A MAN whose fiancée sought out the "best doctors in Turkey" for her weight-loss surgery has told of his devastation over her death.
Jon Burt said he and Emma Morrissey, 44, jointly decided to look into gastric operations after she became increasingly depressed at yo-yoing between a size 12 and 22.
Following hours of online research, they eventually opted for Regenesis Health Travel, which boasts "quality healthcare at affordable costs".
But, tragically, Emma died two days after a surgeon accidentally punctured her abdomen during surgery to fit a gastric sleeve.
QUESTIONS
Of their choice to go with Regenesis, Jon, 48, said: "I think about that decision all the time.
"I know people will continue to go abroad for treatment because it is more affordable and nothing is going to change that.
"All I can say is, 'Do your research' but I have to accept that Emma and I did our research and she still died. That is something I have to live with.
Earlier this month, Regenesis was criticised by a coroner after it emerged it had not checked Emma was fit to have surgery.
