Jason’s Gastric Sleeve Success Story at Cevre Hospital in Turkey

Jason Blake, a 32-year-old from Leeds, England, had always faced challenges with his weight. Despite numerous diets and exercise regimens, he found it impossible to achieve the lasting results he desired. The impact of his weight on his health and daily life became too significant to ignore. Determined to make a change, Jason turned to PlacidWay Medical Tourism for guidance.

Jason first heard about PlacidWay from a colleague who had undergone a similar procedure. Impressed by their professionalism and the positive experiences shared, he decided to contact them for a consultation. After discussing his options with a coordinator, Jason was recommended to have a sleeve gastrectomy at Cevre Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey.

Jason's decision was influenced by the high success rates and positive reviews of Cevre Hospital. He felt reassured by the thorough explanations and support provided by the PlacidWay team.

Additionally, the cost of the procedure in Turkey was significantly lower which is around $3900 but in England similar procedure costing around $19000 to Jason. That is the big reason for Jason to get a more affordable option for him.

The hospital's reputation for excellent patient care and the expertise of their medical staff made him feel confident in his choice.

On January 15, 2023, Jason arrived in Istanbul. From the moment he landed, he experienced exceptional care. The hospital staff greeted him warmly at the airport, ensuring a smooth transition to his accommodations.

The next day, he met his surgeon, who explained the procedure in detail and answered all his questions, putting him at ease.

"The care I received from the moment I arrived was outstanding," Jason recalled. "Everyone was so supportive and made me feel comfortable every step of the way."

The sleeve gastrectomy involved removing a significant portion of Jason’s stomach, which would help him lose weight by restricting food intake. The surgery was a success, and Jason began his recovery journey.

The initial weeks were challenging, as he adapted to a new diet and lifestyle. Jason was on a liquid diet for the first few weeks and gradually transitioned to soft foods. He faced discomfort and occasional cravings but remained determined to follow his new dietary guidelines.

Jason’s diet changed dramatically. He now ate small, frequent meals, focusing on high-protein, low-carb options. His new routine included starting the day with a protein-rich breakfast, such as Greek yogurt or scrambled eggs.

He snacked on nuts and fruit throughout the day, had a light soup or salad for lunch, and enjoyed a dinner of lean protein and vegetables. Jason also made sure to stay hydrated and incorporated regular exercise into his daily routine.

With the support of his family, friends, and the medical team at Cevre Hospital, Jason found the strength to overcome the challenges. He lost an impressive 65 kg and felt healthier, more energetic, and more confident than ever before.

Jason’s transformation was not just physical; it also improved his mental and emotional well-being.

"The first few weeks were tough, but seeing the results kept me motivated," Jason shared. "Losing the weight has given me a new lease on life. I feel like I can finally do the things I've always wanted to do."

Jason continued to receive follow-up care from Cevre Hospital and stayed in touch with his PlacidWay coordinator. The hospital's commitment to his long-term success made him feel valued and supported.

Reflecting on his journey, Jason shared, “Deciding to have the sleeve gastrectomy at Cevre Hospital was the best decision I’ve ever made. The care I received was exceptional, and the results have changed my life. I’m now able to do things I never thought possible and feel happier and healthier than ever.”

Jason’s story is a testament to the life-changing impact of gastric sleeve surgery and the importance of choosing the right medical team and support system. His experience at Cevre Hospital with the help of PlacidWay Medical Tourism has set him on a path to a healthier and more fulfilling life.
