Galya Health Omdömen 

Right from the start of the journey Galya Health were there every step of the way. Senem and Sedek guided us through the whole process making everything easy and answering any questions we had. I was unlucky to be sick prior to surgery and they were right on to it -.surgery was delayed till they thought I was well. The nurses, doctors and cleaners were all lovely. The language barrier can be tricky but immerse yourself and try and connect 💫We are home now and post op is going well. Thank you Galya Health!

Thank you Senem, Sadiq +the other lovely gentleman. Felt welcomed, taken care of, safe and informed every step of the way. I went as support for my sister who had surgery +I had my back molars taken care of. Quoted $NZD4k root canal 1 tooth- Gayla: no root canal needed, filler +clean is all so got the other side done + take out mercury filling =$NZD890. Professional services. To Hunn (w coloured blond hair -sorry not correct name!) cleaning staff you were so supportive Thank You! We’ll be back.. Kia Ora Gayla 👌🏽

After years of struggling with my weight, I made the difficult but life-changing decision to travel to Turkey for gastric sleeve surgery. With the exceptional support and service provided by Senem at Galya Health, I underwent the procedure in February 2025. In 23 weeks, I've lost 38 kg. The transformation has been incredible-my cravings and feelings of hunger have disappeared, my overall health has improved significantly, and the chronic pain I used to experience in my knees, back and hips is completely gone. Thos journey has truly changed my life.

My experience with Galya Health was amazing. From my arrival right through to discharge I were well looked after. Semen is a God sent, she made sure everything was taken care of and is always there when needed, even on her days off. The medical staff, interpreter, cleaner were all so good. Everyone was so professional and so kind. It was comforting and reassuring. Thank you Senem and Team for all that you do. Your care, kindness and professionalism amazing.

Nga Mihi Galya Health
Thank you to Senem n the wonderful Surgeons and Medical Staff who made my journey to a better and healthy life come true.
I was greeted by Sadek who took me to get all my tests done prior to surgery...I was blown away how thorough they all were like WOW I them met my surgeon who explained everything to me and by 12.30pm I was getting ready to go to surgery.
Pre n Post op surgery was amazing i was well looked after.
I had the Gastric Bypass n have no regrets I have had no problems just getting use to the change of diet but it's been amazing.
I think the couches for support persons should be reviewed as they were not comfortable maybe Lazy Boy chairs would be better? I felt for support people who were struggling with the sleeping couches need to be looked after as well.
Highly recommend to have your surgery with Galya.
Nga mihi nui Galya Hauora me Senem xx

I booked my gastric sleeve with Senem and from the moment I booked my procedure to the moment I returned to my home country (and even now 1 month post-op) the service she provided was fabulous! The care, service and professionalism is top notch, Senem is truly the best. I had many questions prior to arriving, especially being a solo traveler and she always replied so promptly.
If anyone is on the fence about any procedure through Gayla Health I would highly recommend Senem and the team… you will be in safe hands!
Thank you Senem and her team for helping me change my life, truly grateful 🙏🏽

We had a great experience. My surgery went without a hitch, the pre op tests were very thorough and my pre and post care was excellent at Medical Park hospital. The surgeon there visited twice daily and the Galya team called in to visit frequently.

My husband’s dental treatment went very well also. He was well supported to, from and through the process and he his very happy with his first round of treatments. We are returning to Istanbul in late October for his final treatment.

He mihi nui tēnei ki a koe Senem, koutou ko tō tima a Sadek rāua ko Sādik mō tō koutou manaakitanga ki a mātou. See you again in October.

I absolutely loved my experience with Galya Health. I was well cared for and supported prior and post my surgery. There was no room for worry thanks to Senem for being great at organizing my journey. It is a difficult decision to go to another country for medical support, however I would do it again with Galya Health. I have no complications and by following my post op instructions I have recovered great and I am extremely happy with the results I am seeing every week. Thanks Senem and Galya Health.

Kia ora,

I am from Aotearoa New Zealand.

I reached out to Senem to enquire about WLS. She replied almost immediately. Communication was clear and concise and I was told what to do to book my operation.

A few weeks later I was in Turkey. The Pre operation tests were thorough. My Operation was conducted by a world class surgeon / Professor Seyit . The Care from nurses was of a high quality. My room was constantly cleaned, my needs met, Senem & GP rang me in the evening to check on me.

The overall experience was positive, smooth, caring and nurturing. Yes there are language and cultural differences, but you will receive a transformative operation, receive world class treatment, and be blessed to be in an ancient land that is truly spectacular.

I highly recommend, Galya

Flying from New Zealand to Istanbul was nerve wracking but Senem and her team at Galya Health supported me through the whole process. I had gastric bypass at end of June 2025.
From the perioperative testing to the actual surgery and care received post op, the team were checking in on us twice a day. Even after I flew home, the check-ins to see how I am are appreciated. Thanks Senem for making my surgery and stay accommodating and supportive.

Had gastric bypass surgery, Galya health and Senem and her team made it very a easy process

What can I say, Senem, Sadik and the medical team at Gayla Health are amazing! From start to finish everything is organised to the detail and healing is taken care of by everyone. The surgeons visit more than once a day to check in your and OMG the cleaners are in atleast 4 times a day keeping everything spic and span making sure you need for nothing. While you reat and heal. My support person was well fee and taken care of also. I do not believe we would have received the same care, attention and cleanliness in NZ sadly. Ka nui te aroha ngā tangata ō Türkiye and Gayla health. Such a complete life changing adventure, I have returned home a differnt person both physically and mentally 😇🙏🏽🥰💜

I recently underwent gastric sleeve surgery through Gayla Health, and I truly cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the moment I made contact, I was met with professionalism, genuine warmth, and seamless communication. My coordinator, Senem, was nothing short of exceptional. She became the calm, reassuring voice throughout every stage of the process—compassionate, organised, and always one step ahead.

The level of care I received felt deeply personal. Senem anticipated my needs, answered every question (no matter how small or anxious), and created a sense of trust that made me feel safe and supported from start to finish. Even during moments of vulnerability, her presence brought comfort and clarity.

The medical team at Gayla Health were equally impressive—experienced, attentive, and focused not just on the surgery itself, but on my overall well-being. I felt like more than just a patient; I felt seen and cared for as a whole person.

Recovery has been smooth thanks to the thorough aftercare support and detailed guidance provided. I’m incredibly grateful to Senem and the entire team at Gayla Health for making such a life-changing journey feel empowering, positive, and filled with grace.

If you’re considering gastric surgery and want a team that genuinely cares, I wholeheartedly recommend Gayla Health. They’ve not only changed my lifethey’ve uplifted it.

I want to share my experience to help others be prepared.

I’ve always had anxiety around dental visits, so I expected a numbing injection before anything painful was done like I’ve always had back home. But when I went in they immediately started drilling my tooth without numbing me first.

I was visibly in pain flinching and groaning but they kept going. It wasn’t until I couldn’t take it anymore that they finally gave me some numbing injection, but they didn’t even wait for it to kick in. They just started drilling again almost immediately. It was honestly one of the worst dental experiences I’ve ever had.

Afterward, they took me into another room for a cleaning. They drilled around the tops of my teeth, hitting my gums repeatedly. It was extremely painful. My teeth are clean now, sure but the whole process was genuinely shocking.

I’m not trying to be negative just honest. If you have dental anxiety or sensitivity, please ask lots of questions and make sure they’re clear about pain management before letting them start. I hope this helps someone avoid the same situation.

All I can say is wow! I'm so grateful for the care and compassion I have had from the team at galya health..from the flawless airport pick up to walking through the hospital doors Senem and the team have been amazing and reassuring. I am so thankful I trusted them for my gastric sleeve surgery

Trust the process,
I traveled to Istanbul for gastric sleeve surgery, with nerves of been in another country was alot. But having such a great team along side you was awsome Senem has been amazing throughout the whole process. Sedek the translator was also a top man helping you understand what the next step is etc. I couldn't thank you all enough. The surgeons, doctors,nurses right up to the cleaners. You all made the process so smooth sailing. I appreciate you all taking care of me.

I Had Gastric Bypass in Turkey - A Life Changing Experience!
What an amazing country and culture. Turkey truly left a mark on my heart. The Turkish people are warm, welcoming, and beautiful inside and out. I had surgery with Gayla Health and from start to finish, the experience exceeded every expectation.
Senem, Sadek, and the entire team were incredible. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, they were attentive supportive and kind.
The surgeons were outstanding, they answered all my questions and reassured me at every step.
Senem, Sadek visited daily to check that everything was on track and to deliver lovely 100% apple juice.
The nurses and cleaning staff were just as wonderful, caring, and kind.
I highly recommend Gayla Health, you are in safe, expert hands with people who genuinely care about your journey.
Thank you Gayla Health!

I received my gastric bypass at Galya Health May 2025. The support we received from arrival at the hospital was amazing. Sudeck (Translator) arrived with a smile.
Senem and her team were calm and explained each preop test and even supported me when i needed extra tests. Senem and her team at Galya health were very compassionate, kind and only a push of a button away.

Would highly recommend Senem and the team at Galya Health.

I am 4 days post op & feeling great! The process was really smooth & easy. Once I landed the transport service picked myself and my support person up. From there we were taken to hospital. Did a few pre op tests in the arvo and then some the following morning. Got the all clear from the tests and went to surgery around 11:30am. It felt really fast and my recovery was really good and fast. Senem & Sadek were the best! The cleaners and the nurses were all so lovely. 100% recommend Galya if you are needing anything done 🥰

I had gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey and Galya Health made the entire process smooth, safe, and stress-free. From the start, **Senem** was incredible—organising everything online before I even arrived. She was kind, professional, and always available to help.

Once in Turkey, I was supported by **Sadik**, the translator, who was clear, accurate, and brought much-needed humour to the process. His colleague **(also Sadik!)** was equally amazing—supportive, efficient, and genuinely caring.

The surgery itself was performed by two brilliant surgeons. The care was top-tier, and I was on a plane just four days later feeling strong and well.

Galya Health guided me through every step of this journey with professionalism and heart. I highly recommend them to anyone considering surgery abroad.
