Perhaps you want to move more comfortably, take a meaningful step for your health, or feel more at ease when you look in the mirror. At the centre of your story is you, not a number or a clothing size.
From Hungary to Türkiye: a healthcare journey that values your language, expectations and follow-up after you return home.
Change does not have to mean becoming someone else. It can begin by making more room for yourself.
Climbing stairs more comfortably, taking longer walks with people you love, feeling more involved in everyday life… You decide which goals matter to you. These are personal aspirations; everyone’s recovery and outcomes are different.
Your weight and appearance do not define your worth. Whether or not you choose treatment, you deserve to be heard with respect and given clear information.
For suitable patients, gastric bypass can support substantial weight loss and improve the control of obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Some people experience type 2 diabetes remission; this is not a guaranteed permanent cure. Diabetes can return and ongoing monitoring is needed.
Medication needs may decrease, but diabetes and blood pressure medicines should only be changed by your treating doctor. Surgery is not suitable for everyone; benefits and risks must be assessed alongside your medical history.
Weight loss can change your body size and appearance. Some people feel more comfortable and confident; aesthetic satisfaction and emotional wellbeing cannot be guaranteed. Loose skin can also occur after rapid or substantial weight loss.
Further cosmetic procedures are not automatically necessary. If you are interested, discuss options separately with your doctor after your weight has stabilised and recovery has been assessed. Seeking psychological support is also a way of caring for yourself.
This journey is about more than the day of surgery. Nutrition, suitable physical activity, prescribed vitamin and mineral supplements, and regular reviews are part of long-term care. Surgery carries risks including bleeding, leaks, blood clots and nutritional deficiencies; weight regain is also possible.
You may not feel the same every day. Questions, doubts and small steps forward can all be part of the process. You do not have to be perfect: ask for support when needed and keep working with your healthcare team on a plan that suits you.
Dunamedi’s approach to international health tourism aims to make each step understandable: from the first conversation and travel planning to hospital care and follow-up at home. Explore the process through our Turkish, Hungarian and English pages.
The scope of one-year consultations, appointment frequency, contact hours and fees for additional services must be confirmed in your individual written plan. Ask your questions before travelling and make your decision at your own pace, without pressure.
Prepare to share your expectations and medical history. A doctor’s assessment can help you understand which options may be suitable for you.
