So I booked it again this time with Dr. Turkin in Slovakia.
Dr. Turkin did his workin!
I only booked it a month in advance. I freaked out and gained weight before the surgery, my partner said that's subconscious self sabotagement going on, because I actually wanted to lose weight first, but did the opposite.
I spent the whole time worrying I would back out of it and not end up having the surgery. Up until I was actually going into the theatre I truly didn't really believe it would happen. The whole night before, I said "oh I probably wont wake up in time, they'll probably cancel, it just won't end up happening". I'd wanted this for 13 years, i'd scheduled and cancelled several times with several doctors, it had never happened so why would it happen now?
But for some reason my stars were finally aligned.
Next thing you know, I'm laying on an operating table with both set of fingers firmly crossed, praying to survive. Thinking lovely thoughts of my kids. I had spent weeks spending quality time with them, taking lovely pictures of us together. I had done so much reflection and become at peace with who I was, their mother, but one who also wanted to be healthy and mentally happy. In a way you could say that partly, I had prepared for my death. Lol even though I knew the chance was very small and had spoken to many of this doctor's patients who'd had a good experience and seen he was highly rated.
So anyways,
I remember gradually falling asleep on the operating table.
Next thing I woke Up, to my phone being placed in my hand. My partner says I made a call to him to tell him I had survived. An hour and a half later I woke up again and called him and he said yes you called me earlier, you were falling asleep while talking. And he thrilled I was okay (I was sleep deprived before the surgery) next thing my kids were visiting me twice a day there until I was released. And the rest is history!
What was all that fuss about anyway?
I should have had this done years ago.
I can't really believe I'm writing this and that I've had a tummy tuck to be honest.
Me and my partner can't believe I actually did it. He says I'm happier now and he likes it.
I think I'm happier. Actually I know I am for sure.
But.. I just want a BBL now LOL.
Saving for the next mission now. My tummy is fantastic. Let's get the back and sides sorted.
And in 2 years when my makeover is complete and we've saved more we will get married and I am going to "kill the game" ;) on the beach in my bikini :D

So happy to complete this review!

Peace out everyone ??

I had a procedure with Dr Turkin.He is a charming and kind man and I trusted him completely.
After the surgery he explained that he had to put incisions in a place we had not agreed on beforehand which I was a little annoyed about and they were very noticeable. But he assured me that all worked be well and I went home reassured.
A few weeks later I contacted New Look Holiday as you could clearly see that the procedure hadn't worked.
DrTurkin looked at my pictures that he requested to see, agreed with me and said he would do revision surgery free of charge I would just have to pay for the anesthesia, flights, hotel.
I made the appointment for the surgery and during the consultation he told me that I needed to wait a further 6 months for better healing from the previous surgery. Six months past & I duly made the appointment and booked my flight only to be told that my surgery along with all other surgeries for the foreseeable future had been cancelled ( I believe they said it was something to do with the hospital that they use). But promised me faithfully that as soon as things were sorted my promised revision would go ahead.
For months and months I have been emailing them with no reply andthey don't answer their phones.
I eventually got an email back 2? Months ago saying they would contact me the end of August beginning of September this year to make an appointment for me. Again.. nothing. I have tried emailing and getting no replies.
I have completely lost faith in the company now, they clearly have no intention of honouring their promise. And I am left with an unsatisfactory procedure and terrible visual scarring .
