Many overweight and morbidly obese people have endured a lifetime of low self esteem, zero confidence and increased health problems.

Most have suffered in silence and have retreated into their own comfort zone refusing to socialise and dreading the holiday period.

Many patients fall victim to bouts of depression, binge eating and agoraphobia. In many cases they retreat into a life devoid of social activity with friends and family members.

Just as laser eye treatment has changed the lives of millions of patients with poor eye sight, gastric banding surgery or a Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding operation is changing the lives of thousands of overweight patients.

Not only is this band surgery delivering staggering success results, but it's also performed privately at an affordable cost.

Criteria for having a gastric banding operation performed by the National Health Service in the UK is so rigorous that few overweight or morbidly obese patients receive a free band operation.

Many of the problems surrounding these rigorous National Health criteria for surgery are dictated from the fact that most health regions in the UK are run by Regional Medical Trusts.

All have different criteria for medical treatments. They appear to be more concerned with cutting costs and monitoring their budgets, than being concerned about the welfare of overweight and morbidly obese patients.

This in itself is very hypercritical when one considers the costs to the National Health from medical illnesses and issues directly attributable to patients being overweight or morbidly obese.

The cost for band surgery in the UK is often double that when performed by a UK medical board registered surgeon operating privately in a hospital in Belgium.

Quite obviously band surgery is not the cure for every overweight or morbidly obese patient,but it does deliver a staggeringly high success rate by achieving approximately a 50% loss of excess weight for most patients in 2 years.

Given this information one can only wonder how long it will take for the bean counters of these regional health trusts to understand that paying approximately £4,000 for a morbidly obese patient to have a band operation, will deliver huge medical savings post operation for these patients.

It's a sad fact of life that most overweight and morbidly obese patients have to suffer ill health, physical pain and psychological torture from being overweight, simply because they can't afford to pay for a Laparoscopic adjustable banding operation.
