Ipek is 30 years old, from Bremen, and has been considering a gastric sleeve operation for over 2 years. Her starting weight is 126 kilograms.
‘The medicalfly team is so warm-hearted.’
Ipek is very excited as her surgery is about to take place. Just before her gastric sleeve surgery, she tells us from her hospital room, already in surgical clothing, about her reception by medicalfly.
‘The medicalfly team is so sweet and warm,’ she says. She arrived in Izmir one day before her actual surgery date. ‘It’s about to happen, I’m ready,’ she says, the excitement audible in her voice, but medicalfly keeps calming me down, she then says, very reassured.
Ipek was prepared for the operation by medicalfly well in advance. There was a preoperative diet phase during which she lost 10 kilograms. Her ideal weight should be around 59 kilograms. She feels confident, she says. Her medicalfly caregiver is with her; they chat a little, and then she is taken by the nurses to the operating room. Her medicalfly caregiver is with her all the time. Then she heads to the elevator, towards the operating room.
The path to medicalfly…
The reason for the gastric sleeve surgery was that she no longer had a feeling of satiety. She realized things were going in the wrong direction and knew that if it continued, she would gain even more weight. She found medicalfly on Instagram and extensively researched gastric sleeve surgery. She particularly appreciates that medicalfly has German-speaking staff. Even though she speaks Turkish, she feels more comfortable in the language she grew up with.
‘The best decision I could make.’
‘I have no regrets. It was the best decision I made,’ she says, thanking the entire medicalfly team. She also reports that the hospital staff and doctors were super nice and friendly. She was constantly monitored, and they made sure she was doing well, she says, concluding her testimonial about medicalfly and her gastric sleeve surgery with a ‘Thank you very much!'”
Ipek’s story reflects her journey towards a healthier lifestyle and the support she received from medicalfly throughout her gastric sleeve surgery experience.
