Gastric Band Surgery Could Save UK 4.3bn Per Year.
The UK’s rising obesity problem is costing the UK 4.3bn per year, according to a new report, and gastric band surgery could be the answer.
The National Institute of Health & Clinical Excellence (Nice) claims that over 1 million people in the UK are suitable candidates for bariatric surgery such as a gastric band, and if just 25% of these people had one fitted it would save £150m in benefits payments alone.
Much like cosmetic surgery such as breast enlargement, liposuction & tummy tuck, many people seek gastric band procedures abroad where they can be considerably cheaper than in the UK.

It needs to be alot cheaper if people are able to afford it.
I heard people who overeat may not receive benefits unless thay can prove it is medically induced.
I would be so embarrased to claim benefits because i was too fat to work.
