Tragic Death of Welsh Woman Following Weight-Loss Surgery in Turkey
Janet Lynne Savage, a driving examiner from Bangor, Gwynedd, tragically died following a gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey. The inquest revealed that a complication occurred during the procedure, causing damage to her aorta and leading to cardiac arrest. Despite emergency intervention in the intensive care unit, she passed away on August 6, 2023. Savage had sought the surgery through Regenesis Health Travel after concerns about her weight, despite having a BMI at the lower end of the obesity range. The coroner recorded a narrative conclusion attributing her death to acute blood loss during the operation.
