If you are one of the thousands considering weight-loss surgery, advice site Gastric Band Info is urging you to consider procedures such as gastric band surgery as part of a lifestyle change, not just a shortcut to weight loss.
Obesity surgery, such as gastric bands, gastric balloons and gastric bypass procedures, can prove very effective at shifting excess weight.
However, the best ‘before and after’ results come when patients maintain a sensible diet and exercise following the procedure, rather than have the surgery in isolation.

“Gastric band and gastric balloon surgery are both on the rise, as people realise how safe and effective the treatment can be,” said a spokesman for Gastric Band Info.
“Patients can lose several stone and the health benefits are also huge. Being overweight or obese can cause issues such as heart problems and diabetes, and weight-loss surgery can help tackle this.
“During gastric band and gastric balloon surgery aftercare, we teach patients the importance of a healthy diet and those who maintain this tend to benefit most from the treatment. The treatment is a lifestyle change, not a quick fix.”
