Warnings against ‘reckless’ weight loss surgery abroad – BBC News

Seven British patients who travelled to Turkey for weight loss surgery died after operations there, a BBC investigation has found.

Others have returned home with serious health issues after having had gastric sleeve operations, during which more than 70% of the stomach is removed.

While the procedures are carried out in the UK, some people are looking abroad for treatment due to lengthy NHS waiting times.
