Health Tourism in Bariatric Surgery

The aim of the study is to examine whether patients who come to our country for bariatric surgery via health tourism have any concerns during this process, and if they do, to determine the level of their concerns through psychometric tests, to determine the reasons for their concerns (is it related to travel, going to another country, hospital, surgery, etc.) and whether their concerns decrease after the surgery.
