The Trust has said people travelling abroad for surgery should be aware 'their surgery may not be delivered by medical staff with the same level of training'
The Belfast Trust has said that it has seen a "steady increase" in patients presenting themselves with serious complications following weight loss surgery.
Belfast Live have spoken to a number of people who have returned from Turkey with "life changing" issues as a result of the surgery they have received there. One woman said her life had been changed forever after her stomach was "separated into three blobs" following a gastric sleeve operation, while another contracted infections as a result of a surgical swab being left inside her body.
This increases the risks of potentially life changing complications arising following these procedures.
