Has the news that a young British woman has died after flying to Turkey for a gastric band not put you off?

There was also a medical segment on a radio show recently and the medical expert on there advised anyone against going to Turkey for such a procedure, even before this latest news. It’s not worth cost cutting with your health. It’s a long way from home if you have any post operative complications!

I recently had a gastric by pass on the NHS. The wait was 3 ½ years. Well worth it for the knowledge that I was in safe hands and on home ground.
