As if it wasn’t enough that gastric bands are helping tackle the UK’s obesity crisis, they have also helped one woman conceive, according to delighted mother-of-two Lisa Rea!
Though such stories are clearly not the norm (and gastric bands certainly shouldn’t be relied on for such remarkable results!) Lisa’s case is another example of the headline-grabbing properties of today’s weight-loss surgery.
In Lisa’s case she lost 16 stone with a Lapband, and experts at Gastric Band Info have seen many similar stories.
“Stomach bands are obviously intended to help you eat less, but the associated benefits are far beyond looking good and feeling more confident,” said a spokesman for Gastric Band Info.
Health benefits of gastric bands
“Diabetes, heart problems and high blood pressure are just a few of the issues that can accompany obesity, and treatments that help you lose weight also improve your chances of avoiding these conditions.
Because a Lapband works by restricting the size of the stomach, and therefore managing the amount you can eat, patients learn healthy eating habits over time. This is vital for the long-term success of gastric band treatment.”
Other weight-loss procedures includes gastric bypass (for patients keen to avoid surgery) and gastric balloon (for morbidly obese patients) treatments.
