A MOTHER has revealed that she jetted abroad to Turkey and went under the knife in a bid to totally transform her appearance.
Jade, a brunette beauty from the UK, had a gastric sleeve two years ago in Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey.
Prior to her weight loss, Jade felt “very unhappy” with her figure.
But after the surgery, which on average costs anywhere between £2,500 and £4,500 in Turkey, Jade has now dropped a whopping nine stone.
Eager to show off her epic glow up, Jade took to social media and shared snaps of her weight loss journey.
Jade uploaded images of her at her heaviest, followed by a range of gorgeous pictures at her slimmest, leaving many totally stunned.

Alongside her short video, the savvy mum wrote: “My weight loss journey! I’ll still never get over it.”
She also penned: “Hoped when the moment comes you’d say…I did it all.”
Jade confirmed that after going under the knife, she got the “boost” she needed and then began counting calories.
Not only this, but she also increased her focus on exercise too.
Jade has not any loose skin removed, but has put in “a lot of hard work in the gym.”
And it’s clear to see that it has paid off, as she beamed: “I’ve lost nine stone. I’ve never felt happier or healthier.”
Now, Jade “doesn’t even recognise” herself before surgery and is “so happy” with her new look.

She recognised that it has “definitely been a journey” and when it comes to Jade’s future surgery plans, she expressed: “I would like a tummy tuck and breast uplift but I can live without them.”
Social media users react
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @jadeybabyboo1984, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 189,400 views.
Not only this, but it’s also amassed a whopping 10,600 likes, 379 comments and 549 shares.
What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT’S important to do your research if you’re thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.
