Mum-of-two Emma Morrissey paid £2,800 for the trip to Turkey but died two days later.
A man whose fiancée died two days after she had botched weight loss surgery in Turkey has told of his devastation over her death. Emma Morrissey, 44, and her partner Jon Burt had decided to look into gastric operations after she became increasingly depressed at yo-yoing between a size 12 and 22.
"All I can say is, ‘Do your research’ – but I have to accept that Emma and I did our research and she still died. That is something I have to live with.” Jon was then forced to watch on helplessly as Emma went into a series of cardiac arrests brought on by blood loss. The IT consultant said: “I knew something was wrong when I saw the look on the surgeon’s face.
Jon continued: “People think this is cosmetic surgery, but it isn’t. If you cannot afford the high fees over here and the NHS will not carry out the operation, what else are you supposed to do?”
