Turkey has no follow up care, may not be of concern within first year but majority need additional surgeries which will result in bills adding up to what it would cost to have it done initially in Irealnd.

4 year waiting list in Ireland, patient also needs to show ability to lose a certain amount of weight (usually anout 10%) before surgeon will consider surgery.

Still no guarantees of improvement of mental health post surgery due to severe dietary restrictions.

Should enquire with GP regarding weight loss drugs and other co-morbidities before considering surgery (diabetes is a common issue).

Patient would also need to be 35+ BMI for surgery.
