  1. Mini Gastric Bypass - Turkey - Recommendations/experiences good or bad?

    Klaire posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
    Hi all im looking for advise, recommendations and experiences of having weightloss surgery abroad. ive had a gastric band for 15 years now. ive never really worked well with the band (totally my fault, not getting head in right place) but im older, wiser and heavier now than i have ever been in my life. I saw a consultant who suggested a gastric bypass, however the costs look to be upwards of £13,500. ive seen posts on social media about vastly cheaper operations in Turkey. Has anyone experienced this type of surgery abroad? is it too good to be true? im happy to hear warts and all stories. i just need to be so sure before i take the plunge. Many thanks all
