Hello, I forgot to comment here. I wasn't this overweight before. I've never been over 60.65 in my life. I suddenly gained weight and couldn't lose it with exercise and diet. It could be thyroid problems, a slow metabolism, a fatty liver, and many other things, including heart problems. But I came across Gökmen. I did a lot of research. I had surgery on February 18th and am in my sixth month. I went and saw him, got all the tests, and had the surgery a few days later. My friend also had the surgery. I highly recommend him. He's a wonderful doctor, successful in his field. I'm so glad I found him. I'm so glad I had the surgery. I'd like to thank him, Buse, and his team. I'd also like to thank Doğa and Doğuş. Our process is ongoing. Read my comment, don't be afraid with Adla. Courage is your greatest asset; change is your future. Greetings to Gökmen.
Sincerely.

I am so glad that my path crossed with Mr. Gökmen. 4 months ago, my wife and I had surgery 6 days ago. I had a lot of fears before the surgery. 6 days may be a very short time, but I am so glad that I had it. I feel so much lighter now. Thank you very much to Mr. Gökmen.

I came from Germany, I chose Gökmen Hoca to lose weight and have the healthiest and best surgery. All my check-ups before and after the surgery were completed flawlessly. Before the surgery, I had the opportunity to ask Gökmen Hoca all the questions on my mind and he answered them one by one so that I would not have any '?' in my mind. I had no pain after the surgery, the whole process went very well. I am very pleased with my dietician, my doctor and the hospital.

I didn't know Dr. Gökmen very well. A close friend of mine had surgery. I went to the preliminary meeting upon recommendation. The preliminary meeting is free. By the way, there was a team that welcomed me. First they asked me questions. Then the dietician took my measurements. I asked all my questions to Dr. Gökmen. I started the tests directly. I had no doubts because of his interest and concern. I am currently in my first month. I continue to lose weight. I have no pain or discomfort. Everything is going very well. If I had it again, I would have surgery at the same doctor again. I recommend my doctor to everyone who complains about their weight 🙏❤️
