A trans woman who flew to Turkey for gender reassignment surgery to beat an eight-year NHS waiting list 'feared she'd die' following complications as she flew home.
Shona Thompson, 41, had waited 30 years to switch gender after realising as a schoolboy that she felt trapped in her male body.
She flew to Izmir for the £8,000 operation, which was successful, but suffered internal injuries on the journey home when airport assistance she had booked in advance did not arrive.
Shona should have been taken to the plane in a wheelchair after being driven to Izmir airport in an ambulance, but instead said she had to walk while carrying her suitcase.
The injuries she sustained resulted in her being rushed into an NHS hospital in her home town of Blackpool, Lancs, where she waited 12 hours in a wheelchair to be seen in A&E.
Mother of two Shona claimed she had to walk around two miles with her suitcase while a dilator - a silicone device used to prevent shrinkage after vaginoplasty - was still in place.
During her journey from Izmir to Manchester, via Istanbul, she suffered serious internal injuries - and claims the treatment she received in Blackpool Victoria Hospital meant she had to return to Izmir for corrective surgery.
Despite the two month ordeal following her surgery, Shona says she is now looking forward to her new life as a woman which she has dreamt of since she was an 11-year-old boy.
She and wife Katy, 37, say their two children aged 11 and six are adapting well to the new family circumstances and are relieved to have her home safe.
Shona flew out to Ekol Hastanesi in Izmir on February 2 for an £8,000 sex swap operation, which was carried out successfully.

It got what it was looking for... dialtor, the medical equivalent of a dildo and couldn’t handle it 🤣🤣🤣
Ugly as hell as well.
Ew.
Old joke: What’s the Turkish army motto? Never leave your buddy’s behind.
So, HE got a Turkey baster stuck up his incision?
Yeah no $#!+, Sherlock!!!
They cut his johnson off and gouged out a big hole in his crotch. That right there constitutes "serious injuries" both external AND internal.
“vaginoplasty”, a fake medical term which refers to an open wound intended to be made permanent by force.
Who in their right mind would go to Turkey for ANY medical procedure? Obviously, this individual should have self-committed to a residential mental institution. I wonder if they will suicide eventually.
