Bariatric Surgery Journey April | Turkey 🇹🇷

At Te Arawhai, we know this journey is about more than surgery it’s about whānau, support, dignity, and long-term wellbeing.

As we head into the new year and toward Christmas, many people reflect on their health, their future, and the life they want to step into. If you’re looking for real change not just weight loss, but a new way of living this may be your moment.

This April, we are bringing together a group of people travelling to Turkey for bariatric surgery with top surgeons who perform these procedures every day and are internationally recognised for their expertise. We have proudly partnered with Galya Health, a trusted provider known for their excellent medical care, professionalism, and patient support.

What makes this different?
We don’t just organise surgery we create a whānau environment so no one walks this path alone.

Our support services include:
• Guidance and coordination throughout the entire journey
• Travel and accommodation support
• On-ground assistance in Turkey
• Clear communication and advocacy with medical teams
• Emotional and practical support before and after surgery
• A safe, culturally grounded, whānau-centred experience

Imagine welcoming next Christmas lighter, healthier, and more confident having given yourself the gift of a new life and renewed wellbeing.

This kaupapa is about healing, empowerment, and doing this the right way surrounded by people who understand the courage it takes to choose change.

🌍 Thinking About a Gastric Sleeve? You’re Not Alone! ✈️🇹🇷

Lately in New Zealand, we’ve seen a HUGE increase in people using their KiwiSaver to fund gastric sleeve surgery. But many providers are now tightening their processes after seeing how many withdrawals are happening.

This means:
⏳ Processing times of up to 4 months
💼 Some providers adding new requirements or making it harder
💸 Pushing people toward NZ-based surgery which often costs almost double what it does overseas

We know how stressful these delays can be, especially when you’re ready to take control of your health and start your journey. That’s why we’re here to support Kiwis with safe, organised, fully escorted gastric sleeve tours to Turkey.

✨ GOOD NEWS:
We’re running another tour in April/May!
If you’re considering surgery and want an affordable, quality option without the long wait times, now is the perfect time to reach out.

💬 Comment “INFO” below or message us directly and we’ll send you all the details pricing, inclusions, dates, and how we guide you through every step or

Your journey matters. We’re here to make it smoother. ❤️🌟

🌍✨ Whānau Supporting Whānau – Our Turkey Journey ✨🌍

We’ve just returned from an incredibly moving and powerful journey to Turkey, where we had the privilege of supporting our whānau undergoing gastric sleeve surgery. 💛

This wasn’t just a medical trip it was a haerenga wairua, a spiritual and emotional journey toward healing, hauora, and self-love.

From airport send-offs to post-op care, karakia to kai, laughter to tears every moment was filled with aroha, awhi, and manaakitanga.

We are so proud of each and every one of our whānau who took this brave step. You showed courage, resilience, and deep commitment to reclaiming your well-being. 🙌🏽

To those thinking about starting their own hauora journey know you don’t have to do it alone. When we move together as whānau, healing becomes a collective experience. ❤️

- see a remarkable future (without doubt and limitations)
- create a plan to get it
- teach your mind to stop self-sabotage

The best thing?
