Honestly could not knock my experience
Honestly could not knock my experience. Flying solo I was very nervous. I had Nesrine guide me through it all who is an amazing coordinator. I got to the hospital and again was very nervous but was soon reassured. I then got settled in a lovely hospital room. I had bloods taken, chest x-ray and an ultrasound scan on tummy. I then met with my doctor Professor Dr. Cengiz Eriş who was very knowledgeable and made me at ease. I then got given the go ahead for Gastric sleeve surgery. It has been an experience and I’m
So glad to say a success. I was up walking a few hours after. Day 2 is probably the worst but once you get through it your on cloud 9. I met with my dietician and given all my protein shales and vitamins. Then got discharged day 3 post op. I got transferred to a beautiful hotel where I am relaxed and it’s beautiful. Thankyou for everything ❤️
My whole journey with badge clinic was very professional, everyone was very friendly and helpful, from the first consultation and later on site in turkey. The ladies have looked after me very well and I want to express my gratitude. Dr. Mete has done a fabulous job, and I can’t wait to see my end results in a few months.
Badge clinic is great I had breast augmentation done here in Istanbul
They have been very helpful from airport transfer to having surgery done.
The nurses at the hospital was lovely and helpful.
Badge clinic was amazing! I had nurses with me 24/7 who were there to help me understand what was happening during the procedure! Dr. Sarper was very kind and has done 100 liposuctions! He never made me feel uncomfortable and made sure I understood what was best for my body! Highly recommend!
Felt welcomed as soon as I arrived.
I had Dr mete who was absolutely lovely.
All the nurses have been great with me here! Clinic is so clean. Overall experience has been great.
I wholeheartedly endorse this dental clinic for their exceptional patient-centered approach. Their quality of care is unmatched, accompanied by thorough explanations throughout the treatment process. They attentively address concerns, offer invaluable advice, and extend continuous support. Thanks to this clinic, my dental concerns are resolved, bringing immense happiness. I enthusiastically encourage everyone to experience their outstanding services!
I had a really positive experience from start to finish. Everything was so easy to book, and the whole process was organised really well. As soon as I arrived in Turkey, I was picked up from the airport and taken straight to the hotel, …
I was a patient at Badge Clinic. I was impressed by how well they organized to pick me up from the airport, then take me to the hotel and get me back on time. They were very well organized, the staff is pleasant, but the organizers were in touch with me to be sure that everything is done professionally and on time; I also have friends who were patients at this clinic and were satisfied. Thank you Badge clinic so we will definitely see you soon.
Amazing results for my lipo. I initially had my doubts as to how everything was going to turn out, but my goodness, has Dr Mete come through! I’m so pleased with my results and the body line I hadn’t seen in ages! Everything was taken care of from the arrival right down to the departure. The first day of my surgery, the nurses were available throughout the day and night. I had a hard time the first few days even getting up and about, but support was on hand and they came to check up on me several times. The hospital was very clean and the room was definitely of a high standard for a hospital room ( defo VIP like room). Only thing I would say is get ready to use a google translator on your phone as English is obviously second language understandably and go with your eyes open as the first few days felt like death to me (so take someone to help you unlike me as i went alone)but the results are well worth it! Thanks to the staff and Dr Metexx.
I would like to firstly thank aleyna , irem and Nesrine for all their amazing support help and although so friendly but very professional. They made me feel part of The Badge family .. I also want to thank wonderful surgeon Muhammad Eren Șimșek he has done amazing. Feel a million dollars no pain but perfection. My second time now at the Badge and I will most certainly be back. Again from the beginning in contact with admin to flights to the driver to the hotel.. everything runs so smoothly and the people are just gorgeous. I literally will miss them. I’m so happy with the whole process❤️❤️❤️❤️
L Equipe est genial, les soins sont parfait je le recommended fortement et le docteur Meta est tres professionel et realist il penst aux patients et les propose ce qui est mieux adapter pour eux.
I am a patient from the UK who travelled to Badge clinic in Turkey upon recommendations. The level of service from start to finish was 5 star. I had surgery done with badge clinic and everything from their part was so well planned out. Everyone representing the clinic was very friendly and took such good care of me. The communication was 5 star. As my surgery was a few days ago, i haven’t been able to see my final result but from what I have seen, I am extremely happy! Thank you Badge clinic! I will be visiting again.
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 did the hair transplant. Everyone was super cool and nice. My Coordinator Nisrine walked me through all of the steps so I knew what to expect through the procedure and for my after care. The whole process they make sure you are comfortable and accommodated. The hotel they put you up at is really nice, the Free Breakfast Buffet is the BOMB and so is the room service menu. I had a nice stay and my procedure was as painless as possible. 10/10 Would recommend to a friend!
Everything was amazing, the place is facing galata tower so we had the best view , and the san sebastian was very delicious, the staff was also amazing especially Ayman.
I am very pleased with the services of the clinic, the team of doctors and nurses are very helpful in every situation. The procedure was successful, tummy tuck with 360 liposuction, I am very pleased. A wonderful hotel designed for rest, drivers always on time. A clinic worth recommending.
I got a breast augmentation and otoplasty with Dr Mete. He was very friendly and gave me exactly what I asked for. I am very happy with my results so far. The nurses were also very friendly and helpful.

I have felt comfortable and safe the whole time.the nurses and doctors answered any questions i had and i feel very happy already with my results. I will definatley continue to recommend badge clinic. Thank you for everything!
I highly recommend Badge Clinic. From the beginning to the end they were really supportive! All nurses and doctors above and beyond professional. Me and my partner were treated like in 5 star hotel.

What is Sleeve Gastrectomy?
Sleeve Gastrectomy, also known as gastric sleeve surgery, is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure. During the surgery, approximately 75–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow, sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduces the patient’s food capacity and decreases hunger by lowering the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin.
The procedure is ideal for patients who:
- Have a body mass index (BMI) over 35 with associated health conditions
- Have been unsuccessful with diet and exercise
- Seek permanent and effective weight loss
Want to improve obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea
How is Sleeve Gastrectomy Performed?
Sleeve Gastrectomy is performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia:
Pre-Operative Assessment: Patients undergo comprehensive evaluations, including blood tests, imaging, and medical history analysis.
Laparoscopic Surgery: Small incisions are made, and surgical instruments are inserted to remove a large portion of the stomach.
Creation of Sleeve Stomach: The remaining stomach is shaped into a narrow tube, reducing food capacity and promoting early satiety.
Recovery and Follow-Up: Patients receive instructions on diet, physical activity, and post-operative care to maximize results.
The surgery typically takes 1–2 hours, and most patients stay in the hospital for 2–3 days.
Advantages of Sleeve Gastrectomy
- Significant and sustainable weight loss
- Reduction in hunger and portion sizes
- Improvement in obesity-related health conditions
- Minimally invasive with short hospital stay
- Permanent structural change to support weight management
- Enhanced quality of life and self-confidence
Recovery After Sleeve Gastrectomy
Recovery is gradual and requires adherence to dietary and lifestyle changes:
First week: Light diet, gradual return to daily activities
2–4 weeks: Normal activities resume, with continued dietary adjustments
1–3 months: Rapid weight loss begins
6–12 months: Significant and measurable weight reduction
Badge Health provides personalized follow-up care, nutrition counseling, and medical supervision to ensure optimal outcomes.
Risks and Considerations
Sleeve Gastrectomy is a safe and well-established procedure, but as with any surgery, minor risks may include infection, bleeding, or temporary digestive issues. Selecting an experienced team like Badge Health ensures safety, minimizes complications, and provides high success rates.
