Tony Parsons: NHS Gastric Band Disaster




Here is Journalist and Author Tony Parsons reaction to the news that a man is attempting to sue the NHS following his gastric band operation:

A man who lost 12 stone after having a gastric band fitted is to sue the NHS.

Good luck to him. I hope he takes them for a fortune.

Some say that Tim Daily, 47, is an embittered, selfish man to sue the cash-strapped NHS.

I say he has every right to be bitter. He may have lost half his body weight thanks to the wonders of a gastric band, but he has also effectively lost his life.

Tim can’t eat. That is the grotesque reality of a gastric band. After having his gut strangled, he can no longer swallow a biscuit without washing it down with morphine. He can’t work. His wife is his full-time carer. His life is a misery.

Over the last ten years, almost 5,000 people have had gastric bands fitted on the NHS. A total waste of public money. That is the real obscenity.

A gastric band is not a diet aid. It is an act of self-mutilation.

You should not be able to get self-mutilation on the NHS.
