Shameful to publish an article with so much non evidence-based, biased & misleading info. The evidence is clear, #BariatricSurgery is the most effective treatment for sustained weight loss that improves QOL, reduces T2 #diabetes, CVD, and mortality 1/2 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8550645/amp/Will-gastric-bands-NHS-solve-obesity-Boris-promises-free-ops.html?__twitter_impression=true">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...

Will more gastric bands on the NHS solve obesity?

Research shows 67 per cent of men and 60 per cent of women in the UK are overweight. Dr Max Pemberton and Jenni Murray debate if obesity should be tackled with Bariatric surgery.

2/2 and instead of misleading the public by showing relative risk of complications, you should also provide absolute risk data so readers can see the real picture. Thats apart from the stigmatising language. We give patients facts. And some patients do need post surgery support
