## How we work at Obesity Free Our process is designed to be transparent, clinically rigorous, and low-friction. **1. Pre-consultation assessment.** Once you match with us, our patient coordinator reaches out to gather your medical history, preferred dates, and photos. No obligation, no pressure — just a clear read of whether we're the right fit. **2. Specialist video consultation.** A 30-minute Zoom with the surgeon who would personally handle your case. You'll see their credentials, past work, and hear their honest opinion on your candidacy. **3. Personalised plan + fixed-price quote.** Within 48 hours we send a branded proposal with surgical details, inclusions, validity date, and a clear all-in price. No surprise fees. **4. Arrival, procedure, in-country care.** The weight procedure is performed at our accredited facility by the surgeon you met on Zoom. In-country support covers airport transfer, check-in, surgery day, post-op monitoring, and your in-clinic follow-ups. **5. Structured aftercare.** Virtual check-ins at Day 7, Month 1, 3, 6, 12. Direct line to your surgeon throughout. Your recovery is a partnership — not an afterthought.
Dr. Hasan Erdem — IFSO. Lead specialist at Obesity Free, specialising in sleeve, bypass, mini-bypass, revision.
From the first message to my 12-month follow-up, Obesity Free treated me like a private-hospital patient, not a tourist. The gastric sleeve result is exactly what I wanted, and the surgeon personally called me the morning after to check in. I'd do it again tomorrow.
I flew to Istanbul anxious and came back genuinely happy. The team answered every nervous question honestly. The gastric sleeve was completed exactly on schedule, and the aftercare in the weeks since has been consistent. Highly recommend.
The surgeon who handled my gastric sleeve was clearly world-class. Communication pre-op was excellent, the facility was modern. A couple of admin emails went to spam which was stressful — but the actual clinical experience was first-rate.
