NHS 'limiting obesity operations'

A sudden attack of smart from across the pond.
"Hospitals in England and Wales are refusing referrals for obesity operations on costs grounds, a snapshot survey of doctors suggests.

GP magazine Pulse polled 20 consultants in charge of such surgery and found half bounced referrals back to GPs.

It means the severely obese - at risk of conditions like heart disease - have to rely on lifestyle changes and drugs."

That would be instead of surgery plus "lifestyle changes and drugs."

The latter two remain inescapable even when the malpractice known as bariatric surgery is performed.

Congrats to the Brits, if this story is true.
