“My Hernia is Gone and I’m Going to Lose Weight!”

“I came over in September 2023 for bariatric surgery, and I’ve never regretted it for a single minute. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done—I’m flying now! I can go out and walk 5K when two years ago, I couldn’t even walk up the stairs, cross my legs, or tie my shoelaces. It’s hard to put into words how much my life has changed.”
“Some people don’t understand that being overweight is a disability. Life is so much different now. I used to have migraines once a month, but I haven’t had one since going to Denia with Healthcare Abroad a year and a half ago.”
“I was 50 years old, and my son was 10. I thought, ‘If I want to live to see him grow up, I need to do something.’”
“I have so much more confidence now. I actually want to be in front of the camera. When you’re overweight, people judge you, and when you lose the weight, you’re taken more seriously. People I haven’t seen in years can’t believe how well I look, and it makes me want to go places and dress up. When you’re overweight, you don’t bother going anywhere—you don’t want to get dressed up.”
“The hotel in Denia felt like a family gathering. It was an amazing experience to be surrounded by Irish people who all got on together. You were never lonely. That sense of community is brilliant, especially when you’re not feeling 100% after surgery. The aftercare was great, and being so close to the hospital gave me real peace of mind.”
“I don’t even need to count calories anymore—I’m happy with how I look and how my clothes fit, and that’s all that matters!”

Read Their StoryTony says he find it even more frustrating that some people think it’s cheaper to go to Turkey. “It’s a false economy,” said Tony. “The headline price might look cheaper but the HSE doesn’t approve surgery in Turkey as it’s outside the EU and therefore you can’t get any money back from the HSE at all under the cross-border scheme.
