A lovely bride has died of starvation after years of unsuccessful dieting led her to try obesity surgery - with catastrophic results.

Bride who had stomach stapled died of starvation - Daily Mail

Extract:

"A bride desperate to be slim for her wedding day died of starvation after stomach stapling surgery went wrong. Emma Favell, 32, paid a Belgian clinic £7,000 to carry out the radical procedure and within six months her weight dropped from 23 stones to 15 stones.

By the time she married in March, she weighed around eight-and-a-half stones and was able to slip into a size 8 wedding dress.

But an inquest has heard how a mistake in the operation meant she was not able to give her body the nutrition she needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle and she died a month later.

South Staffordshire Coroner's Court was told that Mrs Favell had suffered years of depression over her size.

The nurse, from Burton upon Trent, spent months researching the treatment before picking out a Sint Blasius clinic in Belgium, where the procedure is carried out for half the £14,000 price tag in the UK.

During stomach stapling, surgeons usually close off some of the patient's small intestine, leaving a smaller area where food and gastric juices can mix."

Such a sad story. Dieting does not reduce obesity, as this unfortunate young lady found out, and obesity surgery carries a high degree of risk. She has been poorly served by doctors.

The safe way to lose excess weight is to give up dieting, eat good healthy meals, low in salt, and eat plenty of fruit and fresh vegetables.
