A man whose fiancee died after weight-loss surgery in Turkey has warned about the risks of medical tourism.
Jon Burt said Emma Morrissey, 44, had always struggled with her weight but did not meet the criteria to have bariatric surgery on the NHS. She travelled to Termessos hospital in Antalya for a gastric sleeve operation, which is about four times more expensive in the UK.
