By 2035, close to 40 per cent of the world’s adults are expected to live with obesity. According to Buşra Nur Özger, founder of Nur Ozger Health, bariatric surgery is just the first stage in a long journey, one that must be supported by ongoing care for both physical and psychological health.
Surgery may be the spark that changes lives, but Özger insists it must be followed by sustainable lifestyle adjustments, optional cosmetic procedures, and mental health guidance. Having herself faced weight challenges for more than twenty years before turning to surgery, she now channels her personal journey into helping others. Alongside her team, she has already supported over 3,500 patients.
With more than 800 million people affected worldwide, obesity is among the most pressing health challenges. Predictions for 2035 suggest 35 per cent of women and 39 per cent of men will be living with the condition. Governments and organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) are strengthening measures to tackle this issue.
Losing weight is a journey that needs all-round support
“Too often, post-bariatric care stops at the physical outcome,” says Özger. “True recovery means helping patients reclaim their confidence, transform their habits, and protect their mental health. When we plan every step with care, patients not only lose weight, they gain a new life.”
Nur Ozger Health offers tailored services that go beyond traditional medical care. Patients are accompanied by multilingual staff, accommodated in carefully selected hotels, and guided through a structured process designed to minimise stress and uncertainty. The organisation’s approach reflects a broader understanding that bariatric care requires attention to the whole person, not just the surgical outcome.
Türkiye continues to be a top destination for health travellers
Türkiye’s position as the 7th largest health tourism destination globally reinforces the context in which Özger operates. With modern hospital infrastructure, skilled medical professionals, and a growing reputation for excellence in post-bariatric surgery, the country continues to attract international patients. For many patients, their treatment experience feels more like a transformative retreat than a hospital stay.
“Through medical tourism, we provide treatment within a wider framework of care,” Özger adds. “We’re offering a complete experience that helps patients return home healthier and more confident, by drawing on the strengths of Türkiye’s healthcare sector.”
With obesity rising worldwide, Özger’s message is clear: Surgery is only the beginning, and comprehensive post-bariatric support is essential to long-term success.
