Britains Fattest Woman Dies After Being Denied Gastric Band,

Sharon Mevsimler, Britains largest woman, died yesterday in hospital after years of overeating.

Sharon had been denied a gastric band operation, partly because she was too large to safely undergo surgery, and partly because doctors did not believe that she would follow the post-op diet necessary to avoid complications and achieve a good result.

Witnesses at Broomfield Hospital, where she had been a patient for two months, claim that the woman’s family smuggled food including fish & chips and fried chicken into the hospital for her.

Cutbacks mean it has become increasingly difficult to obtain bariatric and cosmetic surgery such as breast enlargement, liposuction and tummy tuck on the NHS.
