TV celebrities like Sharon Osbourne and Fern Britton, and sports stars such as golfer John Daly, have all seen the benefits of a gastric band. In fact, that trio alone has shed a total of 300 pounds thanks to the weight-loss band.
As little as ten years ago gastric bands were very much an unknown quantity, but today they are part of everyday life for thousands and known to millions of people around the UK and abroad.
Weight-loss experts Why Go Abroad for Surgery are helping the message to hit home further with a gallery of before and after photos, and case studies, showing how a gastric band has transformed patients’ lives.
What are the benefits of a gastric band?
Big-hitting golfer John Daly weighed almost 300 pounds at one point, and admits even bending down to tie his shoe would leave him out of breath.
His gastric band helped him lose 115 pounds and Major-winner Daly is now a keen supporter of weight-loss surgery: “Your self-esteem gets better. This is the greatest technology that anyone can have.”
Easy to adjust – and remove when you have achieved your desired effect – a gastric band does not only help you lose weight in the short-term. The band is so effective because it teaches you healthy eating habits so excessive weight stays off in the long-term.
