This week Evie and Helen dive into one of the most talked-about topics in the bariatric world: weight loss surgery abroad — with a spotlight on Turkey.

Helen shares her honest experience of travelling to Turkey for her gastric sleeve, including what went well, what she didn’t expect, and what she wouldn’t do again. Evie compares this to her own UK-based surgery and the very different aftercare that followed.

Together, they unpack:

• Why people choose surgery abroad (and what it costs)
• What surprised Helen the most
• Safety, language barriers, and post-op support
• What to always ask before booking
• Why "cheap" doesn’t always mean better — but also doesn’t always mean worse

Whether you’re considering surgery in the UK or abroad, this episode is packed with real talk, practical advice, and the kind of honest insights you won’t find on a clinic’s website.
