I was on mid-July 2025 tour with Ariaana assisted journeys. The experience provided was organised, persomal, and genuienly life-changing for bariatric sleeve. From pre-departure support in New Zealand through to surgery and recovery in Turkeyi, the service was consistenly described as smooth, safe, and well supported.
Pre surgery preparation
Prior to tour there was clear communication about what to expect, incluidng timelines, packing, and medical requirements etc.
Arrianna, the founder, is hands-on, sharing her own surgery and recovery journey, which helps reduce anxiety and build trust before you even leave home.
Travel and logistics
Every single detail is coordinated for you, so you are never left to navigate a foregien system alone. The approach makes the entire journey low-stress and allowed me to focus on my health rather than logistics and possible unknowns
Hospital,surgery, and care
The hospital in turkey is excellent with attentive, experienced and medical teams, national and internationally recognised and certified with transparent processes. There are translators when needed, as well as clarification from Arrianna’s team where needed, and coordinated post-op monitoring, which builds a sense of safety during a major operation far from home.
Recovery and support after surgery
The recovery is guided including help with medications, diet, and advice, along with checks that everyone is coping emotionally as well as physically.
We felt well enough to do light sightseeing once cleared. Turning what could be an isolating recovery into a shared, encouraging experience.
Looking back from the July tour, Arriaanas assisted journeys gets and deserves consistently high praise’ life changing.’ 10/10, and ‘seamless’.
AAJ provides A truly remarkable service that i would choose again, despite the challenges, and that is the feeling this journey leaves behind. For anyone considering bariatric sleeve surgery and longing to feel safe, understood, and fully supported. Arriaanas assisted journeys stands out as a powerful and memorable way to change not just a body, but a life.
