Having had her revision rhinoplasty in December 2015, N.A from London, has decided to benefit from FlyHealth services one more time in order to get rid of her excessive weight. In comparison to Greece and Kuwait, gastric sleeve in Istanbul offered the most convenient package both in terms of quality and affordability.

Regular pre operation tests were a bit more than, her previous cosmetic surgery operation and took 2 full days in hospital. Total blood count; glucose, urea, Kreatinin, AST, ALT, GGT, Cardiology Assessment (ECG & echocardiography) and many more tests were completed in two full days. For this reason Istanbul stay of the patient had to be fourteen days. She has tried to get all her tests done in London however, there was a waiting list and not all the tests were available unlike in Istanbul.

During in person consultation, first thing she wanted to know was expected weight loss from the gastric sleeve surgery in Istanbul. During in person consultation it was explained to her that the answer changes for every patient.

“If you follow the guidelines, change bad habits, replace them with new healthy habits, then you can expect to lose more than 60% of your excess weight.”Ultimately, success from gastric sleeve surgery comes from setting the proper expectations, making a decision to change your habits and sticking to that decision.” Said FlyHealth surgeon.
