured I understood the post-op care instructions, and the follow-up support has been fantastic. I am excited about the final outcome!
Traveling to Istanbul for this procedure was definitely worth it also VIP transportation between airport, 5 start to clinic and Badge Clinic provides an excellent combination of affordability and world-class expertise. For anyone considering a hair transplant, I would highly recommend Badge Clinic. They exceeded my expectations in every way.
Dr Brow
Post surgery of 4 days, fly back room night. I’ve had 360 lipo, tummy tuck and a do repair. Nurse all so kind and Google translate helps. Walking as advised has helped a lot increase mobility and reduce swelling or bloating. Defiantly take comfy button up the front over size item, travel light and book special assistance for the airport to help get through the massive airport.
Results look great already and super bloated and need to get lymph massages but extremely happy so far.
Hotel staff, clinic & hospital staff are all friendly. Surgeon lovely and nice. Just drink plenty, stay comfy and walking is key!!

I went to Turkey to get my new healthy Hollywood smile. Badge Clinic was recommended to me and my initial experience with Miray was very positive. On my arrival I met Nesrine – my medical coordinator. She took excellent care of my dental journey. She was professional, always available and ready to help me. Nesrine went above and beyond to assist me and I am forever grateful for her effort. I would recommend Badge Clinic to everyone. Their customer service and care are exceptional. Thank you Nesrine and Miray!

Gastric Bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is a surgical procedure that reduces the stomach size and reroutes the small intestine. This dual approach limits food intake and reduces calorie absorption, resulting in significant weight loss.
The procedure is especially suitable for patients who:
Have a body mass index (BMI) over 40
Have obesity-related health issues such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea
Have not achieved weight loss through diet, exercise, or non-surgical methods
Seek permanent, long-term weight management
How is Gastric Bypass Surgery Performed?
Gastric Bypass is usually performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia:
Pre-Operative Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation including blood tests, imaging, and medical history analysis.
Stomach Reduction: A small pouch is created from the upper portion of the stomach to limit food intake.
Intestinal Rerouting: Part of the small intestine is connected to the new stomach pouch, reducing calorie absorption.
Post-Operative Care: Patients receive instructions for diet, activity, and follow-up visits.
The procedure typically lasts 2–3 hours, and most patients stay in the hospital for 2–4 days.
Advantages of Gastric Bypass Surgery
Significant and sustained weight loss
Improvement in obesity-related health conditions
Reduced appetite and portion control
Minimally invasive laparoscopic approach
Long-term changes to support weight management
Enhanced quality of life and confidence
Recovery After Gastric Bypass Surgery
Recovery requires careful adherence to dietary and lifestyle guidelines:
First week: Light diet and gradual return to daily activities
2–4 weeks: Increase activity levels while following structured diet
1–6 months: Rapid weight loss and adjustment to new eating habits
12–18 months: Full benefits and long-term weight management
Badge Health provides tailored aftercare, nutrition counseling, and regular follow-ups to ensure the best outcomes.
Risks and Considerations
Gastric Bypass Surgery is a safe and well-established procedure but carries minor risks such as infection, bleeding, or temporary digestive issues. Choosing experienced surgeons and a reputable clinic like Badge Health minimizes risks and ensures high success rates.
