will be interesting (in a faraway sort of way) for what comes out of this...
the op is fairly simple but the actual implications are pretty severe... there are the usual things that can go wrong during op as well as all sorts of complexities that can happen subsequently like slipped bands etc... the aftercare is very important as is the whole change in lifestyle of the patient... to adapt to the new smaller stomach space for food entry.... and what one can or can't eat...
i have met one person who has undergone this op on the NHS ... and i was quite shocked at all the palaver... still in their case they were determined and after other options had been looked at.... in their case intensive exercise was not an immediate option due to serious injury that caused loss of movement ability and consequent comfort eating .... deemed an appropriate patient for this course of action that at least in the medium term has hopefully been life saving and certainly has been life changing....
the gastric band is not usually the first port of call though if someone rolls up to some clinic in the private sector eg abroad it may well be
as for human right well will be interesting!
don't know what other ops come into this kind of circumstance...
GOD BLESS!
Peace and Love,
