Today is the 2 year anniversary of me getting weight loss surgery in Istanbul from a hospital i only ever talked to on whatsapp because a tiktok influencer i met in rome said she could get me a discount. I wired them $500 for a deposit. Paid $3000 total. Was booked within 2 weeks notice. Price included procedure, a week of care, and 2 weeks of drugs/aftercare. Was quoted $13k for procedure alone in the US. I was in a group with 8 moms from London. We’re all fb friends still.
