Hello & Talofa to you all 🙂

My name is Saupo Vili from Perth Western Australia.

I was on the September 2025 tour. I went with my sister Niu T Scanlan as my support person.

I found Arriana through a good friend of mine Marina Davis.She recommended AAJ.so I contacted Arriana straight away.

I am so grateful for Arianna Assist Journey for everything from Australia to Turkey and back it was no hassle.Everything went perfectly fine.

Thank you Arrianna Saifoloi Mathieson & the Team with their love & support from day 1 till we left Istanbul, and we met different people from here and there lol, and it made us like a family there in Istanbul. I was so so BLESSED 🙌

Before I finalized my decision to go for my gastric sleeve, I was nervous and doubted when my husband had 2nd thoughts of me going to a Country(Turkey) that none of us have been before lol

I prayed 🙏 and ask God if this is for me let me go.

My Faith was strong knowing it will made myself a healthier person that it will help me with my arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes and also I had sciatica- which was worse because of my weight.

I was 145kg and now down to 123kg for 3months after op.Praise God for His healing and very proud of myself of the decision I made.

I have encouraged my love ones who are thinking of doing gastric sleeve and highly recommended AAJ team due to my experience.

Whoever is willingly to do sleeve but still doubt, I was that person but I have no regret at all.

Only regret wish I did it earlier in my 30s 🙂

May God Bless you all especially to Arriana & the Team 🙏🙏
