I FLEW TO TURKEY TO GET WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY | GASTRIC SLEEVE/VSG !!!
I've been struggling for a VERY long time with my weight and chronic back pain (alongside a few other health issues) so, I decided after months of research, to bite the bullet and get weight loss surgery done in Turkey. I know that this will be a permanent lifestyle change and I will no longer be able to eat like I did before but I'm ready and excited to share my journey .. both good and bad! I hope you can all be supportive and enjoy the new videos coming up on my channel! You'll see different aspects of my life: Uni, Nursing, Weight loss, travel and food!

Cheers to you girl. I'm truly so happy for you especially since I'm about the same weight (overweight all my life) and can so relate to how you feel. Luckily you can afford the surgery, I encourage anyone who can to go for it as most of us would too. Side- and before anyone comes at me, some folks can't, literally can't afford a good diet/exercise regime let alone surgery/tool to help the process. Anyhows, Much love and blessings from the Caribbean. Speedy recovery, can't wait to see the progress.🖤

Hi guys I'm in the research stage of my process. Anyone know where I can do an unbiased check on a doctor in Turkey. I'll leave his name here incase anyone know anything of him. Dr. Mani Habibi at Antalya Anatolian hospital. I've done Google, and a couple of sites to check but I don't know if there's more I can do to verify if I'm trusting the right doctor. Any info will help. Oh and he's charging €2000 is that necessarily a red flag.

Hey, I’ve tried for many years.. it was really challenging and with my back pain, it was also quite hard! I was able to lose weight but a lot of the time, I would be in too much pain to work out which lead to depression and more weight gain. This was a cycle for over 5 years. I also even had a breast reduction a few years ago but it didn’t help, unfortunately. Hard to understand if you haven’t experienced it. Hopefully now, things will be better!
