Nigerian Parents Awarded £858,000 After Daughter Succumbed To Gastric Bypass Surgery Complications

A UK High Court has awarded £858,000 to Toyin and Oyebanji Ashamu after their daughter, 26‑year‑old IT worker Khelisyah Ashamu, died after a gastric bypass procedure in Izmir, Türkiye...


Khelisyah booked the procedure through the UK company Get Slim run by Tracey Ozdemir and paid about £3,300 for a package that included the operation and accommodation but she became critically ill after the first operation, underwent a second operation, suffered a cardiac arrest and died on February 9, 2019...

A coroner recorded the cause of death as gastrointestinal ischaemia with inadequate monitoring and care after the second operation..

Her parents sued Ms Ozdemir, arguing that the company had arranged the whole package including medical treatment and aftercare but Ms Ozdemir denied responsibility..

 Mrs Justice Obi ruled that the organiser owed a duty to ensure proper performance of the surgery and aftercare and awarded the full damages to the family, offering condolences while noting that nothing can undo the loss but hoped the ruling would bring some comfort.

    3. True but it will help them retire when they should, she left a young child behind this will go a long way as a trust fund for the child. Otherwise, taking care of a young child at their old age won't be easy

  4. Resr in peace. it's just I dunno why they sued the Tracey Ozdemir who is the 'introducer' as stated in UK blogs and not the actual hospital, but then again maybe the hospital is not running post op duties. Well the Tracey would never just be a connection without doing a total investigation
