It has been reported that every year NHS has been dishing out millions to fund weight-loss surgery.

Since 2000, there has been a 10 times increase and NHS is also supposed to fund drugs like Avastin which is adding up to its burden.

On weight-loss surgery, every year more than £32million is being spent. Experts are also stating that rather than losing weight, people want to opt for a quick fix.

There are reports that for getting qualified for the surgery, some people rather than dieting and exercising are putting on pounds.

Fern Britton and like celebrities are fuelling this trend.

There has been a sharp rise in the number of people getting the gastric surgery and the numbers have reached 4,619 in the year.

Two years earlier this number was 2,543 and out of five patients opting this surgery, four were women.

Gastric band and gastric bypass operations help in reducing stomach capacity and this makes a patient eat less food. But according to the NHS guidelines, only those people are allowed to get this surgery who are 'morbidly obese' or very obese.

One surgery costs somewhere between £5,000 and £7,000, while gastric bypasses cost from £8,000 to £14,000. Following these costs, every year the burden on the NHS would exceed £32.3million.
