Six videos filmed in İzmir, Trustpilot quotes copied word for word, and before-and-after photos of real patients.
Nothing here is scripted, paid for or corrected. Where a reviewer misspelled something, the misspelling stays, because a tidied review reads like an invented one.
Filmed on the ward, at the clinic and outside the hospital. Click to load from YouTube; nothing loads until you do.

3,888 reviews across Trustpilot, Google and post-operative follow-up forms; 160 on Trustpilot alone at 4.9. Two of them independently confirm what this site claims: the pre-operative testing, and the surgeon's availability.

If you want to know what it costs to have all three, the answer is on the gastric sleeve Turkey price section: £2,499, all-inclusive.
Yes. The quotes are copied word for word from public Trustpilot reviews, spelling and all, with the reviewer's first name, country and month. The videos are unscripted and filmed in İzmir. The before-and-after photos are of patients operated on by Op. Dr. Arayıcı and are shown with their consent.
On the public Trustpilot profile of volkanarayici.com, where 160 reviews average 4.9, and on Google. We link to our own site rather than to third parties here, but the profiles are a search away and we encourage you to read the critical ones too.
The two honest recurring points are gas pain in the first two days, which one reviewer called intense, and the emotional dip in week two when you are home, on liquids and tired. Both are normal, both pass, and the twelve-month follow-up exists for exactly that stretch.
Most of the loss happens in the first six months, and the photos here span one to three years. Expect 60–70% of your excess weight to go in twelve to eighteen months if you follow the diet plan.
Several of our UK patients are happy to be contacted, and there is a WhatsApp group where past and current patients exchange experiences. Ask the surgeon and he will connect you.
Send your height, weight and age. The surgeon tells you whether a sleeve is right for you and connects you with a previous UK patient if you would like to talk to one.
The reviewers were once exactly where you are now: a first message, a few numbers, and an honest reply.
WhatsApp is the quickest route. You write to the surgeon himself, not a call centre or an agency.
