The London Weight Centre

Over 1.3million people in the UK are considered morbidly obese and the numbers are growing each year. Obesity is a disease and a serious health risk. Excessive weight affects more than your jean size. It strains your heart and can shorten life expectancy. Obesity can also stop you from enjoying life and taking part in leisurely activities because it causes painful joints and backaches. It can also make you feel isolated and unwilling to leave your home. These symptoms are gradual, but they are inevitable if you allow your weight to get out of control.

There IS help and you can be successful with the help of The London Weight Centre.

The centre offers different types of bariatric (weight loss) surgery. It’s up to you (and your doctor) to decide which one is right for you.

Weight loss surgery limits the amount of food you can eat. Some operations also restrict the amount of food you are able to digest. Weight loss can happen very quickly. If you change the way you live your life, as well as your thoughts, attitudes and emotions about food, you will keep the weight off for good.

Prior to your consultation for morbid obesity surgery, it is beneficial for you to undertake some research into the types of procedures available, such as laparoscopic gastric banding, laparoscopic gastric bypass, laparoscopic duodenal switch and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Even if you think you have chosen your ideal procedure for morbid obesity, such as the gastric bypass, it is important to look into all other surgical options as well to make sure that the gastric bypass is the right choice for you.
