Results & Reviews: Real Patient Transformations

I chose to get ESG Max done with Dr Murat Ustun, after being referred by a friend and another medical doctor in Turkey. Dr Ustun speaks English fluently and has many years of experience with bariatric surgical procedures. While there were a couple of hiccups along the way, overall I had an outstanding experience, and would recommend Dr Ustun to anyone considering a bariatric procedure. The package I chose included transport to and from the airport, as well as a multi-night stay in a luxury hotel within walking distance of the hospital. I had an initial consult with him by Zoom, which was complimentary. He explained to me the benefits and risks of multiple options. Dr Ustun came and greeted me before the procedure. He was also present in the operating room after I woke up from anaesthesia. After I was back in my patient room later that day, he came to check on me and explain the results of my procedure. He also came back once per day to check in, until I left and went to the hotel. I have also had access to him by phone ever since the initial consultation, and he continued to follow up on my progress even after I left Turkey. I have been very impressed with his availability and dedication to follow-up care.

I'm very distrustful, especially since I'm a nurse in Spain. However, from the moment they picked me up at the airport, I felt comfortable; everyone was very kind. Dr. Murat explained the entire process to me beforehand, on the day of the surgery, and even in the days that followed, answering all my questions. I'm very happy with the results; the surgery was uncomplicated, and the nurses were also very attentive. THANK YOU

I had my gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey by Dr. Murat and his amazing team on July 1, 2025. My entire experience was nothing short of fabulous. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease — even though I travelled alone. The care, support, and professionalism made me feel like I never needed to have a family member by my side. The surgery itself was incredibly smooth, far beyond what I had imagined. What impressed me most was the continuous support. Dr. Murat's team stayed connected with me from surgery until today, guiding me step by step through nutrition, aftercare, and recovery. I have not faced a single complication since the procedure, and within just four months, I have already lost 35 kg. All I can say is that I completely trust my life with Dr. Murat and his team. Hats off to them for their dedication, compassion, and excellence.
