Sono ancora nauseato, ho fastidi e vomito regolarmente (alcune volte a settimana). Tuttavia, ho già perso molto peso, quasi 9 kg, che non avrei mai perso senza il palloncino. Quello che non ti dicono è che sembrerai gonfio, al punto che sembra che io sia incinta. La mia esperienza immediatamente dopo l'inserimento del palloncino è stata estremamente negativa. Mi era stato detto che questa era una procedura semplice per la quale non hai bisogno di nessuno con te. Questo è falso, hai BISOGNO di qualcuno con te. Dopo la procedura ti sembrerà di star morendo, non sarai in grado di trattenere nulla, nemmeno l'acqua, e la rigetterai immediatamente. Sono tornato in ospedale e mi sono fatto ricoverare per un giorno e ho pagato per essere attaccato a delle flebo. È stata una spesa considerevole, ho pagato quasi 800 dollari canadesi per una notte in ospedale, ma era necessario poiché ero estremamente disidratato. Mi è stato detto che questo era normale (è normale), tuttavia il medico e il traduttore mi hanno fatto sentire come se stessi esagerando volendo rimanere in ospedale. Durante il mio soggiorno ho scoperto che anche altri pazienti con il palloncino si erano fatti ricoverare. Avrei voluto che fossero un po' più onesti e avessero avvisato i pazienti che alcune persone non gestiscono bene i primi giorni e che alcuni rimangono in ospedale per la notte. Detto ciò, il personale ospedaliero è stato molto gentile e attento. Se stai per sottoporsi a questo intervento con il palloncino, porta con te qualcuno che possa prendersi cura di te per i pochi giorni successivi alla procedura o preparati a pagare per un soggiorno in ospedale. \n\nInfine, NON prenotare il volo per il giorno successivo come ti hanno consigliato. Non ti sentirai abbastanza bene per volare. A me ci sono voluti 4 giorni dopo la procedura per sentirmi sufficientemente bene per volare. Soprattutto se vieni da un luogo lontano come il Canada o l'America. \n\nConsiglierei questa clinica/ospedale rispetto ad altre semplicemente perché è un ospedale, quindi se devi passare la notte mi sento che è più sicuro qui.","en":"I am now a little over one month out. I am still nauseous and have discomfort and I vomit regularly (a few times a week). I have however lost a lot of weight already almost 20 pounds, I would have ever lost this weight without the balloon. Things they don't tell you is that you will look bloated, to the point that it looks like I'm pregnant. My experience immediately after the insertion of the balloon were extremely bad. I was told this was an easy procedure that you don't need anyone with you. This is false you NEED someone with you. After the procedure you will feel like you are dying, you will not be able to hold anything even water down and will immediately throw it back out. I went back to the hospital and checked myself in for a day and paid to have myself hooked up with IVs. This was pricey I paid almost $800 Canadian for one night at the hospital, but it was necessary as I was extremely dehydrated. I was told that this was normal (it is normal) however the doctor and translator made me feel like I was overreacting by wanting to stay at the hospital. During my stay at the hospital I found out other patients with the balloon also checked themselves in. I wish they were a bit more honest, and advised patients that some people do not handle the first few days well and that some stay at the hospital over night. This being said the hospital staff were very kind and attentive. If you are going to get this Balloon done then either take someone with you so that they can take care of your for the few days after the procedure or prepare to pay for a hospital stay. \n\nLastly DO NOT book your flight the next day like they advised. You will not feel well enough to fly. It took me 4 days after the procedure to feel ok enough to fly. Especially if you are coming from somewhere far like Canada or America. \n\nI would recommend this clinic/hospital over other simply because it is a hospital so if you do need to stay the night I feel like it is safer here."},"order":{"operation":{"id":380,"name":{"it":"Palloncino gastrico","en":"Gastric balloon"}}},"clinic_info":{"id":426,"name":"Hisar Hospital Intercontinental","alias":"hisar-intercontinental-hospital","flags":[{"name":"is_hide","value":false},{"name":"has_active_agencies","value":true}]},"created_at":"2023-03-25T05:09:40.989+00:00","flags":[{"name":"would_recommend","value":true},{"name":"is_anonymously","value":true},{"name":"has_client_feedback","value":true},{"name":"is_approved","value":true},{"name":"is_notification_sent","value":false},{"name":"deactivated_clinic","value":false}],"comment_about_bookimed":{"it":"molto reattivi quando stavano vendendo, ma quando ho avuto bisogno di aiuto nel paese c'è stato un ritardo significativo","en":"very responsive when they were selling but when I needed help in the country there was a significant delay"},"summary":{"positive":{"it":"Raccomanderei questa clinica/ospedale rispetto ad altre semplicemente perché è un ospedale, quindi se doveste trascorrervi la notte, ritengo che sia più sicuro qui.","en":"I would recommend this clinic/hospital over other simply because it is a hospital so if you do need to stay the night I feel like it is safer here."}}},{"id":9660,"user":{"id":395539,"name":"Martha ","country_code":"GB","country_name":{"it":"Regno Unito","en":"United Kingdom"}},"ratings":[{"name":"main","value":4},{"name":"comfort","value":4},{"name":"coordination","value":4},{"name":"doctor","value":4},{"name":"manager","value":4},{"name":"personal","value":4},{"name":"translation","value":4},{"name":"relative_price","value":3}],"text":{"it":"Il servizio è stato davvero eccellente!

Fino al momento in cui ho prenotato il volo, la comunicazione da Bookimed è stata perfetta, ma subito dopo aver inviato loro la conferma della mia prenotazione, non ho più sentito nessuno. Così, il giorno della partenza, non avevo ancora la conferma dell'hotel, del trasferimento, ecc. e ho dovuto continuare a sollecitare le informazioni. Ovviamente, non è stato un buon inizio per qualcuno che sta lasciando la propria casa per una procedura medica all'estero!\n\nQuando sono arrivato all'aeroporto di Istanbul intorno alle 5 del mattino, ho dovuto aspettare ben 40 minuti per il trasferimento, pur avendo inviato tutte le informazioni sul volo e mi era stato detto che l'autista sarebbe stato lì ad aspettarmi. Errato.\n\nLa camera d'albergo era accettabile - niente sapone, shampoo o telefono funzionante (il che non è stato affatto buono, dato che non ho potuto chiamare per assistenza durante tutto il soggiorno). Inizialmente mi è stata data una camera doppia, nonostante fossi da solo, quindi ho dovuto chiedere di cambiarla con una camera matrimoniale. Il receptionist era titubante, ma l'ha fatto dopo che ho insistito.\n\nIl giorno della procedura è stato davvero caotico! Sono arrivato in ospedale e non ero sicuro di dove andare, perché non mi erano state date istruzioni su cosa aspettarmi, cosa fare o non fare... assolutamente nulla! Poi, una volta trovato qualcuno che mi accogliesse, tutto è stato molto frettoloso! Diverse persone sono passate, non sapevo chi fossero poiché non si sono davvero presentate... per farmi firmare vari documenti, uno dei quali era un consenso per sottopormi a un'anestesia generale, cosa di cui non avevo alcuna idea poiché nessuno l'aveva mai menzionata!\n\nQuello è stato il mio primo shock poiché avevo viaggiato all'estero senza sapere che sarei stato sotto sedazione durante la procedura. Non mi ero preparato mentalmente a questo e mi ha davvero infastidito il fatto che non fossi stato avvisato in anticipo, dato che ciò comporta dei rischi propri.\n\nComunque, il peggio è venuto dopo, una volta completata la procedura: mi sentivo davvero debole, con un dolore intenso (allo stomaco) e estremamente nauseato. Di nuovo, non riuscivo a capire perché stessi così male poiché non ero stato avvisato né mi erano state fornite informazioni al riguardo. Così, è stata tutta una spiacevole sorpresa. Il personale infermieristico era gentile, ma non parlava inglese. \nMi sentivo spinto fuori dalla mia stanza poiché mi hanno chiaramente fatto capire che era ora di andare, facendo gesti e lasciando la porta aperta! Ma non ero ancora in condizione di andare via, dato che non stavo bene!\n\nLa nutrizionista è venuta molto in fretta e ha spiegato le informazioni in modo sbrigativo. Se n'è andata senza nemmeno lasciarmi i suoi recapiti nel caso avessi avuto domande o bisogno di ulteriori cure.\n\nPoi è arrivato un altro uomo per darmi i medicinali da portare con me, che ho dovuto pagare, di nuovo, non aspettandomelo poiché pensavo fosse tutto incluso, e mi è stato detto ancora di andare.\n\nHo chiesto se qualcuno mi avrebbe incontrato per esaminare le cose finali - mi è stato risposto di no. Wow. Non potevo crederci. È stato proprio come: ci siamo presi i tuoi soldi, hai il tuo palloncino - andiamo! Ciao!\n\nEro solo sconvolto, arrabbiato e davvero spaventato, in realtà, perché mi sentivo davvero male e non c'era nessuno lì ad assistermi.\n\nPer concludere, sono tornato da solo all'hotel con molta difficoltà. Sono salito in camera mia, senza telefono funzionante, e ci sono rimasto per il resto di quel giorno e per quello successivo vomitando e con crampi allo stomaco, da solo.\n\nNon ho sentito una sola volta dall'equipe medica/ospedale o da nessuno se non dal team di prenotazione di Bookimed per lasciare la mia recensione, quindi eccomi qui a lasciare la mia recensione.\n\nDi solito non scrivo recensioni perché richiedono molto tempo... ma in questo caso ho davvero sentito di doverlo fare a causa della mia pessima esperienza e per avvisare le persone delle potenziali conseguenze. Forse sono stato solo sfortunato... ma per favore pensaci due volte prima di consegnare i tuoi soldi a queste persone e vai lì solo se non hai davvero altra alternativa!\n\nIl mio dolore è diminuito leggermente, ma è ancora presente quasi due settimane dopo l'inserimento del palloncino. e il vomito anche, quindi dovrò andare al pronto soccorso nel fine settimana per farmi controllare adeguatamente poiché non ho nessun team medico che mi consigli o fornisca alcuna forma di assistenza post-operatoria. Sono davvero spaventato.\n\nRaccomanderei Bookimed/Hisar Hospital? Assolutamente, al 100%, No!","en":"I departed for my procedure on Friday night to have it done on Saturday morning 20th January. Up until the moment I booked my flight - the communication from Bookimed was on point, but straight after I sent them my booking confirmation, I didn't hear anything from anyone. So on the day of departing, I still had no confirmation for the hotel, transfer, etc. and had to keep chasing for the information. Not a good start obviously, for someone who is leaving their home for a medical procedure abroad!\r\n\r\nWhen I arrived in Istanbul airport around 5 am - I had to wait a good 40 minutes for my transfer, although sending all my flight information and being told that the driver was going to be there waiting for me. Incorrect.\r\n\r\nThe hotel room was ok- no soap, shampoo or working phone, (which was not good at all, as I couldn't ring for any assistance after during my whole stay). Initially I was given a twin room, although being on my own so had to ask to change it to a double bedded room. The receptionist was hesitant, but then did it after I insisted. \r\n\r\nOn the day of the procedure- it was really messy! I got to the hospital and wasn't sure where to go, because no instructions were given to me beforehand of what to expect, dos and don'ts... absolutely nothing! Then once they got someone to meet me, everything was all very rushed! Different individuals came by, which I did know who they were as they didn't really introduce themselves... to make me sign for different things, one of them being a disclosure for going through a general anesthetics, which I had no idea was going to take place as no one had ever mentioned! \r\n\r\nThat was my first shock as I had travelled abroad, not knowing I would have been under sedation during the procedure. I didn't prepare myself mentally for that and was really annoyed I was not warned in advance, as that in itself carries its own risks.\r\n\r\nAnyway, the worst came afterwards, once the procedure had been done- I felt really weak, in severe pain (in my stomach) and extremely nauseous. Again, I couldn't understand why I was in so much pain as I was not warned nor given any information beforehand. So all an unpleasant surprise. The nursing staff were nice, but couldn't' speak English. \r\nI felt rushed out of my room as they made it clear it was time for me to go, by making signs and leaving the door open! But I was in no condition to go yet, as I wasn't well! \r\n\r\nThe nutritionist came really quickly and rushed the information to me. She left without even leaving her contact details should I have any questions or for any aftercare.\r\n\r\nThen another guy came along to to give me the medication to take with me, which I had to pay for , again not expecting it as I thought all was included, I was told again to go.\r\n\r\nI asked if anyone was meeting me to go over the final things- he said no. Wow. I could not believe it. It was just like: okay, we have your money now, you've got your balloon- off you go! Ciao! \r\n\r\nI was just appalled, upset and really scared actually, because I felt really unwell and there was no one there to assist.\r\n\r\nTo conclude, I walked back to the hotel alone with a lot of struggle. Went up to my room, with no working phone and stayed there for the rest of that day and the following day vomiting and with cramps in my stomach, alone. \r\n\r\nI have not once heard from the medical team/ hospital once or anyone other than the Bookimed booking team to leave my review, so here I am leaving my review.\r\n\r\nI don't normally write reviews at all as they are so time consuming... but on this instance I really felt I ought to on this occasion due to my awful experience and to warn people of the potential consequences. Maybe, I was just unlucky... but please think about it twice before giving your money away to these people and only go there if you really have no other alternative! \r\n\r\nMy pain has subsided slightly, but the pain is still present almost two weeks after having the balloon inserted. and the vomiting also, so I will need to go to A&E over the weekend to get myself checked out properly as I have no medical team advising me or providing any form of after care. I am really scared.\r\n\r\nWould I recommend Bookimed/ Hisar Hospital ?
