An overweight woman who was bullied for years about her size has died after botched weight loss surgery in Turkey.
Morgan Ribeiro became unwell as she flew home following her op with her partner Jamie Brewster. The 20-year-old's small intestine had been accidently cut during the gastric sleeve operation which she had paid £2500 for. Tragically Morgan passed away on January 13. Mum Erin Gibson, 44, said: “I never ever want this to happen to another daughter.”
It's believed self-conscious Morgan flew overseas for the weight loss op in the hope of putting an end to the years of bullying she's faced, reports the Mirror. Posting on social media days before having her gastric sleeve operation, she posted a heartbreaking message. She said: “My last post before weight-loss surgery – see you on the other side.”
After the operation on January 5 she fell ill with septic shock on the plane home and the flight had to be diverted to Belgrade in Serbia, where she died on January 13.
Her mum Erin Gibson, 44, had no idea 20-year-old Morgan was going to Turkey for surgery. She said: “By the time I found out it was too late, she was already on the plane. I had that sinking feeling because I’d heard horror stories about Turkey. She’s always been a bigger girl and had a really rough time with it.
“I told her she was beautiful inside and out – she really was a beautiful girl. She was an artist, outgoing, silly, friendly and loving. I don’t want her life to be in vain.”
