Everybody wants to be thin. Everybody wants to be as sexy as Halle Berry, Marion, Hannah T or Paris Hilton. Or as awesome as the lick-able chad micheal murray muscular body.
Recently, a bride who had her stomach stapled died of starvation.
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.
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.
This gives them the sensation of being full after eating a smaller meal than normal.
The inquest heard that in Mrs Favell’s case, surgeon Jacques Himpens had left only a 30cm (11.8in) length of small intestine free instead of the recommended 75cm (29in).
Pathologist Manuel Sotres said this was “not enough to ingest enough food to keep someone alive”.
Coroner Andrew Haigh recorded a verdict of accidental death, but said the operation was partly to blame.
He said Mrs Favell’s death was due to multi-organ failure, protein malnutrition and malabsorption due to weight-loss surgery.
We hear news like this all the time. And sad to say that sometimes it doesnt have to turn out this way. Does the society now only care for looks?
Its common to hear that weight is an issue nowadays. As people have more money and the food are getting more and more delicious, a lot of people have weight problems. Food is no longer a survival object but a cure to temptation, desires and food cravings. And a lot got dumped by girlfriends and boyfriends because of one reason too: “You are TOO FAT! and HES More Handsome. At least he has some puny ABS!” “OMG SHES SO SEXY”. “how come i only see meat on you?”. Of course, those words are really painful to hear. and a lot of people are actually looking for weight loss programs and even extreme starvation diet. However do keep in mind that the best way out of this is through proper diet and exercise. It is easy to gain weight but its not easy to lose weight. Everybody knows that but there is never an easy way out.
