Surgeons in Solihull say operating on Pinky Jolley's stomach was as 'like cutting through concrete'.
A woman may be able to eat for the first time in three years after surgeons corrected a weight loss operation carried out in Turkey.
It is believed that treating Ms Jolley has cost the NHS more than £100,000 after she paid to have the private procedure abroad.In November 2022, Ms Jolley, who is disabled, paid £2,100 to have a gastric sleeve operation in Turkey. The operation involved taking away the pouch part of her stomach and leaving a sleeve which helps with weight loss.
Prof Singhal and his team from University Hospitals Birmingham agreed to attempt a by-pass operation, creating a small pouch from the top end of her stomach and attaching it to her small bowel. Ms Jolley was made aware that she could die on the operating table, but she said that she could not carry on living like this."I know that it won’t correct everything and it won’t be a cure, but I will be able to eat again. I will be able to go out with friends, to have a life," she said.
