EXCLUSIVE: Pinky Jolley flew to Turkey to have a gastric sleeve procedure. Sadly, she contracted sepsis and found to her horror that her stomach had been twisted during the surgery
After embarking on various weight-loss journeys, including NHS weight management, Pinky Jolley knew that something needed to change. At 17st 11lb and a dress size 24, doctors gave her a stark warning. If she didn’t shed the pounds, her life would be at risk. Following nine long months of research, the 46-year-old decided to take serious action. In November 2022, she headed to Istanbul, Turkey, for a gastric sleeve procedure – but the two-hour operation turned her life upside down.
But while her experience may be shocking, Pinky isn’t alone. According to statistics, the number of visitors going to Turkey solely for surgery has skyrocketed from 701,000 to 1.8m in just four years, with 63% of people surveyed saying they do so because of the bargain prices. However, Love Island ’s Anna Vakili and her sister Mandi had negative experiences of a BBL in which Anna admitted she was “convinced I was going to die”. And Ex On The Beach’s Chloe Goodman had a botched vaser liposuction procedure abroad, which she said she’ll regret for the rest of her life.
“They also saw a twist in my stomach because they’d cut it so poorly. It carried on twisting, and it had practically closed up, so nothing was going down anyway. So, I had a nasojejunal feeding tube inserted.” “It really does stress my husband Paul seeing me in so much pain and just the shocking things I’ve been through – and he’s a qualified nurse. But I’m lucky to have him, he’s my full-time carer and he’s brilliant.”
He adds, “There is a plethora of first-class surgeons abroad who will do an excellent job. But that isn’t the point. It is about the recovery period, which is far more comfortable at home, where follow-up appointments can be made. Complications can occur with any surgery, it doesn’t matter who you are, and the issue is how to manage them if they do occur. If you are abroad, they cannot be managed properly.
