Sara Platt had an operation in Turkey in 2021 to reduce the size of her stomach.
She lost 12 stone but was left with excess skin that she said rubbed together, causing sores and an unpleasant smell.
The 33-year-old spent a year researching her options and visited a Turkish clinic before choosing which company to go with.
In February 2023, Sara flew over to have the skin removed as well as a breast lift and implants.
But as soon as she woke up from the procedure, she felt something was wrong.
