This is just ****ing ridiculous. 30k spent on a gastric band and the following procedures..and the guy starts eating liquefied kebabs and stuff. Surely it would make sense to have some kind of 'food counselling' or something after throwing all that money at his ops? Mind maybe they didn't think he would be sick enough to do this.

A girl I know has been an alcoholic since she was a young teen and is about 35 or so now. This past 2 years she has been in hospital for various procedures (usually draining liquid from around her liver) which must have cost a bomb. But whats the point? She gets out and starts getting pissed again. What good is doing all these ops and such on her doing...besides wasting money the NHS doesn't have?

We have idiots like that Josie Cunningham bragging about getting BOOB JOBS on the NHS to further their careers...

And now we have the hormone blocking rubbish for 9 year olds in the pipeline.

Honestly, is it any wonder the NHS is skint? Stuff like this seriously bugs me when there are cancer patients and such who are denied treatment as funding is too low, yet we can give gastric bands to people who waste them, and help to alcoholics who have no intention of getting better? Boob jobs to bimbos and potentially life ruining procedures to children...

Couldn't agree more.
