"I Wanted to Take Control of My Life" – Monica’s Struggle with Obesity
Monica Paye, a 35-year-old woman from Louisville, had always struggled with her weight. Despite years of trying different diets and exercise plans, the battle with obesity left her feeling defeated and physically exhausted. The excess weight had a major impact on her health, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. Monica realized that her weight was no longer just a cosmetic concern—it was impacting her life in every way, from relationships to her career.
"I had tried everything, but nothing seemed to work. I was tired of feeling stuck, and I knew I needed to take control of my life. My health was at risk, and I couldn’t continue on the path I was on."
The Frustration of Finding Treatment Locally – "The Roadblocks Were Too Much"
Monica sought local treatment options for her obesity in the United States, but she quickly discovered that many programs and bariatric treatments were not affordable or practical. Long waiting lists and high costs created significant barriers to accessing the care she needed. With no local options that seemed to work, Monica began to feel increasingly desperate and frustrated.
"I couldn’t find anything that worked within my budget. Every clinic I visited seemed to offer only temporary fixes, and the real solution felt so far out of reach."
Seeking a Solution Abroad – "A Leap of Faith"
After months of research, Monica realized she needed to look beyond the United States for a solution. She considered medical tourism and began exploring affordable, high-quality options abroad. That’s when she found Turkey, a country known for offering world-class medical services at a fraction of the cost of treatment in the United States. The idea of traveling abroad for surgery was daunting, but Monica was determined to make a change.
"It was a big decision, and I was scared. What if something went wrong? What if I couldn’t communicate? But I knew I had to try. My health and my future were at stake."

"Raquel was a game-changer. She answered all my questions, provided clarity, and made the whole process feel less overwhelming. PlacidWay gave me the confidence to move forward."
Preparing for the Journey – "A Mix of Excitement and Fear"
The journey to Turkey for bariatric surgery was full of logistical and emotional challenges for Monica. She had to arrange her travel, organize finances, and say goodbye to her family. Though she was nervous, Monica felt that this was the best chance for her to reclaim her life.
"I was both excited and terrified. I had never traveled to a foreign country for medical treatment before, but I knew it was the only way I could change my life. I was ready for the challenge."
First Impressions in Turkey – "I Felt Welcomed and Reassured"
Upon arriving at the clinic in Turkey, Monica was immediately reassured by the professionalism and hospitality of the medical team. The clinic was state-of-the-art, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. Monica met her surgeon, who took the time to explain the procedure in detail, making her feel confident in her decision.
"From the moment I arrived, I knew I had made the right choice. The clinic was beautiful, and the staff treated me like family. I felt safe and reassured throughout the entire process."
The Treatment Process – "A Life-Changing Experience"
The bariatric surgery was an emotional and physical challenge, but Monica’s dedication and the support of her medical team kept her focused. She faced moments of fear, but as each day passed, she began to feel stronger. The surgery was a success, and Monica’s journey to better health had begun.
"It was a challenging process, but the results were absolutely worth it. The medical team made sure I was well taken care of every step of the way. I felt like I was truly transforming."
Recovery – "A New Lease on Life"
Monica’s recovery was gradual but rewarding. As the days passed, she noticed significant changes in her energy levels and overall health. Her confidence grew, and she began to feel like the person she had always wanted to be.
"When I saw the results, I felt like a new person. I had more energy, and I felt so much better about myself. It was a moment of victory that I will never forget."
