Surgery and Obesity

Weight loss is a thing on the mind of many of us. Almost everyone feels they have at least a few pounds to shed but for some people it can get serious.

I have always been a little overweight but make sure I exercise on a regular basis and try to eat well for the most part. Obviously there are times when things all falls apart.

Sadly some people are in the zone known as obesity and this is a growing problem throughout all major countries.

Surgery is something I have always been skeptical about.

So when I was given the opportunity to look at healthierweight.co.uk I wanted to find out what it actually is.

They offer a few services including Doctor monitored weight loss programs and something called a gastric band . The gastic band is the surgery option. It basically involves an operation to install an adjustable device (their new model requires no re-entry to adjust, it's all done electronically) that will be able to change the size of your stomach. A little scary but pretty simple and I am sure in many cases effective.

They say that some people have problems with appetite that is mental but serious enough that they can't control so surgery may be the best opetion to stop the disease of obesity taking hold.

Their website is a little cluttered but informative and friendly. They have a PR3 so Google trusts them a little and what won me over was the fact that assessing yourself and non-surgery options were available first so it seems as if they are trustworthy.

I hope I never need surgery but it may be right for many people who are dying and could become common place.
