A doctor who performed weight loss surgery in Turkey on a young woman who then died has denied any wrongdoing.Tragic Morgan Ribeir was just 20-years-old when she flew abroad, using her trust fund to pay for gastric sleeve surgery in Istanbul.
However, on the flight home, Morgan collapsed. She was taken to hospital but sadly died. The Mirror tracked down Dr Serkan Bayil, who denied botching the operation on Morgan, and insisted he did nothing wrong.
Her heartbroken mum Erin Gibson has hit out at the dangerous industry and wants a cosmetic tourism ban. She said: “It must stop.”Dr Bayil addressed concerns, saying that her death had nothing to do with the operation and claimed she died due to an embolism on the plane.
But his assessment angered Morgan’s grieving mum, who said surgeons had told her that her small intestine had been cut.Gastric sleeve surgery involves the insertion of a silicone band which pinches the stomach so people feel fuller sooner.
