The experience travelling from New Zealand

The experience travelling from New Zealand to Turkey was smooth with contact with Emrullah on WhatsApp right to when we flew in and got picked up and at airport and at the hospital all the way to when we went back home. DR Mustafa is super professional and done successful bypass on my dad and sleeve on me. We were treated with respect from nurses , small language barriers but we're offered a translator for all important test. And Google translate helped. It was helpful that Emrullah spoke English and same as the surgeon Dr Mustafa. Me and my dad thank yous for your service and time . I highly recommend this hospital and surgeon !

Highly recommend dr mustafa from istanbulsleeve

Hey guys - traveled from Australia to turkey to do the gastric sleeve surgery through Istanbulsleeve. Although I was skeptical due to the lack of reviews, I can honestly say that I would do this surgery 10x over with dr mustafa. The surgery took place at a super clean and popular university and the nurses were amazing. The surgery itself was painless. 0/10 pain due to dr mustafa using a pain blocker. 6 weeks in and I’m down over 23kgs. Also the price was extremely affordable and worth every cent. Thank you istanbulsleeve for making my experience stress free and enjoyable

From the very first contact

From the very first contact, the care has been warm, professional, and truly human. Dr. Mustafá has been attentive to every detail, answering all my questions with patience and giving me a lot of confidence. You can really tell when a doctor has true vocation.

The organization at IstanbulSleeve has been impeccable: the team accompanied me at all times, from my arrival, the preoperative tests, the surgery itself, and the follow-up afterwards. I felt very well cared for and safe throughout the whole process.

I want to sincerely thank them for the treatment I received and, above all, for the life change that I know this will mean for me. This procedure marks a before and after, and I face it with hope and excitement. Thanks to the doctor and the whole team for helping me recover my health and well-being.

I totally recommend it.

I came to Istanbul Turkey on the…

I came to Istanbul Turkey on the 3/01/25 alone ready for my new journey with Dr Mustfa. I was picked up and taken to the hospital where I met my coordinator ( Emrullah) who has been nothing but amazing! He has made me feel so ease with the whole process. The nurses, the doctors and everyone in this hospital are the most loviest, friendliest and down to earth people you will ever meet. Most of them speak english. Nothing is too much! I have no regrets!

Amazing Team

The doctor was very nice and patient. Answered all the questions we had and he even gave some unrelated health advice. He was great! I was really impressed with the coordinator's/assistant's (Emrullah) work! His attention to details and problem-solving skills was exceptional, and he consistently exceeded my expectations. You can ask him anything, he'll find answer/solution! Their positive attitude and willingness to make you feel at ease made them a pleasure to have the surgery with them.
Most of the nurses speak English at some level. Overall, I am happy we chose them!

So happy with Dr Mustafa and my surgery

I had a sleeve with Dr Mustafa in April 2022, I honestly cannot thank him enough for giving me my life back. The surgery was plain sailing, as was recovery! I have had an endoscopy at my local hospital recently who actually commented that my surgery was done well and my stomach looked great! This was very reassuring. Thankyou Dr Mustafa

Gastric Sleeve

I had my gastric sleeve in September 2022 with Dr Mustafa and so pleased that I did it! From years of being overweight and no confidence to now loving life, feeling confident and keeping fit in the gym. The lifestyle change is huge. Dr Mustafa is amazing. Lovely guy and his expertise is second to none. Thank you so much for giving me my life back.

Gastric S

Gastric sleeve 22nd May 2024
After suffering with high blood pressure and having to take 2 different tablets daily, Yoyo diets all my life. Losing 2-5 stone a time and then gaining it back. I decided to research sleeves.
From the minute I booked to the minute I landed back in the UK ( and even now I can message with any problems or questions) I was looked after 💯. Hospital was very clean and tidy, staff amazing. My mum was looked after and fed well too
Translators did a great job too.
7 weeks from the beginning of LRD, 5 weeks PO and I’m 3 stone 7lb down. And no blood pressure tablets.

Thank you so much Dr Mustafa and team

My whole world has changed thanks to Dr Mustafa!

In February 2023 I decided to get a gastric sleeve after years of unhappiness. I didn’t want to continue being miserable every year. So after lots of research I saw a few people who had been to Dr Mustafa for surgery and had incredible results. The surgery was quick and easy and I had so many checks done before to ensure I was healthy enough for the surgery. Fast forward to over a year later, I am nearly 5 stone down (65lbs) and the happiest I have ever been in my life. My whole world has changed thanks to Dr Mustafa.

Gastric Sleeve

I had Gastric Sleeve with Dr Mustafa in October 2023. I can't say anything bad about him or my experience. It was amazing the whole time. He was so lovely he would check in everyday from after surgery to make sure I was ok, to make sure I was walking ect. I still keep in contact with him till this day also. Am now 7 months 14 day PO and lost 5st 3lbs, I've went from 20st 3lbs ( BMI - 45.7 ) to now being 15st ( BMI 33.9 ) I couldn't be more happy I still have more to loose but as they say it takes time
