Absolutely, they are a game changer
Absolutely, they are a game changerVac dressings are amazing and you can see such a change when they work well but that wound must be such an exudating cavity to warant that.
That beeping though when the seals gone though.
It shows you that you can get anything done in Turkey if you have the cash and are daft enough. Nobody over here would have done such a huge op like that in one go.
Desperately stupid and deluded that you can just get your stomach cut off because you can't be arsed putting the effort into diet and exercise. Absolute moron she is.Absolutely, they are a game changerbut you’re so right, she must have been absolutely desperate to have flown over there and to have put her body through that, the risks are unimaginable
I thought the same - for medical/health reasons. She would have probably been told to lose lots more weight before NHS would do this op though.Surely if the surgery was done because she needed it “medically & physically” then it would have been granted on the NHS not her having to pay privately in bloody Turkey, almost kill herself in the process and then cost the NHS additional costs to fix the problems that arose; I know first hand how much VAC dressings and specialist tissue viability input costs and that’s just scratching the surface!
very difficult to tell re the face though as she uses filters. I remember what a different shape her face was when she appeared on the singing programme v what she looked like on IG. I do wonder what she looks like IRLTbf seeing this I actually think she has lost weight. Her face and legs are much slimmer. Maybe the tummy just wouldn't budge. There is quite a difference in that photo to her now. Her face and arms have been looking thin for a long time
She had the surgery around January, if you look at her January Instagram posts she still looks huge then.Tbf seeing this I actually think she has lost weight. Her face and legs are much slimmer.

No, the NHS would not prioritise her type of surgery, but it would not have been pleasant for her carrying that weight on her belly. Also no matter how clean a person is they can get infections and various other issues. I think the surgery itself can really be great, but you need to be serious about recovery and if you did go to Turkey then stay for a few weeks to recover.Surely if the surgery was done because she needed it “medically & physically” then it would have been granted on the NHS not her having to pay privately in bloody Turkey, almost kill herself in the process and then cost the NHS additional costs to fix the problems that arose; I know first hand how much VAC dressings and specialist tissue viability input costs and that’s just scratching the surface!
I think you’ve simplified it a little too much, plenty of people have similar surgery.Desperately stupid and deluded that you can just get your stomach cut off because you can't be arsed putting the effort into diet and exercise. Absolute moron she is.
Doesn't make it right because plenty of people do it. It's a stupid, reckless idea regardless of how many morons think oh I'll do that.I think you’ve simplified it a little too much, plenty of people have similar surgery.
Touching on the last part , I worked in that element of the nhs and the nhs does work with patients who have complications after WLS or WLS related surgeryI think the surgery in Turkey is generally of a high standard but the aftercare can sometimes be lacking and obviously people want to fly home as quickly as possible afterwards because of cost/ have to go back to work. Probably they should not be flying at all and it’s not like you can pop back to the doctors for them to check on you etc.
This has been discussed a little bit here before but the NHS does not provide free aftercare for elective/cosmetic surgery performed overseas and you’re supposed to make your own arrangements. I’m sure most people don’t bother, including poverty-stricken Laura.
Lots of surgery would be thought off as stupid, but eventually they make sense. Once her body heals she will be more mobile and able to exercise to get healthy.Doesn't make it right because plenty of people do it. It's a stupid, reckless idea regardless of how many morons think oh I'll do that.
Yes, I’ve had a friend who had huge complications and the NHS took care of her. It was private surgery in the UK but only choice she had as they don’t provide any WLS on NHS there.Touching on the last part , I worked in that element of the nhs and the nhs does work with patients who have complications after WLS or WLS related surgery
It may be things like correcting surgery that has been botched or doing inappropriate surgery that even the nhs won’t do , feeding tubes due to losing too much weight
I thought that in the UK your BMI would need to be under a certain amount, say 28?I think you’ve simplified it a little too much, plenty of people have similar surgery.
that’s good to know, it must have changed since I looked into weightloss surgery overseas and was told by the GP that whilst they would cover me in an emergency (of course) that would be it. Happy that’s not the case any more.Touching on the last part , I worked in that element of the nhs and the nhs does work with patients who have complications after WLS or WLS related surgery

If it’s done privately then they set the BMI, but I’ve seen it more in America. The risks are obvious with more weight but you are warned of all that. I don’t think I’d be going to Turkey for it unless I could stay a month or so to recover. Look up Dr Repta, he has helped so many women with this operation.I thought that in the UK your BMI would need to be under a certain amount, say 28?
Or is this a newish surgery that I’m not aware of?
Her BMI would have been way way over 40. I think she's 5ft 5...at that height even 20 stone is a BMI of 47 and I think that would be a low estimate of how heavy she was.I feel like Laura is one of these people. I had to have a BMI of under 28 to get my tummy tuck for safety reasons and had it done in the UK because ultimately I feel like my life is worth more than a £5k saving - surely her BMI must be heading towards 40 if not more? Red flags for anyone taking her on as a patient.
