Petition Details

Free gastric non invasive balloon for obese people without waiting time such as for gastric surgeries.

Additional Information

The reason i because obesity it is a disability and nhs gives free surgical gastric solutions only once an obese reaches a bmi of 40, with long waiting times, it is pushing people to reach that number instead of giving free dietician consultations or free personal trainers or even free healthy food with is usually very expensive. The gastric balloon is not invasive, perhaps there is no need to go through all the stages and wait long after a referral, also there is no need to reach a bmi of 40.
