Tragic Scots woman who died after Turkey weight-loss op 'lit up lives' heartbroken family say
14.05.2024 - 07:37 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The family of a Scots woman who suffered an 'agonising' death during weight-loss surgery in Turkey have spoken out for the first time- hailing their 'wonderful' daughter.
Shannon Bowe, 28, from Denny, died on April 2 last year after her aorta artery was pierced twice during the gastric sleeve procedure in Istanbul.
Her mum flew to Turkey immediately after learning that there had been problems during the surgery but only managed to spend a 'few minutes' with her before she passed away.
The Record reported last year on local MP John McNally calling for an advertising ban on health tourism.
The BBC report that Shannon's family have echoed these calls in their first public statement following the tragic death.
They said: “Shannon was a wonderful individual who lit up the lives of all who knew her in her short life.
"She was so loved by her family. She was bright, witty, elegant and caring and all she wanted to do was to start a family of her own.
“We wish to express our unreserved support for the campaign which seeks to end the practice of hotels and other commercial premises hosting promotional events for cut-price surgery abroad.
“We would plead for the immediate cessation of the promotion of such events for commercial gain and to spare families the hurt, distress and emotional trauma we have suffered since Shannon’s avoidable early death."
The family added: “Shannon’s mother, a medical professional, was only allowed to see her unconscious daughter for a matter of minutes before she was locked out of the intensive care unit with no information on how matters were developing.
“Shannon died needlessly as the result of a botched procedure in Turkey in April 2023. She was but one of the victims. Please don’t let her life be in vain.”
