Is Gastric Band Surgery Cheating?

Most People who are considering gastric band surgery probably have been struggling with their weight problem for many years – they have lost and regained weight perhaps several times.

Gastric Band dose not provide an instant solution, but it does provide a long term solution, most patients manage to reach a weight they are comfortable with and can stablise their weight.

Is gastric band cheating? Well, it dose cheat misery and bad health. Does it make any sense to struggle with a weight problem for many years – life is short, most people want to have a healthy and happy life without their weight problem hanging over them day in and day out. Giving that you can now get this surgery for around under £4,000, it makes sense to get it done if your BMI (body mass index) is between 35 to 50. The money you can save from your food bills after the surgery will exceed soon that you have paid for the surgery.

The money you will save from your food bills can then be happily spent on an entire new wardrobe. This is not cheating, this is logical, sensible decision.

Do talk to your GP about the idea of getting a gastric band fitted, if your local nhs won’t do it, there is no reason why you should not get it done privately if you can manage the finance.

Boots Stocks New Alli Weight Loss Product

Boots have announced the arrival of alli, a new over the counter weight loss medicine. alli (Orlistat 60mg), available at Boots without prescription and is suitable for adults with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 28 or over, who are prepared to make changes to their diet – and Advantage Card holders who purchase alli from Boots are eligible for a whole host of added savings and benefits.

Alli Weight Loss

As one of UK’s leading healthcare retailers, Boots is a popular destination for those wanting to find out more about how to lose weight safely and effectively through taking alli. Boots pharmacists are on hand for expert, personalised help and advice without an appointment, and will be able to recommend the best way to help customers lose weight with the help of the weight loss aid, alli.

Weight loss advice from Boots experts:

“If customers want to lose weight, their pharmacist is a good first point of call,” said Boots Pharmacist Angela Chalmers, “They will be able to ascertain a method of weight loss which would be suitable, provide advice and set realistic goals. They are there to help the customer and monitor their progress, so they really don’t have to go it alone. They don’t even have to make an appointment, just pop into their local Boots store.”

The first step towards losing weight is for customers to find out their BMI, which for a healthy person is between 18.5 and 24.9. Boots has installed easy-to-use Healthy-Weight Check Machines in larger stores throughout the UK which enable customers to ensure they are making the right weight-loss decision for their individual needs. The machines give a healthy weight assessment that measures their height, weight, and BMI at the cost of just 50 pence.

For those on a reduced calorie and lower fat diet, they may find it helpful to consider supplementation, to help ensure they are meeting all their nutritional needs while on a diet.

Boots Positive Healthcare Technical Expert Nick Bennett said: “If customers are taking a weight loss product that reduces fat absorption, then they may wish to consume extra fat soluble vitamins and important fatty acids such as EPA and DHA which may otherwise be lacking in the diet. A good way to do this is by building a foundation of supplementation to include a complete A-Z of vitamins and minerals, an omega 3 supplement, such as a high strength fish oil, and a probiotic supplement to help maintain the health of the digestive tract while it experiences potentially radical changes in food intake.”

Brits Have Biggest BMI In Europe As Revealed By LighterLife

LighterLife has revealed that British women are the most overweight in Europe and British men tip the scales as the third fattest, according to the average European body mass index (BMI).

LighterLife

In the lead up to BMI 4 Life, a campaign highlighting the life-and-death importance of BMI, an alarming survey published in the newsletter of the French National Institute of Demographic studies has shown that British women on average have a BMI of 26.2, which is considered overweight.

French women have a BMI of 23.2, the lowest in the EU, but tend to worry more about being fat than those in any other EU country. Typically, British woman are overweight but convinced they are slim, highlighting the fact that many people don’t know what BMI means and have no idea how it is measured.

Unsurprisingly, the survey suggests that men across the EU are less concerned about their weight than women, although out of the 15 member countries only French and Dutch men fall within the ideal weight range, with the rest being overweight.

The BMI 4 Life campaign, which is being championed by weight-management experts LighterLife, aims to highlight the very real dangers associated with excessive weight gain and the importance of reaching and maintaining a healthy BMI.

LighterLife is once again teaming up with The Stroke Association and is encouraging members of the public to get involved and show they care by visiting and posting a message on the LighterLife website, taking a quiz and passing it onto their friends to help LighterLife increase awareness and raise money for The Stroke Association.

Sara Jamison, CEO at LighterLife said: “We are excited about supporting The Stroke Association and are encouraging everyone to post their messages of support, take the quiz, learn more about the risks associated with stroke and pass the message onto their friends to raise thousands of pounds for this very worthwhile charity.”

Sara added: “More people than you realise are at risk of having a stroke and being overweight can increase this risk. Carrying extra weight around the waist is particularly dangerous as it increases the risk of stroke, heart disease and some cancers threefold.”

Andrea Lane, Media Manager for The Stroke Association, said: “Many people don’t realise that a stroke is a brain attack that happens when the blood supply to the brain is cut off and brain cells die. As the brain controls everything we do, think and feel the damage can be devastating. Being obese can increase your risk of stroke by over 30 per cent so it is vital we all maintain a healthy body weight and a good diet.”

LighterLife, the weight loss and weight management programme, has introduced a brand new forum to its website called ‘Talking LighterLife’, to encourage clients to share and discuss their experiences of the LighterLife programme

Talking LighterLife will offer LighterLife clients a facility to express their views and talk about their LighterLife experiences and talk to others about how LighterLife has changed their lives. LighterLife clients will have the opportunity to post comments and gain extra support from others on the programme between their weekly group meetings.

The LighterLife forum allows clients the opportunity to speak to others on the programme and indentify with them and share similar experiences, whether they are commenting on celebs in the news, new diet products or how they have got on at their weekly group meeting. For some clients it provides an instant response or support when they are having a weak moment and for others, it is useful for updating and monitoring their progress on a daily or weekly basis as they progress through the weight loss programme. Many people on diets find it especially useful to talk with others and this is the opportunity for which Talking LighterLife is designed.

As well as allowing clients to talk about LighterLife, the weight loss forum will also offer potential clients the chance to learn more about the programme from people who have actually succeeded on it. Visitors will be able to see real questions posted by, and answered by, LighterLife clients. By offering this service, visitors will be able to read honest unbiased information to give them the tools to decide whether they are ready to join the programme. Users can also find a Counsellor, sign up and start the LighterLife journey themselves. There is also an opportunity for existing or potential clients to askLighterLife a question directly if they don’t want to post their question publicly.

Sara Jamison, the Sales and Marketing Director at LighterLife, commented: “The introduction of Talking LighterLife is a fantastic addition to the LighterLife website. There are a number of LighterLife blogs online and we thought that the new forum would be the perfect place for both clients and potential clients to log on and either talk about their experiences or find out more about the programme in one central place.”
